In 2007, Nile released Ithyphallic, an album packed with brutal songwriting and technical wizardry. But fans noticed something strange... the production was a step back from Annihilation of the Wicked.

What happened to the mix? Why did the guitar tone sound brittle and harsh compared to previous records?

In this video, I dive deep into the multitracks of Papyrus Containing the Spell to Preserve its Possessor Against Attacks from He Who is in the Water, yes, the actual session, provided to me directly by Karl Sanders of Nile.

With full permission, I set out to analyze, dissect, and remix the track using modern tools to show what’s possible in 2025 that wasn’t in 2007.
