Rivers Of Nihil Premiere New Single & Music Video “The Sub-Orbital Blues”

Rivers Of Nihil has kicked off their series of four singles leading up to their forthcoming full-length album. The first single, titled "The Sub-Orbital Blues," has been released alongside an official music video, streaming via YouTube and Spotify for you now below.

The band proudly introduced their new rhythm guitarist/vocalist Andy Thomas (formerly of Black Crown Initiate) through these new tracks. Additionally, bassist Adam Biggs has taken on the lead vocal responsibilities following Jake Dieffenbach's departure in 2022.

Recording and production of these new songs were expertly handled by Carson Slovak and Grant McFarland, who also handled the mixing and mastering duties. Rivers Of Nihil guitarist Brody Uttley contributed his skills in additional engineering during the sessions, which took place in April.

Comments Biggs:

“This song is about the dichotomy of living in a 21st century society rife with scientific and technological advancements such as artificial intelligence and ever more sophisticated space travel, while also dealing with the increasing threat of old world problems like out of control governments and the looming threat of world war.”
