\n\u201cWhere Owls Know My Name\u201d has been chosen as the title to RIVERS OF NIHIL’s forthcoming new album. Metal Blade Records have scheduled it for a March 16th release date with pre-orders available now via http:\/\/www.metalblade.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Recording sessions for the effort took place with producer\/musician Carson Slovak (August Burns Red, The Last Ten Seconds Of Life), while Dan Seagrave did the cover art. The band\u2019s guitarist Brody Uttley commented of the outing:<\/p>\n
\u201cThis record is Rivers Of Nihil being exactly who we want to be. Many bands get stuck in a comfortable routine of releasing the same album over and over again. Constantly relying on the same familiar formula may work for some bands, but it does not work for us. Music is art, and art is ever-changing. Without change, there is no progress. Without progress, the very fire that powers art and expression will die. This record is the sound of where we come from, where we are, and where we are going.\u201d
\nBassist\/vocalist Adam Biggs added:<\/p>\n
\u201cThis time around, the lyrics feel a little more personal than on previous albums. The story picks up several millennia after the events of \u2018Monarchy\u2018, where one person still remains alive, chosen by the planet to be the sole intelligent witness of its ultimate fate. But \u2018Where Owls Know My Name\u2018 is less about overarching narrative than our previous albums. The scenario is just a backdrop for the more emotional material we tried to put forth this time around. Ultimately, this is an album about loss, getting older, and reaching a point where death becomes a much more present part of your life.\u201d
\nA new track from it titled \u201cThe Silent Life\u201d has premiered online and can be streamed below.
