Rivers Of Nihil Debut “House Of Light” Music Video

Progressive tech death metal band Rivers Of Nihil has revealed that their self-titled fifth studio album will be released on Metal Blade on May 30th. Today, February 06th, the band dropped their latest single, “House Of Light.” The song is accompanied by a music video directed by David Brodsky (known for his work with Cattle Decapitation and The Black Dahlia Murder).

Guitarist Brody Uttley shared his thoughts on the upcoming album:

“I feel like these songs are the perfect blend of all our albums, with all the fat cut away. There are more technical songs that call back to The Conscious Seed Of Light and Monarchy sound, but with a more mature understanding of how to pace a song. There’s a fair bit of the Where Owls Know My Name and The Work-type experimental stuff, but with a more refreshed perspective on those styles for the current era of the band.”

On “House Of Light,” he added:

“[‘House Of Light’] encapsulates the nature of what it is that we do perfectly while offering a different perspective on the sound with the new lineup. Everything that our fans have come to love about our sound is demonstrated in this song with the new addition of Andy Thomas [guitar] singing and Adam Biggs [bass] on main vocals. It has the riffs, it has the big chorus, it has the prog, it has the solos, it has the sax. Just a real classic example of what we do as a band in 2025.”
