The most melodic NILE album to date. Songs like 'User Maat-Re' and 'Lashed to the slave stick' are heaven sent. Technical Death Metal in perfection.

This is Nile's best album yet imo. The guitarsound is superb, the overall song variety is good and it is not as repetitive as the rest of the band's other albums. Highly recommend to people to are interested in brutal and technical death metal. Take note that this band uses a lot of middle-eastern musical influences as well...

Annihilation of the Wicked...a fitting title for such an amazingly technical and heavy album. From start to finish the album makes you feel like you are being bluguned in the head while building the pyramids of Eygpt. The blast beats are plentiful, and the thrash influenced riffs are present on every song. The eygptian influence (as though I needed to say this) is around and present more than ever. Brutal, technical death metal the way it should be...that's what AotW is.

Brutal death metal is very boring in my personal opinion, everything is so mind numbing constantly blast beats constant trem pick or guitar wankery with little to no structure to latch onto. Theres no sense of "this is the chorus" or "this is the verse", lacks any kind of dynamic sensibilities that I look for within the other genres of the desth metal umbrella.

I don't get the hype - this album is too... idk... incoherent, inconsistent and too... "busy" for my tastes... so much is happening at the same time... and yet none of any of it makes any sense (unlike Cryptopsy's None So Vile - a similarly "crazy" record, but there is a method to that craziness - there is none here) - It feels like this album is trying too hard and trying to say too much etc. Could be for others to like. Not my jamr(But PERHAPS i am naive --- relisten the album after checking out the other Nile albums i guess)

Possibly the most technical album ever made. This record alone seems to have more notes than many bands' entire discography. But as with any case of "over-technicality", it seems to sacrifice structure, direction, and memorability for the sake of just that. So while it is impressive, it manages to be forgettable.

You'll be interested to know that this record is indeed heavier than Karl Sanders.

"Annihilation of the Wicked" is the greatest technical achievement in the history of Death Metal. The incredible abundance of riffs and blast beats, allied with the incredible sound quality and technique of all members, transform not only the disc but also the band as a unique piece in music. Even so, some aspects such as the Egyptian theme become saturated and difficult to listen to the end. But it's sure to say, that this is definitely the best work of the band.

This is a truly epic, brutal mind bending affair. Its insanely technical but at the same time its not just obsessive wankery, Look at songs like User Maat Re or the title track and tell me there isn't a little bit of song craft that goes into it, not to mention this album contains some of the heaviest grooviest riffs in death metal right along side the technical solos. Best songs: Cast Down the Heretic, User Maat Re, and Annihilation of the Wicked.

This might be the most epic album ever. Between the complex and interesting song structures and the incredible depth of sound at which Nile are masters, there's something here on every listen. The riffs are diverse and perfect and the drumming is as fast as it gets.

their technality and sheer brutality is amazing, unfortnately about half the album is god damn boring, although the first 2 songs kick ass, and PLEASE FGS DONT DO LONG SONGS BECAUSE THEY ARE BORING ME TO DEATH.

Bring back the goddamn glory days. If this is the future of death metal, then draw the shades, close your eyes, turn up the fucking Mortician, and try to not become suicidal from the nostalgia. A flurry steroided blastbeats and furious chording makes for an energetic listen, but the bloated songwriting quickly overrides any quality the album could've possessed. The egyptian melodies are a novelty that's already worn to the bone, and they add about to the music as the aggregate length of the member's of Nile's penises. That's to say that they add very little. It's all right, I suppose, but nowhere near worthy of a 4.2 average rating.

I rated this a five pretty well because of it's techinical ability. Have you heard the drums, especially on 'Cast Down The Heretic', absolutely insane.
