NEW RIVERS OF NIHIL MUSIC VIDEO CRUSHES, DESTROYS, BRUTALIZES, SLEDGEHAMMERS, ETC., ETC.

This past February I had the privilege — and I do mean PRIVILEGE — of seeing Rivers of Nihil live. And it changed my life.

Never before had I seen a death metal band SO TIGHT, so intense, so fucking unstoppable grace the stage of the intimate Lit Lounge in Manhattan. Where all other new death metal bands try and fail, Rivers of Nihil succeed convincingly at being ridiculously good at everything. Think the brutality of Cannibal Corpse mixed with the technicality of Gorguts and the intensity of Gojira, and you’re close.

Check out their brand new video for “(sin)chronos” above, from their 2011 album Temporality Unbound. More Rivers of Nihil music here.
