Today tech death up and comers Rivers of Nihil debuted the title track from their soon to be released new opus, Monarchy (Metal Blade) due out on August 21st. You can stream the track from No Clean Singing at this link:
Bassist Adam Biggs commented about the track and the concept behind Monarchy:
“The whole album is a concept piece, lyrically. It follows the struggles of a new breed of intelligent life on a planet earth that is now essentially a vast, oceanless desert. These beings, as humans did long before them, create a ruling class that dominates the masses through religious fear. By the time we reach the title track, this “Monarchy” is in full swing. Musically, the track expresses this dominant oppression via an exploration of our heavy, groove-oriented side. This one is a bruiser, but it doesn’t abandon our taste for blast beats, fierce riffs, lead work and an overall sense of shred.“
Pre-Orders are live from Metal Blade at this link. Another new track, along with pre-order bundles, is available online now. Fans can visit there to hear “Perpetual Growth Machine“. Fall tour dates are incoming.
