8) NILE – What Should Not Be Unearthed (Nuclear Blast)

Death metallers Nile continue revving the mythological themes with this crushing new album, still ticking all the right place in a battered metalhead’s mind. 50 minutes of no frills, punishing death metal and most assuredly one of the highlights of the year.

“We told Neil that we thought the last record was way too thin, and we wanted something heavier – something along the lines of the big, heavy, crushing guitar sounds of Annihilation Of The Wicked,” Karl Sanders told BraveWords. “We actually killed ourselves to make At The Gate Of Sethu. It was not an easy record to make. It’s hard to make a death metal album when you are using an AC/DC-like clean sound. Dude, the amount of precision you have to have to make that work is just mind-boggling. This latest record was fun to make. You can hear the grooves – the heart and the soul. You can actually hear us having fun playing metal… it’s tangible.”
