Sixteen years and five albums into the Pennsylvania band's career, progressive death metal progenitors Rivers of Nihil are upping the ante with the self-titled album 'Rivers of Nihil'. Traditionally, a self-titled record can signal a return to basics and/or a fresh beginning, and in 10 powerful songs, it's clear that both those factors are in play. Founding bassist Adam Biggs became the band's new lead vocalist/bassist in 2023; the same year marked the appearance of additional guitarist Andy Thomas (ex-Black Crown Initiate), whose vocals also play prominently on 'Rivers of Nihil'.
