Rivers Of Nihil Unveils 'House Of Light': A New Era for the Progressive Tech-Death Outfit
Progressive tech-death outfit Rivers Of Nihil has unveiled their latest single, House Of Light. The accompanying music video, directed by David Brodsky (Cattle Decapitation, The Black Dahlia Murder), has also premiered online.
Guitarist Brody Uttley shared his thoughts on the upcoming album: I feel like these songs are the perfect blend of all our albums, with all the fat cut away. There are more technical songs that call back to The Conscious Seed Of Light and Monarchy sound, but with a more mature understanding of how to pace a song. Theres a fair bit of the Where Owls Know My Name and The Work-type experimental stuff, but with a more refreshed perspective on those styles for the current era of the band.
House Of Light encapsulates the nature of what it is that we do perfectly while offering a different perspective on the sound with the new lineup. Everything that our fans have come to love about our sound is demonstrated in this song with the new addition of Andy [Thomas, guitarist] singing and [bassist Adam] Biggs on main vocals. It has the riffs, it has the big chorus, it has the prog, it has the solos, it has the sax. Just a real classic example of what we do as a band in 2025.
The upcoming album, titled Rivers Of Nihil, is set to arrive on May 30th via Metal Blade Records. The album tracklist has been revealed, with fan favorites including House Of Light alongside three previously unreleased tracks.
Rivers Of Nihil will embark on a world tour in support of the album, featuring special guests Holy Fawn, Inter Arma, and Glacial Tomb. Dates can be found below:
