Nile - Evil to Cast Out Evil

Probably the best opening riff ever for Nile in this one.
The opening riff is actually pretty nice but not all that memorable or first rate. TBH Nile's death metal has always been not much more than serviceable and combining it with Egypt-y sounding stuff is definitely a gimmick even if it was an entertaining one, so if the band has decided to go techy melodic death metal or whatever that was then I'm not gonna be disappointed at a sound change. Still just kinda good but I'd be willing to check that album out. The vocalist still has no charisma though.
