Actually, that's a good review. Great review in fact. But I was distracted by the "scanners.gif" part. lol

Only posting it here since I'm pretty sure BastardHead looks at this thread. Good thing reviews can be edited, aye?

Does calling this "speed/death metal" qualify as factual inaccuracy?

NILE - Black Seeds Of Vengeance (Relapse ~2000)
"Holy Shit !!!! This album is INCREDIBLE !! This makes "Amongst The Catacombs Of Nephra Ka" look like a collection of love songs (and I LOVE that one !!!). The production is excellent as well as the music itself. The songs are assembled in such a way that when you least expect it they cascade down into a furious bout of low tuned, speedy riffing and fast vomity vocals. The brutality level is a ten out of ten. An interesting aspect of the opening track is that they utilize an instrument called an Argoul, an oboe made out of reeds. That adds a uniqueness along with many other "sounds" the band interlace between the brutal vocals and riffing. I wouldn't even know where to begin as far as the lyrics are concerned. They are astounding and quite unusual for death metal bands. They derive lyrical inspiration from old cuneiform tablets and Egyptian Literature. You've got to pick up this album if you like your Death Metal brutal and the Egyptian theme is a definite plus in my book since the subject matter interests me.

The songs are assembled in such a way that when you least expect it they cascade down into a furious bout of low tuned, speedy riffing and fast vomity vocals. The brutality...the band interlace between the brutal vocals and riffing...You've got to pick up this album if you like your Death Metal brutal and the Egyptian theme is a definite plus in my book since the subject matter.

Disgorge has produced some of the world’s sickest shit to date. This debut release is mega-fucking-pig sick! The album starts with supreme guttural sickness in the track “Deranged Epidemic” thanks to vocal gore-lord Matti Way. And this album not only offers 100% sheer sickness but also fast-paced technical brutality that will keep you banging.

Maybe this sickness will take time to get used for first-comers to the world of Death Metal/DeathGrind but I absolutely suggest you get your ears impaled well to your speakers because this is some real great Death! The drummer really nails it down well, the guitars are real sick in everything; be it fast picking, sick n’ slow power chord riffs and pinching. The vocals, as already stated, are seriously the sickest I have ever heard to date! This is one fucking PIG! Also note the mini bass soloing during the songs. All the songs are as sick as they can but and definitely check out songs like “Cognitive Lust of Mutilation”, “Atonement” and “Cranial Impalement”.

Note that the songs have different sound qualities and if I’m not mistaken it’s because some of them (the last four tracks) were recorded for the 1995 demo tape and the rest were recorded in 96. As I said: Start listening to Disgorge and buy this album! Sound production is good especially on the first 4 tracks. There are no lyrics in the inlay sheet and that is missed as I’d have loved to read what brutality was penned down.

Also note the mini bass soloing

"Windir" apparently means "warrior" in the Sognamal dialect. But Wiindir the band is the farthest thing from a warrior ... While Arntor is still offensive, the offense is dealt with such a weak force. As a result, the predominant feeling toward this record is contempt, rather than hate.

Roughly half of the adjectives in this review are "sick".

Man, that DSO review is shit. Spends most of the time talking about how the band is really Christian because they talk about anti-Christian sentiments...it's a joke, and totally overblown as well.

OzzyApu, his complaints on the production do seem unfounded. However, it's the only negative one. The rest are all above 90%, half of them 100%. His complaints on the album's sugariness are justified, anyway. Not oven fodder, not one bit.

I'd nuke it if I could erase it for being totally stupid and insolent. It's easily the dumbest review on the site. I remember Kruel's diatribes about Dissection's Storm of the Light's Bane....how people that enjoyed it really didn't enjoy it because it wasn't a sentimental black metal album or something. God what a fucking retard.
