Rivers Of Nihil announce new album ‘The Work’

RIVERS OF NIHIL have announced a brand new album!

Titled The Work, the upcoming album from the American progressive death metal band is the follow-up to 2018’s critically acclaimed Where Owls Know My Name and is scheduled to be released in September this year.

With guitars and synths/keys tracked at guitarist/keyboardist Brody Uttley‘s home studio, the band then we went back for the third album in a row to Carson Slovak and Grant McFarland at Atrium Audio to do drums, vocals, bass, sax, and mixing. “We’ve done so many sessions with those guys that they’re basically an extension of our band at this point. They usually know what we like, and we always encourage them to roast us to make stuff better,” says Uttley.

Alongside the band, James Dorton from BLACK CROWN INITIATE provided some vocals on Episode, Grant McFarland played cello on The Void From Which No Sound Escapes, and Uttley‘s friend Stephan Lopez helped out with all of the field recordings, an integral part of the sonic textures of the record.

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for the first song lifted from the upcoming album; Clean. The new music video was directed by Mike Truehart.
