“The period from Kollias joining until Dallas left is peak and unmatched performance in death metal as a genre”
“Old Nile is peak but so is new Nile”
“I agree. But their latest effort doesn't hit like the older ones. They doesn't have the same brutality that one can find from "Amongst..." to "Ithyphallic" anymore. But of course, they still extremely technical and playing ridiculously fast, that for sure.”
“I miss the old Nile, blast beating flow Nile, chop up your soul Nile, Sanders and Koll Nile. I gotta say at that time I'd like to see Nile. See I invented Nile, wasn't just any Nile, and now I look and look and everywhere there's tech-death Niles.”
“Nile with Sanders, Dallas, Vesano and Laureano was peak.”
