Some Metal and Rock ‘N Roll Thoughts – Wednesday, July 11, 2012
Posted in Death Metal, Hard Rock, hard rock albums, Heavy Metal, heavy metal albums, metal music, Music, people, rock music, rock music news with tags Death Metal, hard rock news, heavy metal news, nile, rock 'n roll thoughts, rock music news, sepultura on July 11, 2012 by Metal Odyssey
On a recent trip to f.y.e., I was accompanied by Best Metal Buddy Scott Coverdale and he discovered this unreal and not readily easy-to-find Sepultura EP (pictured above). Tribus – Australian Special Tour Edition was released back in 1999, via Roadrunner Records. This primo Sepultura find was in a large bin of unused CD’s that were drastically reduced in price. I paid 50 cents for it. 50 cents!! Ring that bargain Metal bell and whoa. There’s more to come in this post, about this f.y.e. trip…
______________________________
I am currently in the preliminary stages of relocating with my family. Where to? Hint: the Pretenders had a hit single about this state (My City Was Gone) and it can be found on this album:
Pretenders – Learning To Crawl
Released: (1983 U.K.) (1984 U.S.) on Sire
______________________________
Just when you think you’ve seen everything, well, think again. I guess we all get stunned every once in-awhile. Now… take a look at this… if you dare:
Yup. An ABBA tribute band. They’re called ARRIVAL. They’re also dubbed “The worlds greatest ABBA tribute band” too. The scary thing about all of this; is the clear fact that people are paying to see them perform. Metal be thy name and may the Metal Gods save my Metal soul.
______________________________
My apologies for showing the above, my Metal brethren. At least now, you know stuff like this actually exists. To remedy any aftershock from what you’ve just read and saw, stare at the album cover below:
NILE – At The Gate Of Sethu (Nuclear Blast)
Yes, by staring at the cover art for At The Gate Of Sethu, it will rid you of any possible ABBA cover band nightmares. This new NILE album is incredible. What else can be expected from NILE? Buy it. Play it. Play it often. Play it F’n loud. NILE F’N RULES. I couldn’t be more Metal precise than that.
_________________________
As mentioned at the beginning of this post, Best Metal Buddy Scott Coverdale and I had a Metal reunion! The last time I saw him was on our trip to the 2010 M3 Rock Festival down in Columbia, Maryland. The family and I took a trip up to Connecticut from Pennsylvania this past weekend and putting aside a few hours to hang out with Coverdale was Metal mandatory. Coverdale just returned from a 3 week trip to Lebanon and London. We only had a short window of time to see each other; so here is where we went:
Yes, Scott Coverdale and I found out that the Metal was aplenty at the f.y.e. in Torrington, Connecticut (both used and new CD’s). Believe it or not, we spent just under 2 hours there! We had to make comments about every damn CD we picked up; yelling across the aisles whatever we had to say, we were like 2 old ladies at a bingo hall! Coverdale and I both spent (about) $40 each; with used CD’s being the rule. As Coverdale always says: “you get more Metal bang for your buck, when you buy used CD’s”. I honestly can’t argue with him there.
Hey. Speaking of “bingo hall”… can you keep a secret? Stone used to oversee the entire operation of a parochial school bingo. It was a huge weekly event; one which raised a handsome amount of money for the school. Metal be thy name.
Alright. Enough about F’n bingo. Coverdale and I then left the f.y.e. store and drove our cars 50 feet to:
Ninety Nine. It’s a restaurant. It’s a bar. It has a family atmosphere too. Burgers, fries, chicken, salads, etc. are served up there. I’ve always liked the food and service at Ninety Nine. Coverdale and I opted to sit at the bar and take in on the big screen: the warriors from the Bronx, a.k.a. New York Yankees pounding on the hapless Boston Red Sox. What did we eat you’re wondering? We shared a huge plate of hot wings. What did we drink it all down with? Cold beer.
I’m a devout Yankees fan and Coverdale is, well, a Red Sox fan. Our baseball rivalry has always made for memorable debates! Once we both knew it was time to say goodbye, it kind of sucked. Our schedules and distance keeps us apart, still, we are… Best Metal Buddies to the end! Metal be thy name.

Thank you for sticking around and reading my Metal and Rock ‘N Roll Thoughts. It is appreciated. Now remember: during these hot and humid Summer months, watch where you’re walking in parking lots.

NILE – Reveals Cover Art For “At The Gate Of Sethu”
Posted in Death Metal, Extreme Metal, Heavy Metal, heavy metal news, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags at the gate of sethu, Death Metal, heavy metal albums 2012, heavy metal news, karl sanders, Metal, nile on April 28, 2012 by Metal Odyssey
Ancient Egypt-themed Death Metal act NILE have just revealed the cover artwork of their upcoming album: ‘’At The Gate Of Sethu’’
Artwork was handled this time by a true genius of darkened visuals, Seth Siro Anton (Soilwork, Paradise Lost, SepticFlesh).
Band mastermind Karl Sanders commented:
“Seth Siro Anton has designed the cover. I have been a fan of SEPTIC FLESH a long time, and as Seth expressed interest, I knew that he would deliver a great job.
I would say his work is easily the best we’ve ever had. He has captured the darker side of the sound of NILE and reflected the music and ideas, the heart and soul of NILE are forming. Seth is a very talented man and understands exactly who we are. ”
Seth Siro Anton states:
“It is no secret that I admire the powerful stylistic lines of the magical symbols that still transmit the aura of ancient Egypt, preserving in time the ancient mysteries.
Also, I am fascinated from the final frozen moment of the flesh captured in an eternal sleeping stasis, at the completion of the mummification process.
So, with a great pleasure I accepted the challenge, to visualize the new masterpiece of Nile ‘’At the gate of Sethu’’.
‘’At the gate of Sethu’’ will be released June 29, 2012 via Nuclear Blast.

NILE – Worship The Animal / 1994 The Lost Recordings: 5 Songs Of Essential, Savage Metal
Posted in album reviews, Death Metal, Extreme Metal, Heavy Metal, heavy metal news, metal music, metal odyssey, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags Death Metal, death metal albums 2011, Extreme Metal, Heavy Metal, heavy metal news, karl sanders, metal music, metal odyssey, nile on October 10, 2011 by Metal Odyssey
NILE – Releasing on October 11th, 2011, on Goomba Music, is the five song hidden Metal treasure from NILE: Worship The Animal / 1994 The Lost Recordings. Let’s put this (new) release from NILE into Metal perspective here, these are five Extreme/Death Metal songs recorded back in 1994 that obliterate a noteworthy percentage of the average and “good” albums that cross my Metal path in 2011. These “lost recordings” from NILE are without a doubt in my Metal mind, essential to pick up and listen to on a continued timetable. Metal be thy name.
This early demo from NILE is saturated with crunchy riffs from Karl Sanders and a Thrash colliding with Death Metal wall of sound. Haunting vibes run rampant throughout, while slivers of Doom Metal resonate from many guitar parts, with Surrounded By Fright being a fine example of this. No where is there a dull moment on these songs, they are raw and in your face with a real-feel that I cannot deny. The bass of Chief Spires and drumming of Pete Hammoura are stuff of underground Metal legend on these songs… enough thundering stump to create a sink hole beneath your tower speakers.
The vocals are fierce and hair-raising, just what any NILE fan would come to expect. The union of these mammoth vocals and Metal are an all-encompassing experience of just how incredible NILE did sound at their onset. The chant-like backing vocals on the title track are immediately haunting and it’s elements like this that made NILE stand out among their Death Metal peers of yesterday and even now. This title track is my favorite out of the five and I can’t get enough of it. Metal as my witness, I’m placing this Worship The Animal song on my personal list of greatest Metal songs ever. You bet it is, in all of its non-technical, stripped down and riff heavy glory.
NILE has certainly come a long way since these lost recordings were created, always raising their own bar on jaw-dropping technicality heard swirling within their legendary Death Metal style. Listening to these songs makes me realize that NILE and Karl Sanders were destined to persevere and exist with Death Metal authority in 2011. The Ancient Egyptian themes all started here, a lyrical trademark with NILE. These never before mass-released recordings are the building blocks of what has evolved over time, with this ever successful Death Metal juggernaut. The original NILE lineup has easily been anointed legendary, only these lost recordings power-stamp this Metal fact.
NILE – Original Lineup:
Karl Sanders – guitar & vocals
Chief Spires – bass & vocals
Pete Hammoura – drums
Worship The Animal / 1994 The Lost Recordings Track List:
La Chant Du Cygre
Worship The Animal
Nepenthe
Surrounded By Fright
Mecca
