When **Rivers of Nihil** release their eponymous fifth album on May 30th, it will be the first full-length to feature **Andy Thomas,** formerly of **Black Crown Initiate**, on rhythm guitar and backing vocals. Thomas joined the group as a touring member in 2022 and has been featured on a couple of singles that have been released in the years since. The album will also be the first **Rivers of Nihil** record that steps outside the band's tetralogy based on the four seasons, each of which are represented by their first four releases, and also the first to feature **Adam Biggs** on lead vocals. Ahead of the album's release, I had a chance to speak with **Andy** about a number of topics. You can view the whole interview **HERE:**
