RIVERS OF NIHIL are back and ready to shatter expectations with their latest single, “Water & Time,” a synth-soaked, progressive death metal anthem that offers a glimpse into their upcoming self-titled fifth album, dropping May 30th via Metal Blade Records.
What started as an experimental synth track—nicknamed “TFF” for its Tears for Fears vibe—evolved into a full-blown metal banger, with towering choruses and crushing riffs layered over its shimmering electronic roots. Guitarist Brody Uttley crafted the bones of the album to hit hard live, before adding in the studio polish, ensuring the record feels as potent in a dive bar as it does in an arena. But this isn’t just business as usual—the new album pushes the envelope with added textures like saxophone, banjo, and cello, expanding their sound while staying true to their genre-defying spirit.
