Black Emperor, Sigur Rós, Swans, This Will Destroy YouRivers of Nihil is an American progressive death metal band. Known for their eclectic sound that folds in the assorted influences of all of its members, they have become a fast-rising star in the death metal world and are poised to take it by storm.Formed in Reading, Pennsylvania in 2009 by Jake Dieffenbach (vocals), Jonathan Kunz (guitar), and Ron Nelson (drums), the band quickly welcomed in Brody Uttley (guitar) and Adam Biggs (bass, vocals) after their own band fell apart and then proceeded to build up a live reputation that helped make Hierarchy, their debut EP, an underground hit in 2010. Shows throughout the Northeast helped continue the momentum, as did their second EP, Temporality Unbound, which came out in late 2011. It was sometime around this period that Erik Rutan discovered them on MySpace and left them a message praising them and informing them of his desire to work with them someday. This, along with a successful tour with their buddies in Kamikabe, only served to further embolden them; when offered a deal with Metal Blade Records in 2012, it became apparent that their hard work had paid off. Recording for their full-length began in March of 2013; come that October, The Conscious Seed of Light was released and met with much fanfare and critical acclaim.Various tours followed; additionally, 2014 brought the band's first hiccup, as Ron Nelson decided to leave and was replaced by Alan Balamut. Additionally, their first major tour of that year with Oceano, Broken Hope, Fallujah, and Kublai Khan ended early due to a string of ill fortune that struck every band on the bill except them and resulted in the cancellation of the tour; thankfully, another tour with Whitechapel and DevilDriver was just around the corner and went fine, so it's likely that that was just a bump in the road. Kunz later quit in September and was replaced by Jon Topore, before the band embarked on the Death tribute act Death to All's "Swamp Leper Stomp" tour with Obituary and Massacre. Their second album, Monarchy, was released in 2015. Around the end of 2015, Alan Balamut left due to a mix of a rough financial situation and a desire to finally finish school; Dylan Potts was brought on as a live fill-in and was inducted as a full-time member sometime after. He did not work out and was gone by the end of 2016, however, and Jared Klein was brought in as a fill-in before being made full-time himself in 2017. | |

New Sound Album | |
| Rivers of Nihil (Music) / int_22093e9b | comment |
New Sound Album: Each release since The Conscious Seed of Light have involved a major stylistic shift. Monarchy is a far denser, less straightforward, and generally more progressive release than the debut; while the first half is at least somewhat similar, the second half is where the arrangements open up. Where Owls Know My Name is a much deeper plunge into prog, with far more eclectic arrangements and the introduction of clean vocals, saxophone, and Mellotron on certain tracks. The Work completely sheds whatever tech elements remained, with extremely prominent post-metal and industrial metal elements and some subtle but noticeable trip-hop elements, an increased clean vocal presence, and an overall singular focus on prog. | |

Special Guest | |
| Rivers of Nihil (Music) / int_2719ab04 | comment |
Special Guest: Zach Strouse (Burial in the Sky) tracked saxophone on multiple songs on Where Owls Know My Name and The Work, while Andy Thomas tracked guest cleans on the aforementioned album's title track and Justin McKinney laid down a lead on "Old Nothing". James Dorton delivered a vocal guest spot on "Episode". On the live front, Dylan Potts and Jared Klein both started out as this, while Darren Liwen (The Kennedy Veil, Dismal) was strictly a one-time fill-in. Patrick Corona (Cyborg Octopus) has also become their on-call live saxophonist as of 2019 whenever their tour budgets allow for them to bring him out and they want to play songs that prominently feature saxophone. | |

Concept Album | |
| Rivers of Nihil (Music) / int_34f6774c | comment |
Concept Album: All of their albums in varying degrees: The Conscious Seed of Light is a set of stories of all the people who have lived on an unnamed planet whose souls eventually form one massive collective, which eventually leads into the solar flare at the end of "Airless" that kills off almost the entire planet's population and leads into Monarchy. Monarchy: the world of The Conscious Seed of Light has become a sun-bleached desert and civilization is mostly restricted to a underground-dwelling sun-worshiping theocracy that has started to look more and more like a dictatorship with each passing day. Then another mass die-off occurs. Where Owls Know My Name: the world of Monarchy is dead and gone and the spirit of the planet has allowed one person to live so that its death may have a witness, which doubles as a general narrative of death, aging, loss, and the ephemerality of life. The Work is a more general narrative of winter as a metaphor for aging and the realities of being a famous artist when you never expected your art to take you this far, with both its bitter, crushing, miserable lows and its beautiful highs and breaks from the gloom and desolation. | |

Working Class Anthem | |
| Rivers of Nihil (Music) / int_4da65e15 | comment |
Working Class Anthem: "Hellbirds" is sung from the perspective of an archetypal down-on-their-luck blue collar worker; they're exhausted, in pain all the time, way too old to still be doing backbreaking physical labor, making way too little for the toll their job takes, struggling with a worsening substance addiction brought on by a need to make the day even slightly more tolerable, and increasingly less able to give a fuck about anything any more. | |

Lead Bassist | |
| Rivers of Nihil (Music) / int_6788e74a | comment |
Lead Bassist: Adam Biggs hits all four categories on the head; he's got a ton of technical ability, he's a relatively frequent vocal contributor, he writes the vast majority of the lyrics and a decent amount of the music as well, and his basslines factor very heavily into the band's established musical style. | |

Handicapped Badass: Jake Dieffenbach has a progressively-worsening hearing deficit that he was born with that requires him to wear hearing aids (it's also resulted in a noticeable lisp due to how his hearing difficulties affected the way that he learned how to speak as a child), but he has become known as a powerful vocalist with a distinctly intelligible vocal approach. | |

Growing the Beard | |
| Rivers of Nihil (Music) / int_b2e10cc9 | comment |
Growing the Beard: Adam Biggs credits Erik Rutan for making him a better bassist overall. In the band's earlier days, he just wanted to play the most complex and challenging material that he could come up with on bass and went into the recording sessions for The Conscious Seed of Light with that approach in mind; according to Biggs, Rutan kept pushing him to calm down, let the song breathe, and let the music dictate his approach rather than trying to shoehorn what he felt like playing in. Biggs has long since realized that Rutan's influence rubbed off on him and made him a more mature, nuanced player. | |

The Sixth Ranger: Zach Strouse, who started out as a guest saxophonist on Where Owls Know My Name, but wound up becoming an integral part of the band's modern sound. While he is not a full member and likely will not become one, he does tour with the band when time and budgets allow and it makes sense for the tour, and overall has been a pivotal figure in the band's growth. | |

Start My Own: Jon Kunz started the death/doom metal act Outer Heaven sometime in 2013 and later wound up quitting Rivers of Nihil to focus on it. | |

Technical Death Metal: Their EPs and the first two studio albums. They abandoned this on Where Owls Know My Name. | |

Soprano and Gravel | |
| Rivers of Nihil (Music) / int_f1dcc3f | comment |
Soprano and Gravel: Sorta. Jake has a mid-ranged roar that is somewhere between Steve Tucker and Piotr Wiwczarek, while Adam has a much higher rasp. Played straight on Where Owls Know My Name, which features clean vocals on multiple tracks. | |

The Alleged Car | |
| Rivers of Nihil (Music) / int_f237981e | comment |
The Alleged Car: Even by metal standards, their old van was a piece of shit and they were more than happy to admit it. Adam even walked one interviewer through all the bizarre and frustrating quirks of it, which included lots of bad sensors that essentially made most of the indicator lights and dials on the dashboard worthless, bad locks that rendered several doors largely unusable, and frustrating air conditioning quirks that seemed to be indicative of larger electrical problems; Digital Tour Bus (who were given an overview of the old van) even told them that it was quite literally the worst tour vehicle that they had ever covered. They got a newer, much better one, however, and their old one presumably met its end in a scrapyard. | |
