This band is my good friends. Great band and great people. Known Jake, the vocalist for more than half of my life (currently 29). No one deserves seccess in the metal world more than these guys.
@@VillageIdiotFs Discovered Rivers on Sirius XM Liquid Metal with their 1st album back in 2013/14. Have they ever gone on the show? Jose n the crew would love to kick it with them
@@petergjata1498 Yep, I know. that's why I brought it up. They referenced the reaction in the video without saying which one they did. I remember them being distracted by the video, even though they liked the song.
This band is absolutely phenomenal. Their last album, “Where Owls Know my Name”, was absolutely my favorite album of last year and one of my favorites of the decade. It brings so much atmosphere and emotion to the table, along with being extremely refreshing in sound and innovative. Not to mention, I got to see them live with Fit For an Autopsy and Lorna Shore a couple months ago, and they were absolutely PHENOMENAL. They sounded perfect, they were interactive with the crowd, and they were really cool guys. Incredible band.
The story of the album this song is from is about the last man on earth and how he has to watch mankind die and how the earth is changing through the centuries.
One of my favorite albums of 2018 right here. This band is phenomenal. On their tour, they collected stuffed owls (because of their album title “Where Owls Know My Name”) to give to orphans. Fans brought them to shows. It was SO impactful.
You guys loved the other song from Rivers of Nihil as well. They're pretty awesome. Glad they represent my city. You have to hear "The Silent Life" -- it's one of my favorite songs ever.
A background Rivers of Nihil our out an album I believe in 2018 called Where Owls Know My Name. Which was named a top album of the decade by Loudwire and other metal publications. You already reviewed the title track and now have listened to A Home. Now to me, their Magnum Opus is a song called The Silent Life. Give it a listen and you’ll love them even more.
My Father (rip Dad) taught me how to play drums, I’ve been playing since I was 4-5yrs old, so about 27 years now. My Dad popped in the Misfits - Legacy of Brutality..the rest is history. My musical tastes over the years have trended towards always keeping up with the most “hardcore, brutal underground” music. “Where Owls Know My Name” is easily in my Top 5 greatest albums. I was ABSOLUTELY mesmerized, their musicianship is OFF THE CHARTS. This is a 1-in-a lifetime album.
I was gonna recommend Where Owls Know My Name, but I forgot you guys already did that. So, I'll ask this instead. Uhhhhhh, when's that Cattle Decapitation vid you mentioned coming? Edit: Actually, you could also do The Silent Life. By Rivers Of Nihil. Also, for the love of Anubis, please do Virtues Of The Beast by SepticFlesh for this poor Greek man in the comments. He's been asking for like a century, at this point.
I'm pretty sure he said they are going to do Cattle Decap after they do this wave of patreon stuff. On the other hand he told me "We are doing the song this week!" about thirteen months ago.
@@NoDustNPN Aww, that's slightly disappointing. I mean, it's a good song, but I was hoping for Kingdom Of Tyrants, Bring Back The Plague or the Death Atlas video. But, I mean, any Cattle Decap is better than no Cattle Decap lol.
My interpretation was that your body was your hypothetical home. Home is a concept that's temporary, made for comfort. Whatever you call home it really isn't a home bc its temporary. Even your body, you're only borrowing it. You can never call anything in this world a home. Listen to this album!!!
I listened to this album when it came out, and I only remember that I liked it, but not specifically what it sounded like. That was a freakin' great song, and I need to re-check these guys out.
NF’s “How Could You Leave Us” is about his mom leaving. Also, love RoN and this song is awesome. Try Subtle Change or Capricorn / Agoratopia from them.
How do you not remember Where Owls Know My Name lol?! It was one if my alliance picks from the Epic Underground alliance. It also nearly sent Sori into labour. Hit me up if you want more of this style Prog/Tech DM.
Man, Rivers of Nihil- Where Owls Know my Name might be the album of the decade.its a concept album and it is fantastic. I love this song, but it doesn't necessarily show the true scope of the album, it's one of the few songs that doesn't really feature the sax. You guys have done the title track and now this one. You guys really need to do Subtle Change, it's one of the greatest songs I've ever heard, and shows the real scope of the album, every element is in that song.
@@fanfarronsuelo love Terminal Redux. Such an amazing and unique album. I really like everything Vektor does but they really stepped it up on Terminal Redux. Another incredible album is Proponent for Sentience by Allegaeon if you haven't heard that check it out.
Amazing musicianshop aside, I loved the concept of this album, but it seems like either people don't know about it or it's just not discussed by those who do. The last remaining human on Earth, undying and living to see all we built crumble and disappear. And yet less about the world and more a charcter study of what that might do to a mind and a soul... to see the insignificance of it all through the curse of everlasting time.
@@liquididentity101 yeah, I love the story on the album. I love how when you know the story you can feel all the emotion behind it in the music. Perfection.
I’m late to watch and comment. Hope you guys went back and watched your reaction of them from a while back. Cause you did one and I think you liked it a lot.
This song is about a thousand year old person who literally has a suit of flesh made from his followers all the rivers of nihil albums are about this but what you thought of is creative
My top metal album of the last 3 years sic album totally underrated love this band.listen to the silent life next amazing song and a surprise instrument in the song to you'll love it.🤘
During 2018, I was having trouble deciding which album I had heard from that year was the best... _and then_ I heard *Rivers of Nihil* - _Where Owls Know My Name_ (the album, not just the song) and it was hands down the best, no contest. So... *Vin* likes "band-in-a-garage" videos, huh? Then I bet these would go down well: *Overkill* - _Bring Me the Night_ (10.2.2010), also *Overkill* - _Armorist_ (1.7.2014), still *Overkill* - _Goddamn trouble_ (3.2.2017), and finally *Overkill* - _Shine On_ (17.3.2017)!
@@pek7629 Your correct man..I had some bad info. I'm going to have to go back and find that interview I saw with them and figure out what I thought I heard. They are apparently just from the same town... good catch. Peace
The video he’s talking about has got to be the old lady playing Down with the sickness, it was hilarious!!! Mike wingren is the drummer for Disturbed and is actually pretty sturdy.
Hey guys! Love your work, but this album is a concept album based in fall. He described the writing process (basist) as instead of just making a fall album, they would put it in fall (death) and leave 1 survivor, who is aging and dying. I reccomend listen through the album fully with the lyrics. Such am amazing band
A band with much potential, adding depth to the metal genre =) ... Not easy listening, but I like it. Good reaction and analysis, you two! #Warbringer - Silhouettes ... Show 2nd wave thrash some love \,,/
Please react to Voices From The Fuselage - Machina! Attempt # 6. I know I took a break from the request, but I'm back at it again. Also, I was thinking how weird it is that you haven't reacted to Amon Amarth in a while with how amazing they are. You've done Twilight, but what about Hel, Deceiver of the Gods, First Kill, anything!!

"Where Owls Know My Name" is one fo the greatest videos every made.
They made a reaction to that video.

Finally this band again. I listened to this entire album and was fucking amazed
The whole album is fantastic

My top album tooo... I forget how I found it but so glad I did
Absolutely. Fell in love with this album, it completely took me by surprise, and it bored out a hole in my heart

Same here. This and Inferi's 'Revenant'. Glad I got to see this whole album played live.
Rivers of Nihil - Subtle Change. Their best song.
Coming back to this, still love watching you guys check this band out!
You guys loved the other song from Rivers of Nihil as well. They're pretty awesome. Glad they represent my city. You have to hear "The Silent Life" -- it's one of my favorite songs ever.
Where are all the reading metalheads in real life? Lived here most of my life and have only seen them in this comment section.

"Who are these guys." Lol, that was my first reaction when I listened to them as well.

Oh, _The Silent Life_ is a *must.* The 3rd and final video from the album.

It's Manufactured Extinct in case you are wondering.

A jewel of a track from an absolute gem of an album. Love this band \m/
They're amazing. What a god damn great album.
Just found a new band to listen to at the gym. Sonically this song was killer as f. Vocals were on point. Dam this was good.
Listen to this whole album. It's the album of 2018 and one of my favorite ever.
Nate Seese I did. Album is amazing. Not a bad song anywhere and those songs that feature the sax, well dam that was great!
The album this is from was the best album of 2018 and one of the best of the decade. This band is just incredible.
I lived in Maine when I was a kid... you guys make me nostalgic for it.. cheers. great channel
I love this band... I didnt heard them in a lot of time... I remember why they are so amazing
8 months ago you check out the same band, with the song *Where Owls Know My Name*.
Black tongue- eclipse.

Some of us are always looking for recommendations. :) Lately I've been listening to a lot of Dyscarnate and Archspire
Ah yes, the best death metal album of 2018
Their albums are based on seasons. This album is based on autumn

If you haven't already, check out The Silent Life off the same album.

Honestly though, while they might sound good, this band cannot write good riffs. It's mostly just background tremolos or strumming
