Since then I've listened to this album hundreds of times; when I'm having a tough day, when I'm sad, when something stressful happens, when I'm angry...it's been a constant comfort to me throughout the years and I now consider Rivers of Nihil my favourite band. Thank you so much for giving me solace and peace of mind in some of the worst most stressful times in my life. I'm endlessly grateful.

I'm listening to this in the background, not fully paying attention, I also read some comments, and I came to this general meta-conclusion: whatever the genre, you cannot stay fresh unless you go a little prog. Prog became a synonym for having balls, thinking outside the box, prog transcends genres and reflects the artist's state of mind. Because everything standard has already been done to death, everybody needs to find a special something that makes them unique, something identity defining. In the days of old, only a few had the charisma and the spine to do it, but nowadays even record labels are on board, and it's great times!

I saw this Band in Portland OR when they opened for Thy Art and Dying Fetus. Got really really high off of a joint in the bathroom in the venue and this band came on right after. I remember not much of a long set which felt longer because of the high. All I can recall from this band was the sick guitar solos and then when the SAX solo came on it blew my mind. Listening to this album a month later and it is such a masterpiece

This just came up in my youtube recommended, and my jaw is now on the floor. This album is incredible. Every single band member is just killing it. The drums and guitarist especially caught my ear. Guitarist has a similar tone/style to Brandon from Black Dahlia Murder. Love it, and now I have a lot more research to do on these guys.

I love when an ALBUM feels like a piece of art in itself. It's not just songs thrown together. Rivers of Nihil albums always feel like a story being told over the course of the album. Each album has its own personality and i love it. People sometimes complain when "all the songs sound the same" on an album, but i cant disagree more. I love when the songs all blend together, you cant tell where one ends and the next begins. its just a beautiful journey all the way to the end. The artistry here really speaks to me. I wish i could show Rivers of Nihil how much they inspire me as a person, and as a creator. With all the love in the world, keep making amazing music, keep telling great stories, and keep inspiring young artists like myself. You guys absolutely rock

This album definitely reminds me of Behemoth's The Satanist. Not musically, but I remember the anticipation for that album. Both of these albums were highly anticipated and my expectations were pretty high. Upon release and listening to the full album, they both completely blew my expectations out of the water. The Satanist has been one of my favorite albums of recent years, and was the first death metal album I ever thought of to be truly perfect. This album 100% feels like it is going to be the same way. Both are very unique and well done, and will be hard to beat for years to come.

Proszę, proszę. Jestem bardzo mile zaskoczony. Nie słyszałem wcześniej niczego od tych panów ale przesluchuje ten album po raz bodaj jedenasty od wczoraj i bez zbędny ceregieli stwierdzam że kupuję ich w całości. Album miazga. W sumie jest tu wszystko łącznie z cholernym jakże pięknym saksofonem oraz gitara akustyczna. Miód na uszy. Szok! Polecam!
