History Rivers of Nihil was formed in 2009. They recorded their first EP Hierarchy later that year with Century vocalist Carson Slovak, who produced numerous works by other bands such as August Burns Red, Texas in July, and Black Crown Initiate (Slovak would later work with the bands on their second and third studio albums, adding writing credits to "Terrestria III: Wither" on Where Owls Know My Name). During this period the band opened shows for bands such as Decapitated, Decrepit Birth, Suffocation, Dying Fetus, and Misery Index. In 2011, the band worked with producer Len Carmichael to record their second EP Temporality Unbound. The album would spawn a music video for the song “(sin)Chronos". In February 2012, MetalSucks referred to Rivers of Nihil as the "best new Death metal band you'll hear this year". On
