Though lacking technical ability Nile soon became known for an entertaining and fun stage show including but not limited to: Sacrificing a rubber goat names Jefferson to Tlazticon the god of two dollar shops, channeling the ghost of Charlie Chaplin, prank calling the pope and ascending to demon prince form. Such antics became a hit in Greenway and soon news of Nile's performances spread right across South Carolina, being the only United States province to list its official religion as satanism, a good portion of the satanist population of America was based there and formed a large portion of Niles audience demographic.
Festivals of atonement[edit]
Niles debut album featured 7 songs and is testament to their early sound. The slowed down, simple riffs Nile are famous for are very present in this recording, in terms of its complexity there is no song on this album a baby couldn't play. However despite the mind numbing simplicity of their music Festivals was well received in the metal community, the third track Spawn of the super eternal blood corpse suffering due to a rather painful decision involving dark gods, 3.5 kilos of cheese and the diggy diggy doctor is listed by technical death metal drummer lars ulrich as one of his "All time favorite tunes, man". Other notable tracks include,Satanic journey through a really cold forest at 8:37 p.m on a saturday, blood glorious blood and It don't mean a thing (if it aint got that sin).
