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.<\/p>\n<p>Hailed as, &#8220;the gold standard for extreme, technical, progressive, and passionate death metal right now,&#8221; by HeavyBlogIsHeavy.com, Monarchy continues the seasonal concept that began with Spring on RIVERS OF NIHIL&#8217;s debut, The Conscious Seed Of Light, this time welcoming the oppressive Summer heat. Adam Biggs, who also serves as the band&#8217;s primary lyricist, explains: &#8220;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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>RIVERS OF NIHIL:<br \/>\n7\/01\/2016 The Champ &#8211; Lemoyne, PA<br \/>\n7\/02\/2016 The Mad Frog &#8211; Columbus, OH<br \/>\n7\/03\/2016 The Beat Kitchen &#8211; Chicago, IL<br \/>\n7\/04\/2016 The Jackpot &#8211; Lawrence, KS<br \/>\n7\/05\/2016 Thunder Alley &#8211; Oklahoma City, OK<br \/>\nw\/ Beyond Creation, The Zenith Passage:<br \/>\n7\/06\/2016 Dirty Dog Bar &#8211; Austin, TX w\/ Psycroptic<br \/>\n7\/07\/2016 The Rail Club &#8211; Fort Worth, TX w\/ Psycroptic<br \/>\n7\/08\/2016 Mesa Music Hall &#8211; El Paso, TX<br \/>\n7\/09\/2016 Joe&#8217;s Grotto &#8211; Phoenix, AZ<br \/>\n7\/10\/2016 Studio One Live &#8211; Mission Vejo, CA<br \/>\n7\/11\/2016 Whisky &#8211; W.
