Evil to Cast Out Evil- Nile Cover (LexOmega)

EVIL TO CAST OUT EVIL! Definitely one of my favorite songs. So much fun to play, and that solo...oh man.
...maybe a couple mistakes here and there but eh, I did pretty good. Some spots were a tad hard to pick out by ear. Enjoy

Female musician on KZbin playing generic metal songs and wearing slutty outfits = millions of views and praised to the sky. Female musician on KZbin with talent playing actual difficult (good in my opinion) songs and wearing whatever she normally wears = 3000 views. As a musician, metal fan and supporter of more female musicians in metal, this bothers me. But fuck that, you're really good! Keep playing and keep being badass!

[@Sabroe_ffs]

Yeah i can understand. You stop being bothered at some point i guess? Lately i'm listening to a lot of The Faceless, Cattle Decapitation, Fallujah and Necrophagist. You should try playing "Xenochrist" by The Faceless. Super fun song to play!

[@LexOmega7]

Sabroe faceless is wild haha that would be a cool song to play. Have you heard of shadows of intent or archspire? Worth checking out man

[@Sabroe_ffs]

If you end up learning it we should do a colab cover :) Nope, but i'll check them out!

[@thanatos8618]

You forgot to mention this too: "MALE musician on KZbin with talent playing actual difficult (good in my opinion) songs and wearing whatever she normally wears = 500 views."

@@LexOmega7 Update: I'm now a huge Archspire fan! Saw them a year ago. Such a good concert

[@Guardead]

Not sure how many times I've watched this.. Metal as hell!

[@alexbienert4774]

Great talent. I wish i could play that just half so good.

[@somegirl558]

[@Bova13]

Oh My GOD!!!!! And not only the rythm but the solo!! Amazing! I wish I have you in my band, you are really talented!

[@LexOmega7]

Thanks dude! Its a fun song to play but that one riff is tricky. Whats your band? Thanks for watching I appreciate it a lot

[@Bova13]

In deed, it is. Its a death-thrash band, named Bedlam. We are working now in the recordings so soon will have music for you and everybody to hear. \m/

[@LexOmega7]

Vlad Pallares ah man that's awesome please keep me updated on that, I'd like to hear it.

[@ostravia]

So delicate.

[@masmc24]

You really have nice technique, I just started to learn this song yesterday.. and that riff at 2:07 is the trickiest one, it's taking me a little more to figure it out. I just subscribe to you :) Greetings from Mexico

[@LexOmega7]

Well thank you and good luck, it was a tough one haha. That is the only riff I had to bs my way through it, i still dont play it correctly. Thanks for the sub, I'll return the favor. Thanks for watchng

[@DethReaperMoleRat]

dayum! thats pretty good. i havent got around to learning nile songs yet

[@biggoofybastard]

Good job, on a pretty intricate song. Blows my mind that Dallas could play this and sing at the same time.

[@LexOmega7]

biggoofybastard i know it! I can’t do anything but concentrate on those riffs. Meanwhile he’s playing, screaming, keeping time. Excellent musician

There's nothing in this world that impresses and attracts a man to a woman more than her shredding hardcore metal music on her guitar. It's comparable to witnessing an atomic bomb go off...lmao Good Job Girl!

[@bobbifranco3712]

You killed it!

[@LexOmega7]

Haha thank you man!

[@suzannaandrea4306]

huh that sick-love

[@EduardoGarcia-iy4jz]

wow!

[@Spetulhu]

Oh wow... Having seen Nile live a couple times, having bought the records and looked at some of their guitar lessons online just makes a cover like that more impressive if possible (to me) - they have some pretty odd tuning and setups on their guitars which also look nothing like the beatiful axe you brought. Well, let's hope they go on for a long time and that you can pick up their legacy if needed. :-)

[@LexOmega7]

Haha you're right, as far as I know nile's setup is completely different than what I've got going on. Awesome that you got to see them live dude, Ive been wanting to see em for a while. You gonna catch them on 2017 tour? And thank you btw

[@LexOmega7]

Spetulhu dude I just went and saw Nile and had a freaking blast. Got to meet Karl sanders too no joke!

[@Spetulhu]

That's awesome! I guess they had the new guitarist/vocalist there, and he did his part well if you're pleased. Sad that I've not managed to meet them, but some day... As for tours it might be a bit iffy to spot them this year - the only announced gigs in Europe so far are Wacken and some Czech festival. The local Tuska festival is looking quite stocked already (they played that in 2010) but there are clubs of suitable size and Nile did a couple such gigs here last year. Hoping for the best. ;-)

[@LexOmega7]

Spetulhu Spetulhu ah well that sucks, I hope they come tour near you sometime within the next year or so. But yea I got to meet Karl and the bassist. Did not see George anywhere though. And the new vocalist did decent, but oddly enough the bassist did more vocals than he did. Do you prefer the small venues or what?

[@Spetulhu]

Long time... Yes, for bands like Nile it's often better to see them on a small stage in a club. Or on a side stage at some festival, which is how I saw Nile at the Tuska Festival back in 2010. Very few death metal bands can handle a really big stage, not because they're bad at performing but because they just can't get the sound right. You need some really good sound guys to run a large stage. One exception would be the now sadly defunct Bolt Thrower from the UK, one of my first and most favorite performers of that sort. They're nowhere near as technical or fast as Nile, but their slow grinding style does have a charm of it's own. But ofc they might really have had one of the best sound engineers in the business on their side,.

[@Muchowski_B]

very nice cover!

[@bigtxgravy7011]

Glorious !!

[@1129buttons]

Awesome:) How did you figure out how to play this? I can only find 7 string tabs for it, which is weird because they play 6 strings on stage

[@LexOmega7]

I honestly found some guy’s tabs online, and then some of it that didn’t sound right (in my opinion) I tried picking out by ear. Honestly it doesn’t utilize the bottom string all that much until the solo, so just move up with your frets on that part rather than using that 7th string.

[@suzannaandrea4306]

loving this - fri 21-Merry Christmas

[@Ygodeh]

Мне лично из их последнего альбома эта вещь тоже как-то больше всего в душу запала (и ещё их opus magnum "To Walk Forth From the Fire Unscathed"). Именно из-за соляка, он просто уносит слушателя куда-то в инфернальные бездны Юготта и Рльеха. Ты проделала красивую работу, базара нет - "Ранетки" коллективно срутся раскалённой лавой. Было бы замечательно, если бы ты ещё что-нибудь из "морбидов" кавернула, желательно периода "Formulas.." и "Gateways", где у Азагтота самые изъёбистые и непостижимые непросвящённым умам соляки.

[@StromboliKicks]

so... if I start today how many years do I need until I play this? :D

[@suzannaandrea4306]

Isnt this flawless

[@Depurity]

This solo always makes me cry...can not figure out why other than pure brutality and beauty in one place is overwhelming. Is this drop A tuning?

[@LexOmega7]

It gives me chills man. One of those that just appeals to the feels

[@ostravia]

Your ear was fine and half a note off. We are a UK Death metal band, ace performance and keep it going. We appreciate what you do and we are going for Moonlight Sonate 3rd - nearly got it. We will post of whom we are and of whence done; my lady.

[@LexOmega7]

Awesome, keep me posted and updated then. I am sure that’s a difficult one to play. This cover was from ages ago

[@LexOmega7]

Justin Schrank nah not bad dude. You're a good guitarist

[@mortencarnager84]

some kind of montage, not sure if it's even played correctly

[@LexOmega7]

Morten Carnager only part that could be considered a "montage" is the riff before the main riff/solo, which I openly admit to screwing up. Hence the two separate clips. Rest of it outta be correct other than a bit here or there. Big Nile fan and I'm not about to deliberately screw it up. But yea sure, you show me how it's played then bud

[@donfillinger3571]

What is the point of these kinds of riffs? They're all crammed together and barely audible. Simple riffs being disguised as technical work with shitty distortion and shear speed. I think this is why I've never liked Nile. All gimmicks.

[@LexOmega7]

Ask Karl sanders
