Episode 27: Rivers of Nihil's Brody Uttley

Brody Uttley from Reading, Pennsylvania band, Rivers of Nihil, took time out of his busy schedule to sit down and discuss the upcoming self titled release, the influences and growth of the band, the newest member of the band Andy Thomas, and the local scene in Reading and in the surrounding communities. and their effect on the sound too. No one can deny, the growth and evolution of a sound into one kick ass form!A great talk, with a great dude, from a great band, I cannot wait for the self titled entire record to come out, and with the strength of these few singles, it is going to be a mind blowing release. The first 3 singles, Water & Time, House of Light, and American Death, take the strengths from their previous albums and double down on the strengths, making this a phenomenal sound. I had an absolute blast chatting with Brody, and an even better time checking out the sounds of the Self Titled record coming May 30, 2025, on Metal Blade Records, and it is one diverse sound, with something for everyone, so make sure you head over and pre-save this album. Even better, head over to Metal Blade and pre-order the vinyl.🎙️ Distorted Dialogue | A Podcast from The Metal Institute of Thrashology 🤘Welcome to Distorted Dialogue, the official podcast of The Metal Institute of Thrashology — where riffs meet ridiculousness and academia bows before the almighty arpeggio.Each episode dives deep, headfirst into the chaotic realms of metal, punk, hardcore, and beyond with band members, scene lifers, and other unholy scholars of sound.
