| Release Notes \
---------------+
Rivers of Nihil have grown since Monarchy, and Where Owls Know My Name is
more mature and nuanced than either of the band's previous records. Songs
like "A Home" hit their emotional marks consistently and feel grounded.
Rivers of Nihil have always tried to lend a sense of scope to their music,
and here more the ever before they succeed. Yet this still is Rivers of
Nihil, and lazy riffing severely impacts several songs. For all of the talk
of technical death metal, passages of guitar work more complex than that
found on your average atmospheric black metal record can be hard to find on
Where Owls Know My Name. In fact, if the guitarists picked up their wrists
a little this would sell pretty well under such a label. There's no need
for a band to play anything fancy to make a worthwhile piece of music of
course, but endless strings of quarter-note chugs and trem-picked chords
that change on bar lines make for a bland album.
It's a good thing, then, that Rivers of Nihil went full prog and enlisted a
few wind players to spice up their tepid compositions. The counterpoint
between dry chugging and lush, atmospheric passages of saxophone rambling,
harmon-muteed trumpet, and pensive clean guitar proves to be the album's
greatest compositional move. Indeed it is the best provisioner of momentum
the album has - take "Terrestria III: Wither," an instrumental that
foregoes the band's usual focus for an atmospheric trio of saxophone,
trumpet and viola. It would be quite beautiful were it not covered in an
industrial drumbeat and, of course, extremely loud. Other prog
contributions - the saxophone in the title track, for instance, and almost
the entirety of "Subtle Change Including the Forest of Transition and
Dissatisfaction Dance" - feel somewhat incompletely integrated into their
songs. It's great to bring in guests to solo on your album, but one has to
ask themselves what role the saxophone plays on this album.
