I like the cover. like a more serious and professional version of amongst the catacombs!

Morfumax · 09-15-2009, 04:45 PM

mixed in with a definite ITDS & BSoV vibe

goblin · 09-15-2009, 04:46 PM

Only Nile could even attempt to write an Egyptian-themed song about dung.

Johnny-Skinless · 09-15-2009, 04:48 PM

I like the cover. I hope its fucking brutal as hell. I thought the last one was too soft.

I was thinkign the same thing. Very serious and subtle...reminiscent of In Their Darkened Shrines.

I am worried, however, because Erik Rutan produced the drums...and we all know how that ends up sounding. (like shit)

I'm amped, though. I think Nile will do a better job this time around.

Infected · 09-15-2009, 04:59 PM

acutally quite keen to hear this...

agreed. and the vocals were way too monotonous. hopefully this time col. sanders chimes in a bit more frequently to spice things up

HarmonyInTorture · 09-15-2009, 05:11 PM

Yeah the part about Rutan producing the drums is the only thing I'm not too excited about.

quartertone · 09-15-2009, 05:13 PM

Hittite Dung Incantation, what a great title! Classy cover too.

sideslash · 09-15-2009, 05:29 PM

excited about this. hope the production is a big step up from the last one.

Rodr-Evil · 09-15-2009, 05:35 PM

Nice cover, my favorite album is still the debut anyway, I expect something similar in quality.

discombobulation · 09-15-2009, 05:39 PM

Never managed to get into Ithyphallic...hope that this one will be different both on the production front and the epicness part.

blooddrunk · 09-15-2009, 05:51 PM

im sure kollias is on top of his shit and not gonna let anyone fuck up his drum sound.

Holo · 09-15-2009, 05:56 PM

I like Ithyphallic but I hope the new one will bring some ItdS desertdust brutality!

This, and hoping the band gets back a more brutal sound.

ChAAPY · 09-15-2009, 06:37 PM

from what I understand, Kollias is much more satisfied with his drumming on this than Ithyphallic. can't wait to hear what that nut came up with for this one.

I'm expecting one massive production job too... hopefully. and more than 2-3 songs from Dallas would be nice.

doesn´t he only record analog? I like that idea.

gourmetanthropophagy · 09-15-2009, 08:03 PM

oh HELL yes!

phish · 09-15-2009, 08:07 PM

hasn't every album had a song called 'the eye of ra'

The mid-paced/doomy songs on Annihilation were AWESOME.

Arngrim · 09-15-2009, 09:17 PM

A few songs off of Ithyphallic were ok, the production absolutely killed it though. Hopefully this has a thicker, more massive sound.

LesserAnimal · 09-15-2009, 09:24 PM

Like Annihilation

Morfumax · 09-15-2009, 09:29 PM

Like ITDS

hmm.

Honestly, I think Dallas is one of if not, the best vocalist in all of modern DM right now.
