Topping their full-length debut is no elementary task; Terrorizer Magazine declared that Rivers of Nihil 'manage to do something unashamedly modern, and yet make death metal sound twisted and malevolent,' while  HeavyBlogisHeavy.com  simply noted that it was 'Definitely one of the best debuts to come out this year. ' With Monarchy, Reading, PA's Rivers of Nihil take a huge leap forward songwriting, performance, and production-wise.
