In anticipation of their forthcoming full-length, Monarchy, Rivers of Nihil have teamed with Loudwire to premiere a brand new music video for their bone-crushing single, “Sand Baptism.” Check it out after the jump, and let us know what you think in the comments section below.
“‘Sand Baptism’ is a track where we purposely fused our more traditional death metal sound with the newer elements that we brought to the table on this album,” the group explained. “This track is a well balanced serving of emotion, brutality, technicality, and catchiness. We really wanted to focus on writing SONGS on this record instead of just stringing riffs together.”
The band is being modest, of course–their 2013 debut, The Conscious Seed Of Light, was out of this world in all the right ways, and from all indications, their sophomore record will be even better. Pre-order it here before it hits shelves on August 21 via Metal Blade Records.
