Tour Dates: Rivers of Nihil, Alterbeast, and Inferi

Rivers of Nihil’s new album, Where Owls Know My Name, has been released to near-universal praise. Like, the fact that the record is fucking great is possibly the only thing upon which the entire metal community seems to agree this year. And I can’t even tell you how happy that makes me. Owls is fucking GREAT. The first time I heard it, in fact, I thought, “Wow, this is so good, everyone is gonna hate it.” I’m glad that for once my cynicism was unfounded.

So. Since we all love this album, I’m sure we’re all gonna wanna go see Rivers of Nihil on tour with Alterbeast and Inferi this summer (at least, those of us who live in Canada, Brooklyn, or parts of Pennsylvania). The band is always great… but I, for one, haven’t had the chance to hear them play any of their Owls material live yet, so using the word “stoked” would be waaaayyyyy underselling my excitement for these shows. Like, is it the end of June yet or what?
