Nile

[Satyr]

Valt me niet tegen. Zolang ze het gas erop houden vind ik het prima.

Huh?

Nile have parted ways with guitarist Dallas Toler-Wade, who played on all of the band’s album save for their 1998 debut, Amongst the Catacombs of Nephren-Ka. According to a statement on the band’s Facebook page, Toler-Wade “has decided to leave the band to focus on his own plans and recordings.” There’s no indication that the split was unamicable.

Furthermore, the band have already announced Toler-Wade’s replacement: Brian Kingsland from Enthean. Don’t feel bad if you’ve never heard of Enthean — they released their first album last year.

Says Karl Sanders of the switch:

“I would like to personally thank Dallas Toler Wade for his many years with the band, and sincerely wish him well with his music.

“All of us in Nile are truly happy and thankful to be working with Brian. Not only is he a seriously talented Extreme Metal Guitar Shredder, but he has a great Brutal Metal voice , with a very versatile range . Brian is also a genuine , down-to-earth hard -working and motivated guy who has helped reignite and re-establish a sense of team work back into Nile. With the addition of Brian on guitar and vocals, The band right now seems to me a lot more like the early years of Nile- the Classic Nile era when we were all functioning as a cohesive unit , in viciously brutal Triple Vocal attack mode . The mood in the Nile rehearsal room for the last 3 months has been focused and relaxed ; with 4 positive, energized, hard working people all on the same Metal page. We simply can’t wait to share what we have been working on with Metal Fans on the upcoming Overkill Tour. Between the addition of Brian , and Bassist / Vocalist Brad Parris now in his 2nd year in the band , this line-up is going to Crush Skulls. Seriously, the last time I felt this strongly about a Nile Line-up – was when George Kollias joined the band.”

Vrij onverwacht nieuws dit.

Uitgerekend las ik het toen ik Nile aan het beluisteren was...

Jammer, was een erg goede zanger die goed bij Nile paste.

Was eigenlijk geen fan meer van zijn high-pitched vocals op de laatste albums. Maar qua frontman en gitarist toch wel een behoorlijk verlies, al is Karl er nog uiteraard.

[Wessel]

Maar Karl fungeert meer als muzikale ruggegraat, dan dat het een overtuigende frontman is.

Toch wel opmerkelijk. Karl is misschien wel het muzikale brein achter Nile, maar denk dat Dallas toch ook wel belangrijk was met zijn zang en gitaarwerk. Hij nam ook veel van de grunts voor zijn rekening ja. Maar goed we gaan zien hoe het uitpakt.

Nieuw nummer:

Vile Nilotic Rites out now, valt bepaald niet tegen. Volgde ze eigenlijk al járen niet meer en luisterde vooral naar Black Seeds of Vengeance, maar op dit nieuwe album hebben ze het vuur echt weer gevonden zo lijkt het.

Ja vind t best wel oké ja.
