RIVERS OF NIHIL Announces North American Tour With Beyond Creation And The Zenith Passage

RoNadmat

This July, RIVERS OF NIHIL will embark on another North American trek, touring in support of their acclaimed sophomore album, Monarchy. The quintet will first play a short run of headlining shows before joining Beyond Creation and The Zenith Passage for a tour that will run from July 8th through July 23rd. See all confirmed dates below.

Hailed as, “the gold standard for extreme, technical, progressive, and passionate death metal right now,” by HeavyBlogIsHeavy.com, Monarchy continues the seasonal concept that began with Spring on RIVERS OF NIHIL‘s debut, The Conscious Seed Of Light, this time, welcoming the oppressive Summer heat. Adam Biggs, who also serves as the band’s primary lyricist, explains: “The Earth has been transformed into a vast desert wasteland, where after aeons of lifelessness, new beings begin to take shape and begin their journey as shepherds of the planet. But after a while, a class system forms from a sun-worshiping religious dictatorship, and these beings start to lose their way. Only the guidance of an ancient earthly force can help them save themselves as well the planet.”
