The vocals aren't anything special tbh. They're not especially bad, just more death metal vocals you didn't need to hear but that do their job of existing as death metal vocals on a death metal album.
The big problem seems to be that you have decent brutal death metal (its own problem) and rather cool Egyptian sounding gimmicks but not really much to justify lumping them together. There's a pre-Nile band who actually do pretty much the same thing Nile do while doing much better to justify the juxtaposition.
I suspect that a key member(s) of Lykathea Aflame left the band before they became Nile and they could never quite get it down like they had before. Vocals are still meh, but they have a much greater melodic sense than Nile afaic.
