Really?

I love mythology, and I love songs about history! they have stuff in their page I can listen to?

Or can u give some?
Nile suck. It's all blast beats and 'lets see how fast I can tunelessly thrash this guitar' with lots of "roff roff roff" vocals. It doesn't matter whether it's based on mythology or not. You can't make out a damn word they're saying. Apparantly though it's worth buying just for the sleeve notes, which explain the songs and the ideas behind them, so if you're into mythology that'd be really interesting. Try the albums 'Black Seeds of Vengeance' (which is probably their best known album/song).

Paulo, you obviously don't like death metal. It's like someone who hates power metal saying that Stratovarius suck, because they sound like power metal.

Death metal is an aquired taste, I admit. I used to really hate it, but now I really enjoy it.

And by your second sentence, you make it obvious that you've never actually properly listened to any of their stuff. They have a vast range of dynamics. Sure, the death vocals may not be to everyones liking, but you get used to it.

Please don't diss what you already don't like. Respect other peoples tastes. It would be like me saying how much a specific Rap artist sucks, well of course I'd think that, I hate rap. But I never say that, since I'm not in a position to judge.

:oops: Sorry Neon. I'm normally good at not doing that sort of thing. The strange thing is that I don't actually dislike Nile, it's more that I just don't get it.

I have heard quite a lot of it though. One of my mates likes them and owns a couple of their albums (which makes up about 50% of his collection :lol: ) and I've even seen them live. To me though it seemed very random, I can't pick out anything in it. Some of the faces they pulled were hilarious.

Sorry again. Credit where credit's due: at least they're better than Mortician.

INHUMAN RAMPAGE - BRAND NEW DRAGONFORCE ALBUM

Following a hugely successful summer and autumn, during which the 18 month campaign in support of their Sonic Firestorm album has seen them wowing festival crowds around Europe before returning to the UK to play yet another sell out tour, London based metallists DRAGONFORCE have just completed work on their eagerly anticipated third album.

Inhuman Rampage contains eight brand new songs and will be released on 9th January 2006. The album recording sessions were made at Thin Ice Studios in Virginia Water (Surrey) and guitarist Herman Li's own studio in West London between April and September, while production duties were shared between Li, fellow axeman Sam Totman and keyboard player Vadim Pruzhanov.

When asked to comment on the new album, Li stated:
“On the new album we have come up with the ultimate formula that has never been done before. Combining intensity, chaos and melody, with all the DragonForce trademarks plus some more. For us, this is the next evolution in DragonForce's sound. I have never heard an album sounding like ‘Inhuman Rampage'....the title says it all! It's seriously gonna blow some heads off around the world next year.”

The full tracklisting of Inhuman Rampage is as follows:-
1. Through the Fire and Flames
2. Revolution Deathsquad
3. Storming the Burning Fields
4. Operation Ground and Pound
5. Body Breakdown
6. Cry for Eternity
7. The Flame of Youth
8. Trail of Broken Hearts

Slower DF songs are Evening Star, Once In A Lifetime, but they're not really slow... best ballad ever is:
