Rivers of Nihil are an American death/black metal band and Where Owls Know My Name will be their third release. Their first two albums, The Conscious Seed of Light and Monarchy, were themed on Spring and Summer respectively. Where Owls Know My Name is themed on Autumn. Safe to say there will be a Winter one at some point in the future and then,. who knows……
Rivers of Nihil today are Jake Dieffenbach on vocals. Brody Uttley is joined by Jon Topore on guitar duties with Adam Biggs on bass and backing vocals. Finally, the band have added Jared Klein on drums.
Rivers of Nihil have built up a strong reputation with their early releases. They are definitely a band that shatter the mould. While there are obvious nods to their peers, they are a progressive and creative band. They take influence from many genres in and out of metal and Where Owls Know My Name will be no different. In fact, it could be even more inventive and creative than it’s predecessors.
