Doesn't Nile have sort of the same schtick?

Yep, only Nile's influences are more apparent in lyrical content and
soundbytes than song structure. Karl Sanders, their main songwriter, seems
to be a fairly well-read guy in terms of ancient Egyptian and Sumerian
mythology. He writes about what he likes, and, fortunately for him, that
happens to be something differentiating the band from the death metal
rank-n-file.

Yesterday, I saw "Pull Me Under" in all its long-haired glory on
VH-1 Classic. Does this mean I'm old now?

I checked out that song that had the link posted here, and I REALLY liked it! It kicked, bigtime. I have to agree, they are more mainstream. It sounds totally like something we would hear on KROCK in NYC, so I was surprised to not have heard them before (though if their record deal is new, I guess it's not that surprising). I don't really hear the DT influence, unless in a teeny-tiny smidgen of a way near the beginning of the song (Do you call my name) with the keyboards. I'd love to hear some other samples from the upcoming CD - right now I am having some serious internet connection issues so I can't double-check the website - and if they match up to what I heard on this one song, I'll definitely be getting this CD! To sum: a very rockin' tune. Check it out :)
Cool that you got to work with them in the studio, too, Dave.

Chalk this up to yet ANOTHER interesting concert experience that I missed in recent weeks... *sigh*
