fosku Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Saurian Meditation is an excellent album! Really takes you to another place and time! Haven't heard the other but I guess I have to try it some time. Death metal is not my cup of tea though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danisssy Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Wow, I'm digging this. I'm also a big Nile fan, but always wished to hear more of the ambient stuff that is sparsely spread through some of their albums. Appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iTranscendence Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 This is way more world music with almost no psy influence. However of all the death metal I've listened to Nile was my favorite just because of the amount of detail, study and understanding of Egyptian history that has gone into their modus operendi. I think it's really cool that he's done this downtempo project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
