RIVERS OF NIHIL Debut “WATER & TIME” Music Video

Progressive technical death metal outfit RIVERS OF NIHIL have unveiled the official music video for their latest single, “WATER & TIME.” Directed by DAVID BRODSKY (Cattle Decapitation, Whitechapel), the cinematic clip arrives ahead of the band’s upcoming self-titled fifth album, due out May 30th via METAL BLADE RECORDS.

Guitarist BRODY UTTLEY offered some insight into the track’s unique approach:

“‘WATER & TIME’ is a song that we put together before most of the rest of this album. The working title on it was ‘TFF,’ meaning ‘Tears For Fears,’ because in a lot of ways I feel like it’s our stab at writing a big chorus-style, synth-laden song much like those kinds of bands.

Initially, it was a song that I wrote entirely on a synthesizer—just as an experiment really—not thinking it would become a RIVERS song. However, when I heard the main melody back, I knew we were on to something cool. So, we filled out the song with ‘metal band stuff’ to get what you hear in the final version.”

Rivers of Nihil marks the band’s first full-length since 2021’s critically acclaimed The Work and is already shaping up to be one of the year’s most anticipated progressive metal releases.
