Rivers of Nihil "Rain Eater" (OFFICIAL)

Rivers of Nihil | Rain Eater | The Conscious Seed of Light

Rivers of Nihil yo!

Rivers of Nihil have posted a brand new performance demonstration video for "Rain Eater" from "The Conscious Seed of Light." The track, which has quickly become a fan favorite, is among songs that can be heard live this fall as the band performs a series of headlining shows, plus NJ Deathfest on their way to join Dying Fetus for a week of shows through the Midwest/east coast. Watch guitarists Brody Uttley and Jon Kunz, as well as bassist Adam Biggs and drummer Ron Nelson play "Rain Eater" now at metalblade.com/riversofnihil. Rivers of Nihil's debut album, "The Conscious Seed of Light," was released yesterday throughout North America and was recorded in March of 2013 at Mana Recording Studios in Florida with famed metal producer/musician Erik Rutan. While "The Conscious Seed of Light" is not necessarily a concept album traditionally speaking, Rivers of Nihil began this project with the idea that they would release four separate albums tied together with one common theme: each reflecting a particular season of a year. Bassist Adam Biggs elaborates; "The Conscious Seed of Light is intended to be representative of spring and explores various themes concerning new beginnings, growth, and an attachment to the natural world in a post-human Earth. Unlike some concept records however, we wanted to allow each song to work on its own terms. Rather than have the songs rely on each other to move a specific story structure forward; they work within their own separate narratives, but ultimately serve the album's broader concept."

Watch this clip now at metalblade.com/riversofnihil, where fans can also listen to "Rain Eater" and pre-order copies of "The Conscious Seed of Light." Rivers of Nihil have added to their already busy Fall touring schedule. In October, fans will be able to see Rivers of Nihil touring with Beneath the Massacre, Rings of Saturn, and Legion throughout the east coast. Confirmed dates can be seen below, as well as at facebook.com/riversofnihil. "The Conscious Seed of Light," will be released on October 15th in North America and October 11th/14th in Europe/UK via Metal Blade Records. The album was recorded in March of 2013 at Mana Recording Studios in Florida with famed metal producer/musician Erik Rutan. Guitarist Brody Uttley said, "Working with Erik was a true privilege. Coming from the DIY circuit and immediately recording with one of greatest death metal producers of all time pushed us all more than we ever could have expected, both as musicians and as people. We have grown tremendously as a band in all aspects because of our experience with Erik." Born from the ruins of their decaying hometown of Reading, Pennsylvania, Rivers of Nihil are on a relentless path of taking their music to the next level. Formed in 2009 the modern progressive death metal quintet's music is as dark and heavy as the coal and iron their home city was built upon, taking influences from some of death metal's heaviest, most abrasive hitters: Morbid Angel, Gojira, Spawn of Possession, and Decapitated, to name a few.
