Rivers Of Nihil Premiere New Single & Music Video "Water & Time" From Upcoming New Album

Progressive technical death metal outfit Rivers Of Nihil have just unveiled the official music video for their latest single, “Water & Time.” The visually arresting clip was directed by David Brodsky (Cattle Decapitation, Whitechapel), and sets the tone for the band’s forthcoming self-titled fifth studio album, which is due out May 30th via Metal Blade Records.

Guitarist Brody Uttley offered the following thoughts on the track:

“‘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 out totally on a synthesizer, just as an experiment really, not thinking it would be 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.”
