Rivers Of Nihil release new music video for ‘Focus’

RIVERS OF NIHIL have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Focus, is taken from the American progressive death metal band’s upcoming new album, The Work, which is scheduled to be released in September this year. The new music video was directed by David Brodsky.

Speaking about the new song and its accompanying music video, guitarist/keyboardist Brody Uttley says, “for the Focus video, we once again recruited Mr. David Brodsky, Allie Woest and the team at MyGoodEye. This video tells the story of an individual in a fractured state of mind confronting the darkest parts of his inner self and battling with a physical manifestation of his deepest fears and concerns; the worst parts of himself. This manifestation represents the presence in all of our heads that tries to pull us down into the throes of self-destructive behavior and patterns of thinking. The creature that he is interacting with becomes more apparent as the video progresses (with the main character slipping deeper into psychosis) until the end when he loses his battle and is plunged down into the blackness once and for all; existing permanently in the prison that his delusions have constructed for him…Perhaps finally at peace, or just as likely: never again at peace.”

The Work is set for release on September 24th via Metal Blade Records. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here. The band will support THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER on their North American tour this September/October.
