Ithyphallic

by Nile

Ithyphallic cover art

Marking their major-label debut after signing with Nuclear Blast, the ancient Egypt-obsessed metal veterans slightly streamlined their dense, labyrinthine sound. The album remains a showcase of terrifyingly fast, virtuosic musicianship and guttural ferocity, while pushing massive, memorable groove-oriented riffs further to the forefront.
