Rivers of Nihil Announce Winter 2016 Headline Tour with Dark Sermon and Black Fast

Who says bands shouldn’t tour during the winter?? Wusses, that’s who. While most “metal” bands are busy doing things like “staying warm” and “enjoying time with family” and “hibernating” or the ever-present “writing the next album,” REAL metal bands venture into the cold, trudge through the snow and brave the icy roads to bring YOU, the people, the brutal fix you so desperately need during ALL SEASONS.

And so it shall be when Rivers of Nihil hit the road this coming February and March for an East Coast and Midwest headline run in support of their recently released album Monarchy. They’ll be bringing Dark Sermon and Black Fast with them, making for a killer — and varied — bill featuring three of the best up and coming bands in metal. You get yer death metal, you got yer atmospheric black metal, and you got yer thrash; a little something for everyone.

And hey, guess what, Florida: you get some dates this time too! THREE of ’em! Wowza!
