Quick question! What do Nile and Hall & Oates have in common? If you said that they both feature a core duo of a blond dude who only looks somewhat attractive when compared to his creepy as fuck counter part (see here, and here) you’re close (not really) but no where close to the mark.

After getting my head cleaved in half and my testicles ripped off by Nile’s latest Titan of an album called Those Whom The Gods Detest I quickly did all I could to look up the producer of such an amazing album. I was under the impression that it was Erik Rutan of Hate Eternal because I remember reading that he was working on the album. Turns out he only recorded the drums (which he did a great job on). The actual producer for this death metal epic was one Neil Kernon, better known during the 80’s as the producer of Voices, Private Eyes, AND MOTHERFUCKING H20.

The man who gave the world “I Can’t Go For That (No Can Do)” and “Maneater” is the same man who has given unto us, the people of the world, some of Nile’s BEST work including “Permitting the Noble Dead to Descend to the Underworld” and “Iskander D’hul Kharnon”.

I raise a hollowed out skull in the name of Neil Kernon: a man who now serves as a convenient connector for an incredibly specific game of 6-Degrees of Separation.

Next challenge is to connect Suffocation to Meatloaf. I’m pretty sure if you tried hard enough you could find one (or a series of six). Anyone?

Provoking the Disturbed - Suffocation (Blood Oath. Nuclear Blast Records, 2009)

I just picked up Blood Oath this weekend and right now — after a weekend of techno pop, club beats, and conference key note speakers who don’t understand the internet — this album is like a warm and fuzzy blood drenched and disembowelifying blanket for my brain. It feels so good. So good.

None So Vile. From a time when bands like Cryptopsy would dissent from the shallow shit stain of metal mediocrity, rather than adding to it.

Slit Your Guts - Cryptopsy (None So Vile. Regain Records, 1996)

One of my proudest moments at The Cobalt (RIP) was when I got in a yelling match with Matt McGachy (on stage at the time) which came to its apex with the statement “Your asshole must be sore from shitting out a turd large enough to name it The Unspoken King.”

I then almost got into a fight outside with someone who tried to argue that new Cryptopsy was better than old Cryptopsy. That man was devoured by a crowd of actual Metalheads. HA! No, not really, he walked away after we had a quick chat in which he called me a faggot and I made him realize that I had a good 40 lbs on his skinny ass.
