There are more fascinating ancient cultures to have walked and shaped the face of the earth than the old Egyptians that fascinate Nile so much, but it is not their lyrics that once made Black Seeds of Vengeance my most sought-after (and still favourite) release in the genre. It is the way this obsession is featured in the music itself - the "ceremonial" passages that dot the album here and there, with authentic instruments, chants, and an overall magical atmosphere. I am talking about such tracks as To Dream of Ur and the second half of Masturbating the War God, where beautiful serpentine soloes are delivered to blasts in the 240-bpm register and backed by culture-specific atmospherics that gradually gain in darkness and mystery, and then BANG- you've been impaled on the phallus of the God of fucking War.
