Nile - Ithyphallic

Ithyphallic - Definition: Having an erect penis. So this album might give you good wood.

Okay, so i checked out the origin for the name of this album and it refers to the word phallus, and something that symbolizes a phallus is often phallic. In Ancient Egyptian mythology, Min the god of fertility, was depicted in an Ithyphallic fashion. With a hard-on in one hand and a flail in the other, this god was definitely hard at work.
 
This album starts off with some impressive technical riffs and blends with some 70's rock styles, egyptian inspired. One of my favourites by Nile.
