NILE - "Sarcophagus" (Official Music Video)

[@WorldWar3]

This one of the most devestating songs ever, even though it's one of Nile's slowest. The ending is basicly the soundtrack to the end of the world. Incredible

[@kneestothechin]

They somehow made a brutal video about egyptians that felt authentic without anything egyptian in the video whatsoever

[@jackrowe9695]

Saw them live during this album! Best night of my life. Autographed T-shirt and hang out with the band while everyone else was inside watching Behemoth! Epic Fn night!

[@mleni12]

Best Nile is the slow Nile.....

[@NAT-turners-Revenge]

@@mleni12 exactly 😅.... its no Mystery

[@sdjmacdiaz]

Hell yea Sarcophagus and To Dream of Ur are two of my favorite Nile songs. Slow and entrancing and heavier than time!

[@hvrjstn]

One of the best death metal tracks ever devised by mortals.

[@deathdoomdarkness6124]

You imply Nile are merely mortal...

[@dante666jt]

Yes agreeable

[@anthonylongo1465]

It was actually devised by a Pharaoh-God. Nile just channeled it

[@sharkboi4265]

To the people commenting on the skin colours of the people in the video, I hope you haven't forgotten how diverse Ancient Egypt (mainly Ptolemaic) was. It was a mix of ethnicities consisting of the original Egyptians and also Roman infantry stationed because of Caesar and Cleopatra's union such as the Gabiniani. Also, interracial marriages were not uncommon. Sometimes this mixture of cultures resulted in the birth of Gods that were parallel in each faith's idea of belief. There was even a brother of Hades allegedly that was born with the head of a jackal, as with Anubis.

[@TheAintgotnoGarage]

Crushing tone. That's the kind of distortion that cracks ribs.

[@harvesterofsorrow111]

This seems to me to be Nile's God Of Emptiness, epic song and a nice change of pace from the other stuff. Love it when Death Metal bands do this. Just shows the level of songwriting and musicianship that they achieve.

[@sleepforever8378]

Yes but its also nice for them to be consistent as well

[@xxLonniExx]

I wish they did more of this kind of stuff!

I can't even stress how awesome Nile is as a band and as people...generous souls.

[@chongyvevo]

This is Nile's 'Voice Of The Soul'

[@payton9696]

One of the greatest death metal songs.

4:24 - that ride stuff is just incredible

[@acidrain812]

Especially since his second ride is a sawblade lol. Can’t afford or (most likely) doesn’t want to handle 2 full sized rides, so you gotta make due

[@TheMetalAllfather]

The single most Titanic sized riff possible. As giant as The Great Pyramid itself!

[@krokodilejaw5431]

One of their best songs. That ending is fucking epic.

[@Impaler1184]

The final part should never end

[@stuinchains]

I've been listening to Death Metal for a while but never given Nile a go this is my 1st time, I'm impressed

[@richmondyayarea]

Glad you like them, I really suggest you give all of their albums a listen. They're really good. The first ones you should check out though are: 1. Those Who The Gods Detest 2. In Their Darkened Shrines 3. Black Seeds of Vengeance

[@SmokeCheesus]

***** And At The Gates of Sethu and Annhilation of the Wicked. Those 2 albums kickass. Those are the 2 that I started with.

[@nowimhigh]

I started with Black Seeds of Vengence when that first came out so that one will always kick ass. But I love From Who the Gods Detest. and Annihilation of the wicked

[@shahinsearchforeverything6520]

we we sacrifice you unto sebek

[@Mozoku]

The riff is so heavy yet slow pace at the same time. This song is so majestic. Hail nile! :D

[@dereksmallsuk]

Such a sad song. Like a ballad of death metal from Nile. Excellent stuff

the intro is really dark and mystic

[@nr655321]

Damn, what a feast of sounds!

[@nr655321]

I pity people who claim to appreciate good music but don't get extreme metal. They are missing A LOT. Not only the actual music, but also all these outstanding artists who sacrifice so much for their art. Honestly, these days where else but in extreme metal can one see such integrity, modesty and dedication?

[@dante666jt]

So true.

The heavy rolling underline in that song is just frighteningly solid. It just keeps rolling on an on, all over you and pounds you into the sands of the Egyptian deserts.
