Nile are a band from South Carolina that is more known for their brutal style Egyptian death metal but started out as a more thrash/groove metal band with a death metal edge but still had the Egyptian theme lyrics on this recording and this is a review of their 1994 demo "Worship The Animal" which was re-issued by Goomba Music in 2011.
Drums range from slow to midpaced drumming with not much in the way of fast playing or blast beats, while the bass playing has a very strong and powerful tone with riffing that dominate throughout the recording.
Rhythm guitars range from slow to midpaced riffing that is mostly thrash/groove metal riffs that utilize some death metal influences while the lead guitars are very meldoic sounding extreme metal guitar solos and leads.
Vocals range from groove metal type singing to some deep death metal growls, while the lyrics toucch on Egyptian themes, as for the production it has a very heavy and professional sound to it. and you can hear all of the musical instruments that are present on this recording.
In my opinion while I prefer Nile's later albums over this demo, I think it is decent for what it is but not really something I would listen to on a regular basis, but it is good that they where writing Egyptian themes which made the music better and more tolerable, but if you are a fan of groove metal you might enjoy this recording. RECEMMONDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Worship The Animal' and "Nepenthe".
