"Combining the extreme speed and nihilism of modern

death metal with the ancient styling of Middle Eastern

music, Nile formed in their hometown of Greensberg,

SC, in 1993. With their self-proclaimed trademark of

"Ithyphallic Metal," Karl Sanders (guitar/vocals),

Chief Spires (bass/vocals), and Pete Hammoura (drums)

debuted with their Festivals of Atonement album in

1995, leading Nile to a southwestern tour in support

of other big metal acts such as Obituary, Deicide and

Broken Hope. Viscera Productions was responsible for

Nile's follow-up EP Ramses Bringer of War in 1997 and

was going to release their second album Amongst the

Catacombs of Nephren-Ka — that is, if they hadn't gone

out of business later that year. However, Relapse

Records was more than happy to put it out in early

1998, giving Nile a wider distribution and a chance

to hit the road with Incantation and Morbid Angel.

The follow-up, Black Seeds of Vengeance, was released

in late 2000. A collection of remastered, hard to find

recordings, In the Beginning was released later the

same year. By 2002, the highly anticipated In Their

Darkened Shrines was dropped and the buzz around it

led to mainstream coverage the band had never

experienced before." (from allmusic.com)

Here's a single track from another album I'm collecting. You

might want to listen to this first, before downloading a whole

album. It's a good example of their music (Ramses - Bringer of

War, 3.38MB):

I'll post the remaining album "In The Beginning" when I have all the tracks.
