RIVERS OF NIHIL: Announce 'The Conscious Seed of Light' Vinyl Release

Reading, PA technical death metal phenoms RIVERS OF NIHIL have teamed up with Brutal Panda Records to release their critically acclaimed debut full-length The Conscious Seed Of Light on limited edition vinyl format. Originally released in 2012 by Metal Blade Records, The Conscious Seed Of Light was recorded by Erik Rutan (Morbid Angel, Hate Eternal) at Mana Studios in Florida and featured 10 tracks of intelligent and infectious, technically proficient death metal. Cover art was handled by the legendary Dan Seagrave (Entombed, Morbid Angel, etc.)

The band commented on the vinyl release:

"
After years of rabid fan demand for our debut to be committed to vinyl, we are proud to announce our partnership with Brutal Panda Records in order to make that a reality. The raw, death metal, purist production style of Erik Rutan paired with the artwork of the legendary Dan Seagrave realized to its full potential make The Conscious Seed of Light an obvious choice for the vinyl format. Thanks to BPR, the record will be released in three fantastic color varieties; green, clearwater blue with brown splatter (limited to 100 online only pieces), and classic black. We'll be unleashing these on the upcoming 'Godless Prophets & The Migrant Flora' tour alongside Darkest Hour, Rotten Sound, Tombs and Ringworm. Come out to a show and pick up a copy!"
