  15. Rivers of Nihil – Rivers of Nihil Review

    By ClarkKent

    With the decision to make their fifth album self-titled, Rivers of Nihil signal a rebirth of their sound—both a return to their roots and a new direction. This makes sense when considering that long-time lead singer Jake Dieffenbach departed in 2022. Taking his stead is bassist Adam Biggs, who was already a backup singer, and newcomer Andy Thomas (Black Crown Initiate), who lends his guitars as well as a significant vocal presence. It’s no secret that Rivers of Nihil’s prior albums haven’t met the warmest reception at AMG headquarters, but Kronos saw a clear improvement in their last two albums. Does Rivers of Nihil continue this line of progress, or does the new lineup take the band in the wrong direction?

    In their latest iteration, Rivers of Nihil takes steps forward and some steps back. They largely strip away the progressive song structures that were successful on Where the Owls Know My Name and The Work. Tracks are more repetitive, coupled with industrial beats and simple chugging riffs. Not that many lauded Rivers of Nihil for their killer riffage—the inability to strum actual tunes was a constant complaint throughout Kronos’s reviews. The addition of Andy Thomas’s cleans and the return of the saxophone (handled by Patrick Corona of Cyborg Octopus) help offset this problem to an extent. Songs like “The Sub-Orbital Blues” work despite the simple guitar work due to its high energy on the drums, the seamless blending of Thomas’s and Biggs’s singing, and some sexy sax riffs. Rivers of Nihil is at its best when it embraces its proggy side. Songs like “Water & Time” and “House of Light” balance the gentle, the rough, and even the uplifting as Thomas belts out some stunning choruses.

    Bringing Andy Thomas aboard was a brilliant move. His presence lifts good songs and even elevates some mediocre ones, like “Despair Church,” where his soaring croons deliver a gut punch. This isn’t to say anything against Adam Biggs, whose growls are punchy and effective. Rivers of Nihil are most effective when songs highlight the contrast between Biggs and Thomas. Also brilliant was giving Corona’s sax more play time. With the poor production values, the sax stands out in the mix better than the guitars and it adds layers and depth to the music. “House of Light” mixes the vocal and sax elements perfectly, with Biggs and Thomas taking turns demonstrating their strengths, and the sax adding melody over the guitars. Unfortunately, the inconsistent songwriting often lets Rivers of Nihil down.

    While the front half is more mixed, the back half of Rivers of Nihil (except “House of Light”) takes a nosedive. Here, the band’s worst instincts rear their ugly head. With the slow tempo, uninspired guitar play, and anemic choruses, these songs could effectively replace your soporific of choice. The worst offender of this bunch is “American Death.” Its combination of blast beats and chug-a-chug riffs is the audio equivalent of a strobe light. Demonstrating a lack of imagination is the awkward chorus, whose lyric, “I can’t believe anything you say,” is word-for-word the same as the chorus on Mushroomhead’s “Eternal,” and the delivery is also uncannily similar. Even the album’s strongest elements fail to overcome the tedium of these final tracks. For example, the sax solo in “The Logical End” is an attempt to jazz up a dull song, but this has the same effect as trying to cover up a smelly poo with air freshener—it still stinks.

    As a fan of Rivers of Nihil’s previous work, I had higher hopes when I plucked this from the promo bin. Rivers of Nihil likely won’t deter the band’s loyalest fans, nor will it sway its detractors. Those hoping for them to continue in the interesting direction of The Work will be largely disappointed, however. With one album under their belt, this new version of Rivers of Nihil is now at a crossroads. They can build upon the progressive foundations of “Water & Time,” or develop the energetic fun of “The Sub-Orbital Blues,” or continue the unimaginative performances of “The Logical End.” One can hope they can strike a balance between the first two options and leave the last one behind.

  16. Crypt of Reason – Stargazer Review

    By Maddog

    Written by: Nameless_N00b_90

    The death of a friend or loved one can spark an artist to pour their heart out. Swallow the Sun recorded the emotionally devastating When a Shadow Is Forced into the Light following the death of lead guitarist Juha Raivio’s partner, and Korn released their most mature and gut-wrenching album, The Nothing, following the death of Jonathan Davis’s wife.1 Belarussian Crypt of Reason joins this tradition with their debut album, Stargazer. Stargazer is an album 8+ years in the making, delayed by the sudden death of the band’s lead songwriter, Pavel Minutin, in 2016. Doom is a fitting genre for ruminating on death, yet Crypt of Reason doesn’t play straight-up doom. Will their blend of genres hit you in the feels?

    Unlike Swallow the Sun, Crypt of Reason did not compose their album for the deceased but completed his mostly-written album using drafts and demos. Pavel’s vision was a dissodeath band in the vein of Ulcerate mixed with a healthy dose of doom. Stargazer’s first few songs mimic Ulcerate’s intensity, and vocalist Alexander Naumenko’s throaty growls are more than adequate. But Crypt of Reason is not just an Ulcerate clone. They play at the trudging tempo typical of doom but often switch it up with crunchier guitars and spunkier drums. On top of death/doom, Stargazer is shot through with a post-metal feel and hints of industrial. The guitars become whiny, and the vocals lose their edge in favor of a quiet wispy sound. These disparate genres sometimes blend within songs (“Lemma”), while other songs go completely one way or the other. “The Origin Curse,” with its soft guitar tone and minimalist sound, contains none of the trappings of a doom song, while “Argon,” with its discordant drum beats, goes full disso-doom.

    The first three songs of Stargazer give the impression the album will be straight-up disso-doom, so it’s a shock when “Lemma” switches gears. Naumenko begins performing what I can only describe as a growly mumble rap. Then halfway through, he switches to his harsh vocals and the band plays some of the album’s best doom. Was the strangeness just a blip? Then “Savior” begins and it’s clear that the tone has shifted. This is no longer disso-doom, but a sort of post-nu-metal with hints of Mushroomhead.2 The drum beats become sparser and the lead guitars and synths more repetitive. Crypt of Reason even experiments with unusual sound effects, like a metronome in “The Origin Curse” and what sounds like a washboard in “Savior.” From here on, the album becomes like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Jekyll performs his growls and heavy doom, only for Hyde to come out of hiding to terrify you with his nu-metal and mumbling.

    Sadly, even the doom doesn’t pull its weight. The compositions are underwhelming, lacking the emotional heft one might expect. It’s not a problem with the musicianship. The guitars by Alex Sedin are competent, and his solos played with a delicate touch, are lovely. Vladimir Izotov handles the drums with confidence,3 seamlessly switching tempos and anchoring Crypt of Reason’s sound. The fault lies in the production and mixing. The drums often sound flat and muted.4 The guitars switch from being crunchy and intense to dull and whiny. The vocals sometimes drown out the instruments and sometimes fade into the background. Worst of all, the instruments and vocals often feel disjointed, like they aren’t playing together but atop one another. As a whole, that’s the feeling I get from this album: the pieces don’t quite fit together.

    Due to its odd mix of genres and struggles with production, Stargazer might struggle to land. Fans of doom will be confounded by the elements that don’t belong on a doom album, while fans of post-metal (if you can call it that) won’t find the compositions strong enough to give their full attention. Even for fans of industrial or nü-metal, only a few songs fit that bill. Crypt of Reason would have been better served by focusing on death/doom. That said, it takes tremendous effort to put together a complete album, and to do so in the aftermath of the death of a friend is even more daunting. While I must rate the music on its own terms, my heart goes out to the band, and I hope they achieved the catharsis that they sought.
