Progressive technical death metal band Rivers Of Nihil‘s “Water & Time” music video is now available for your viewing pleasure. Director David Brodsky (Cattle Decapitation, Whitechapel) was hired on to helm that clip. A May 30th release date through Metal Blade Records currently stands for the band’s self-titled fifth studio album.
Guitarist Brody Uttley had the following to share of this latest track:
“‘Water & Time‘ is a song that we put together before most of the rest of this album. The working title on it was ‘TFF’ meaning ‘Tears For Fears’ because in a lot of ways I feel like it’s our stab at writing a big chorus style synth laden song much like those kinds of bands.
Initially it was a song that I wrote out totally on a synthesizer, just as an experiment really, not thinking it would be a Rivers song. However, when I heard the main melody back, I knew we were on to something cool, so we filled out the song with ‘metal band stuff’ to get what you hear in the final version.”
