On Thursday, we’ll post the world premiere of the new Nile video for the ridiculously titled but face-shredding song “Papyrus Containing the Spell to Preserve its Possessor From Attacks Against he Who is in the Water.” But right now, we have another exclusive for y’all — a Nile “Making the Video” clip shot specifically for the Headbangers Ball Blog.
Before you watch it, read what frontman Karl Sanders told Revolver about the song: “When I saw this in an obscure chapter of The Book of the Dead, I was like, ‘Jesus Christ, that’s a cool song title.’ The original title was twice as long. It’s an ancient Egyptian spell for protection against crocodiles when they attack the boat. I laughed because I pictured this crocodile attacking, and this poor guy has to rifle through his stuff, find the right chapter in his papyrus and start saying the spell. No way! He’d be croc bait by then.”
Now here’s “The Making of “Papyrus Containing the Spell to Preserve its Possessor From Attacks Against he Who is in the Water.”
Auri, you suck my unwashed balls.
This video rules.
Auri is a fool. I think the video is the most Egyptian video the band has to date. Sacrifice was a typical metal video in a hangar somewhere and let’s not talk about Sarcophagus. Did you ever stop to think that the band maybe wanted this video and maybe you are just too simple-minded to get it?
As far as the band not needing a video, what else could you #?$%$ about if there was no video for you to blog on?
This ‘making of’ video is great. I like being able to see the crocodiles and Dallas, Karl and George behind the scenes and stuff, but the actual music video; which I just watched before this, really sucked ass. I think the director sorta missed the point with what the image of Nile truly is, Sacrifice was a much better clip in regards to showing the band perform, this one seems to be all over the place. It could’ve been very cool!!! But was totally screwed up, I really hope there’s another music video for the album directed by someone else. Nile is the greatest metal act of all time so they don’t need music videos anyway!
Nile Is AMAZING!
Hail!
