NileWhat Should Not Be Unearthed

Estimated reading time: 2 minute(s)

★★☆☆ Yep, this is a Nile album alright: disgusting, blisteringly fast, sloppily technical, and drummer George Kollias’s legs must be on crack. It’s also highly disjointed, even for Nile, and feels like a haphazard collection of miscellaneous riffs and moments. Sometimes, you luck out and get a harrowing moment of the abyss looking into you. Other times, you get what feels like a neo-death metal version of a Nigel Tufnel guitar solo.
