Water & Time is the newest single from progressive death metal alchemists RIVERS OF NIHIL. The track comes off the band’s eponymous fifth full-length, set for release on May 30 via Metal Blade Records.
Comments founding guitarist Brody Uttley. “Water & Time is a song that we put together before most of the rest of this album. The working title on it was ‘TFF’ meaning ‘Tears For Fears’ because in a lot of ways I feel like it’s our stab at writing a big chorus style synth laden song much like those kinds of bands. Initially it was a song that I wrote out totally on a synthesizer, just as an experiment really, not thinking it would be a RIVERS song. However, when I heard the main melody back, I knew we were on to something cool, so we filled out the song with ‘metal band stuff’ to get what you hear in the final version.”
