Adam Biggs shares the journey behind this monumental release, discussing the creative process, the challenges, and the immense satisfaction of seeing their art connect so deeply with a global audience. GWAR: Celebrating 40 Years of Intergalactic Mayhem From the nuanced brutality of progressive death metal, we pivot to the glorious, grotesque, and utterly inimitable world of GWAR! These rock legends continue their 40th-anniversary celebration with the release of their new single, “The Great Circus Train Disaster,” the second track unveiled from their upcoming multimedia release, ***The Return of Gor Gor***, out July 25th via Pit Records and Z2 Comics. The Legacy Continues For four decades, GWAR has been terrorizing stages, captivating audiences, and challenging societal norms with their unique blend of shock rock, satire, and theatrical spectacle. Their longevity is a testament to their unwavering commitment to their bizarre vision and their ability to consistently deliver unforgettable performances and undeniably catchy, heavy tracks. Grodius Maximus delves into the enduring legacy of GWAR, their creative process that seems to defy all earthly logic, and what it takes to maintain intergalactic supremacy for forty years. A Glimpse into The Return of Gor Gor The new single, “The Great Circus Train Disaster,” arrives with an animated adventure that perfectly captures the mayhem and madness only GWAR can deliver. Imagine a catastrophic circus train derailment involving flaming elephants, twisted clowns, and one extremely unlucky cotton candy vendor—it's all there, brought to life with GWAR's signature over-the-top style.

Today we are joined with Adam Biggs of Rivers Of Nihil as they are on the cusp of releasing their brand new self-titled album that is sonically one of the coolest things we've heard in metal all year. Around Adam breaking down how they evolved into this sound and direction we take a deep dive into other subjects such as Fantasy Vs Reality in lyrics, making music videos, modern media consumption, living in America, the state of our digital society, and he also leaves us with some advice for aspiring musicians. The new Rivers Of Nihil self-titled album is coming to your ears on May 30th via Metal Blade Records!

Interview by Angela CroudaceRivers of Nihil's self-titled album marks more than just another release in their discography—it signals a rebirth. Bassist and vocalist Adam Biggs, one of the band's founding members, sat down to talk about the evolution of the group, the challenges of stepping into a new vocal role, and crafting an album that captures both urgency and introspection.Following their conceptual four-album seasonal cycle, the band viewed Rivers of Nihil as a way to define who they are now. “It almost feels like our first record again,” Biggs explains. “We looked back at all the eras of the band and pulled what worked best. This is Rivers of Nihil as it stands now.”A major shift came with Biggs taking on full-time vocal duties after the departure of their previous frontman. It's been a challenging transition. “It took a lot of practice and trial and error with my voice,” he admits. Balancing demanding vocals with intricate bass lines required intense focus and routine—but now, he says, “it's starting to feel more natural.”New blood also brought fresh energy. Guitarist and vocalist Andy Thomas officially joined the line up, contributing not just riffs, but his distinct voice. “I wanted to rise to the challenge,” Biggs says. “I wanted him to do awesome work with us.”The new album is both heavy and hauntingly relevant. “The theme is sort of this macro danger of modern life,” Biggs explains. “Fear of war, pandemics, political unrest. But we try to approach it from a human perspective—there's paranoia, yes, but also a thread of hope.”Instrumentation expands too, with banjo, cello, and a new saxophonist adding depth. But unlike previous records, the band prioritised how the songs would hit live. “We wanted this to go over in a room full of excited, sweaty people,” Biggs laughs.At its heart, Rivers of Nihil is an album born of evolution, resilience, and reflection—a fitting fresh start for a band that refuses to stand still.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Interview by Kris PetersYou certainly can't accuse Melbourne rock/metal hybrid Ne Obliviscaris from doing things in shades.After four long years - their last Australian tour was in 2019 - Ne Obliviscaris has announced a run of four dates this September, bringing with them an international assortment of fellow metallers in The Ocean Collective and Rivers Of Nihil.The last time Rivers Of Nihil were out here was actually on that tour, when they made their debut Down Under and left a trail of sonic devastation in their wake.Despite the Exul tour, named after Ne Obliviscaris' recent album, being a homecoming of sorts for the hometown heroes, many punters are just as excited to see the return of Rivers Of Nihil - who are armed with their own new album The Work - with bassist/backing vocalist Adam Biggs joining HEAVY to discuss things more."It is how it is," he shrugged when asked if the run of four shows in five days would be draining. "We always just keep track of things and do the shows... it's the job (smiles). It will be an awesome five days I'm sure."We ask if he thinks Ne Obliviscaris will be hitting the stage with a point to prove after so long away."Hopefully," he laughed. "Hopefully they come out with some motivation and some will to kick some ass. I'm sure we will as well. It's been a little while for us too. I wanna see everybody really motivated on these shows to give the crowd the best of the best they can."In the full interview we discuss Rivers Of Nihil's first trip to Australia with Ne Obliviscaris and what they were like to tour with, playing with The Ocean Collective and what they are expecting, what to expect from Rivers Of Nihil live, the diversity of bands on the line-up and how important that is, their new album The Work and how much of that we are likely to be hearing, their most recent single The Sub Orbital Blues and if that is a stand alone single or part of the next album cycle, what's next for Rivers Of Nihil and more.

Rivers Of Nihil's fourth studio album The Work has been out a number of weeks now and has divided opinions of both fans and critics alike.It is definitely an album that requires several listens to get full appreciation, with Bass player and vocalist Adam Biggs joining HEAVY to chat about the album and people's thoughts."It's been... pretty much to a T what I was expecting," he laughed, "scarily for the most. But I think that's a good thing. I knew the record would be divisive, which is a word people keep using to describe it. I knew it would split some people and I knew that people would hear a couple of songs from singles we've put out and videos and probably build one impression and then be pulled into another impression when they heard the whole thing. It seems that even in the short time it's been out, from the time it came out to now people are really gotten more and more receptive to it. At first people would seem like the road was swept out from under them and a lot of people were bewildered but as time goes on I see more and more people clicking with it and I kind of knew that it was going to be a grower for a lot of people."In the full interview, Adam talks about the diversification on the album, the prevelance of more clean vocals, extra bits such as saxophone and cello and why Rivers Of Nihil decided to explore these instruments, the central concept of the album and how to decipher it, writing music that maintains a sense of ambiguity while still being accessible, future plans and more.

Their fans are open to whatever wild ideas and experimentation the group wish to utilize, and they're patient with the creative process. It doesn't matter if the group takes one year to write a record or three. Rivers Of Nihil fans will wait because they know the final product will be great. Rivers Of Nihil will release their long-awaited new album, The Work, on September 24. The ambitious LP explores the necessary regimen behind progress. The album is about doing 'the work' of being an artist in a very literal sense. There is no finish line or mountain top for a group such as Rivers Of Nihil, and their sole mission is to continue excavating the depths of their creativity until they die or run out of ideas. It's an endless pursuit for a group that is nothing more than a constant work in progress, and they wouldn't want it any other way. On this episode of Inside Music, host James Shotwell visits Rivers Of Nihil during a recent tour stop in West Michigan. Bassist Adam Biggs opens up about doing 'The Work,' returning to the road, and how songwriting works within the band. Biggs shares insight into how Rivers Of Nihil approach concept record, as well as the lessons he's learned trying to promote a unique sound in a cluttered music market.
