Rivers Of Nihil Premiere New Single & Music Video “House Of Light”

Earlier this week, progressive tech-death outfit Rivers Of Nihil announced that their self-titled fifth studio album will arrive via Metal Blade on May 30th. Today, February 06th, the band has unveiled their latest single, “House Of Light.” The accompanying music video, directed by David Brodsky (Cattle Decapitation, The Black Dahlia Murder), has also premiered online.

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.

[‘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, guitarist} singing and [bassist Adam] Biggs 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.”
