Reception
Andy Kellman of Allmusic describes "The Nile Song" as "one of the heaviest songs the band recorded". The chord progression is a series of modulations, beginning at A, and then rising a whole step with each repeat, cycling through six different keys, returning to the starting point of A, and continuing the pattern as the song fades out.
