Over 15 years and half a dozen albums into their careers, Pennsylvania’s Rivers of Nihil<\/strong> \u2013 Metal Injection<\/em>‘s Artist Of The Month<\/a> \u2013 are far from done with their progy tech death sorcery on their long-awaited self-titled record.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

An amalgam of the changes that have brought the band to present day, Rivers of Nihil<\/em> \u2013 available May 30 through Metal Blade<\/a> \u2013 is hard, heavy and overwhelmingly epic in its scale and scope, a testament to the maturation of founding members Brody Uttley<\/strong> and Adam Biggs<\/strong>, drummer Jared Klein<\/strong> and rhythm guitarist Andy Thomas<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Uttley<\/strong> sat down with Metal Injection<\/em> for a deep dive into the band’s discography, breaking down major thoughts, themes and insights into each of the five Rivers of Nihil<\/strong> records.<\/p>\n

The Conscious Seed Of Light<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Yeah, I think that record, the first record, The Conscious Seed of Light,<\/em> I think that was kind of just us trying to figure out what kind of band we wanted to be. A lot of the songs that ended up being on that record had parts on it that were written before Rivers of Nihil<\/strong> even existed. Like it was stuff that was written in 2007 in our old bands and stuff. And kind of just like piled everything that we had ever written as a band together to come up with those 10 songs that are on that record. We had only really done eps up until that point, so it was like what, 10 songs, that’s insane. It seemed like an insane chore to us at the time, so a lot of the stuff that’s on that record, some of it was written pretty close to the time that it was recorded and that other stuff was written five or six years beforehand.<\/span><\/p>\n
