Rivers of Nihil - American Death (Official Video)

We figured it was finally time to write a song with that title, and given the subject matter of the lyrics, it would only make sense for this song to be a true ass beater. It’s definitely the most true form ‘heavy’ song of these singles, so we are very much looking forward to playing it live.” - Brody Uttley Sixteen years and five albums into the Pennsylvania band’s career, RIVERS OF NIHIL is upping the ante with "Rivers Of Nihil." Traditionally, a self-titled record can signal a return to basics and/or a fresh beginning, and in ten powerful songs, it’s clear that both those factors are in play. Founding bassist Adam Biggs became the band’s new lead vocalist/bassist in 2023; the same year marked the appearance of additional guitarist Andy Thomas (ex-Black Crown Initiate), whose vocals also play prominently on Rivers Of Nihil. Producers Carson Slovak and Grant McFarland at Atrium Audio captured the new dynamics across more than fifty minutes of music. Rivers Of Nihil also showcases additional musicians, including Patrick Corona on alto saxophone, Stephan Lopez on banjo, McFarland on cello, and a slate of other guest vocalists. Despite the fresh approach on Rivers Of Nihil however, the album still fits neatly into the band’s discography. With Where Owls Know My Name (2018), RIVERS OF NIHIL transcended all labels applied to them, and with its 2021 follow-up, The Work, they forged further into new territory with Metal Injection calling the latter album “the group’s most cohesive, ambitious, meditative, and varied effort, with greater uses of philosophical significance and transcendental respites.” RIVERS OF NIHIL is: Adam Biggs: Vocals, Bass Brody Uttley: Guitar Jared Klein: Vocals, Drums Andy Thomas: Vocals, Guitar Directed by: Matthew Marcellus Produced by: Three Hive Studios https://www.threehive.com/ Subscribe: @threehive Cinematography & Editing by: Rich Abraham Lighting Director: Matthew Marcellus Special FX: Adam Serrano Location: Three Hive Studios
