RIVERS OF NIHIL: North American Tour With Hate Eternal, Misery Index And Beyond Creation

RIVERS OF NIHIL

Pennsylvania death metal assassins, RIVERS OF NIHIL, will kick off a near month-long North American tour this evening supporting Hate Eternal. The band’s latest stretch of onstage debauchery will level twenty-four venues from October 27th through November 22nd. Additional support will be provided by Misery Index and Beyond Creation.

RIVERS OF NIHIL will be touring in support of their Monarchy full-length released this past Summer via Metal Blade Records. “This album was a big step for us as a band, but also for me personally,” said guitarist Brody Uttley upon the record’s release. “I have always been a big fan of post rock music and I wanted to write a death metal record that combined the atmospheric elements of bands like Explosions In The Sky, This Will Destroy You, If These Trees Could Talk, and Sigur Ros (to name a few) with the heaviness of death metal.”

The seasonal concept that began with Spring on the band’s crushing The Conscious Seed Of Light debut continues with Monarchy, as it welcomes the oppressive heat of Summer. The story takes place millions of years after the events in The Conscious Seed Of Light. Bassist Adam Biggs, who also serves as the band’s primary lyricist, explains: “The Earth has been transformed into a vast desert wasteland, where after aeons of lifelessness, new beings begin to take shape and begin their journey as shepherds of the planet. But after a while, a class system forms from a sun-worshiping religious dictatorship, and these beings start to lose their way. Only the guidance of an ancient earthly force can help them save themselves as well the planet.”
