Progressive death metal titans Rivers of Nihil have unleashed their latest single, “American Death,” a ferocious and hard-hitting track taken from their highly anticipated self-titled fifth full-length album, set to drop on May 30th via Metal Blade Records.
🗣 Guitarist Brody Uttley shares: “American Death” is a title we’ve had floating around since 2013. It was finally time to write a song with that name, and given the lyrics, it had to be a brutal, relentless track. This is definitely one of the heaviest songs on the album, and we can’t wait to perform it live!”

💀 About “Rivers of Nihil” Sixteen years into their career, Rivers of Nihil is entering a new era with their self-titled album. Featuring the return of original vocalist Adam Biggs and the addition of guitarist Andy Thomas (ex-Black Crown Initiate), the album delivers ten crushing tracks that explore death from multiple perspectives.
With production from Carson Slovak and Grant McFarland at Atrium Audio, and guest contributions including Patrick Corona (alto sax), Stephan Lopez (banjo), and Grant McFarland (cello), Rivers of Nihil is an album that blends brutality, melody, and technical mastery like never before.
Today, the band has shared the video for “You’ll Never Learn” that was filmed at Bloodstock 2022 and Download Fest 2023 by Loki Films. Watch it here: You’ll Never Learn.
“You’ll Never Learn” is about the people you keep around in your life that continue to make the same mistakes without making a change. Chances and patience run out, people will only stick by you for so long. Keep those true to you close, and drop that dead weight.”We shot this video across our two performances at the UK festivals Bloodstock and Download, and Loki Films managed to capture the utter chaos that ensued. Crack open a tinnie, roll a joint, bang your head or do whatever you do and enjoy the carnage of ‘YOU’LL NEVER LEARN.'” Along with our brand new video, we are supremely buzzing to announce that we will be washing Europe and the UK in oceans of blood with our dear friends Lorna Shore, Rivers Of Nihil, and Distant this autumn! We can’t wait to get back out on the road and do what we do best, laying waste to every city that we touch! -Ingested

ABOUT INGESTED: Ingested are the flagbearers of modern UK death metal. They have been churning out bilious anti-anthems for more than a decade-and-a-half, dropping a string of releases that have helped shape the genre. They return with Ashes Lie Still, their most dynamic, inventive, and daring release to date, holding nothing back. The band describes it as “a modern essential. It still has the core Ingested elements of groovy slamming riffs, quick drumming, and guttural vocals but there’s also atmosphere, ethereal moments, and some raw old school aggression.” Over the course of 10 tracks, Ingested hack, slash, and steamroll through everything in their path, and Ashes Lie Still easily stands as the highpoint of an already impressive career. Founded in 2006 in Manchester, England, Ingested have since toured extensively with Cannibal Corpse, The Black Dahlia Murder, Nile, Carnifex, and Revocation, and have been seen on European festival stages including Summer Breeze Open Air. Slimmed down to a three-piece, the band feels it is in the best place it ever has been, enabling the members to work at the top of their game.
Ashes Lie Still was mixed and mastered by Christian Donaldson. It was co-produced by the band and previous collaborator Nico Beninato, with drummer Lyn Jeffs living close to Beninato’s studio in Mallorca and recording his drums there, while Sean Hynes recorded his guitars at home in the UK with the producer assisting remotely. Vocal tracking was interrupted by Jason Evans falling seriously ill when finally making it to Mallorca and was ultimately tracked back in Manchester. Bass was again supplied by Dominic Grimard (Ion Dissonance/The Last Felony).
Ingested succinctly encapsulate their existence, saying, “We’ve always been the underdogs, always fighting for scraps. Well, it’s time to get out of the fucking way, because now it’s our turn to eat at the table.”
You’ve. Been. Warned.
