1996 and an etched D-side

A concept album based on the lyrics of Richard Wagner's "The Ring of the Nibelung"

an acoustic version with Travis Barker on drums

one that the rest of heavy metal and even the band themselves haven't been able to live up to ever since

and a day later in the United States

Rivers Of Nihil - Work co-op 1996 and an etched D-sideLimited colored vinyl LP pressing. Reading, Pennsylvania's Rivers of Nihil have never fit neatly into a box, but with 2018's Where Owls Know My Name, they transcended all labels applied to them. Returning in 2021 with The Work, they have forged further into new territory, delivering an album that is as cerebral as it is visceral, and that covers a staggering sonic range, definitively placing them in a category of their own.
