    Lyrics:
    Sebek, Sochet, Suchos. Dread Lord of the Marsh. He Who Crawleth Amongst the Sacred Waters. And Devoureth the Flesh of that Which is Sacrificed unto Him. Tua Ashemu. Rekhes Au Sebek. Tua Ashemu. Tua Ashemu. Sebek, Neter, Ashemu. Whose Teeth Rendeth and Teareth With Terrible Violence. Restore the Eyes of the Dead. Collect Their Skulls. Join Their Bones Together Again. Lord of the Temple of the Mount of Sunrise. Open the Way unto the Underworld. Cause the Dead to Rise to New Life. Bring the Child Horus upon the Throne of Osiris.

    George Kollias and Nile, the Annihilation of the Wicked album in particular, was the catalyst that got me into extreme drumming. I remember when this video first appeared on the tv show Uranium. I must have been drooling when I saw his one footed blastbeats. George Kollias really changed the drumming game for me. Lots of respect to him and Nile.

    Nile are one of the few death metal bands with a lot of soul and feeling in their music

      Sorry for asking you but what strings do you use for this drop A tuning ? Thanks forward ! :)

      It's not that fast. I learned it by ear and it ain't that fast. I mean I've played guitar for 7 years so I guess it comes with experience. How long have you been playing guitar? And I actually found a way to play some Nile songs in d tuning

      im using .13's. cant really go higher than drop d thought with a zr bridge. ive been playing 9 years. speed has just never been a massive thing for me until recently. i can probably hit 80, maaaaybe 90% on this though. still cant do it at 100%

    • @SmokeCheesus
      @SmokeCheesus Před 9 lety

      Do you practice scales or cool little licks, etc?
      It really helped with my speed. I also play a lot of Death songs so my alternate picking just keeps improving.
