Background information about 'Those Whom The Gods Detest'

Nile return with a devastating reissue of their 2009 masterpiece "Those Whom The Gods Detest", and frankly, this is the kind of album that reminds you why technical death metal exists in the first place. This isn't just another brutal offering – it's a sonic archaeology expedition through ancient Egyptian mythology wrapped in some of the most punishing riffs ever committed to wax. From the opening blast of "Kafir" to the haunting instrumental passages, every moment crackles with the band's signature blend of scholarly obsession and pure metallic fury.

What sets this album apart is how Nile seamlessly weave their Egyptological expertise into crushing technical passages that would make even seasoned death metal veterans weep. The production is crisp enough to catch every intricate detail yet raw enough to maintain that essential brutality. Karl Sanders' guitar work is nothing short of phenomenal, while the rhythm section pounds with the relentless force of ancient war drums. This reissue captures every nuance of what many consider the band's finest hour.

For fans of:
Behemoth, Morbid Angel, Hate Eternal, Origin, Suffocation
