Rivers of Nihil Stir the Sh*t with Their Heavy Metal ‘Hot Takes’
We’ve all got ’em: super controversial opinions on metal that in normal circles would get us banished to the shadow realm in a heartbeat. But sometimes, it just feels good to let out some piping hot takes and let the world know where you stand.
We recently caught up with the guys in Rivers of Nihil and asked them for their best heavy metal hot takes, including what they feel about Sleep Token, Van Halen v. Van Hagar, and tech death as a genre. Some really jaw-dropping, eye-opening stuff here.
As always, we’d like to thank the dudes in Rivers of Nihil for taking the time to talk some shit with us. It’s always great to see these guys live, so be sure to hit ’em up at one of the tour dates listed below the video.
