I haven't enjoyed a Death Metal album this much since "Monarchy" or, Job For A Cowboy's "Sun Eater". WOKMN is truly a masterpiece, it flows effortlessly from song to song. Also the use of clean vocals adds a whole new dimension to Rivers Of Nihil's sound, the bass, guitar, and drum work and overall writing and lyrics is truly incredible. I highly recommend this album to anyone, support Rivers Of Nihil by buying some merch!
I wonder if these guys realize how good this album really is. It’s totally next level brilliant stuff. This is going to be an album people go back to years from now.
I ordered this album on vinyl as soon as I heard The Silent Life before it came out. Honestly, Ive been through a lot of shit recently and this record has helped me so much. I really hope I can elaborate in person some day. Thanks
Vocalist shook my hand and then kissed it after the show in Joliet, IL this year. I was like a giddy little school girl. Thanks for the lifelong memory.
Man this record is so awesome. It's simple and groove, yet very interesting and brutal. It got so much to discover, even if you have listen to it several times. This will be my death metal record of the year for sure! For the 'making of'-Video I had wished a bit more of actual studio footage. Showing the band tracking the song and stuff. It's way more enjoyable than these long interviews. Even though there interesting.
I really enjoyed this album it was solid from beginning to end. Iv been hooked since seeing you guys live. That being said I think that atmospheric vibe and build up of the final few songs from Monarchy top this one. Maybe I need to digest this one a little more but just my opinion. Thanks guys for the incredible mucic keep it up!🤘🤘
One of the best albums of all time. Hands down album of the year material. This album fucking delivers. I’ve listened to it countless times and I still get the chills when I hear it. It’s perfect
Very, very well done documentary. You can tell from both listening to the album and hearing from the guys, that this album was really from the heart, where emotions that are less aggressive were allowed to come to the front for the first time. Although I am in the minority of not being a huge fan of the album overall (the sax, trumpet and clean vocals are hard to listen to and seem out of place most of the time), I can totally appreciate a bunch of guys wanting to try to do something new, to go into uncharted waters without a life jacket and see what happens. Huge respect for having the courage to just go for it.
Just listened to you guys the other night for the first time because of a friends recommendation. Mind is fucking blown...and your entire catalog is just amazing! Would love to see you guys live.
This album is soooo fucking good!!! Havent given this band too much of a shot... then listened to this album and was blown away... going back to listen to their last 2, i think? Such a good album from front to back! Love it! Around 8:00-9:00 minutes in, this album was so epic, even biggs didnt realize it until it was damn near through... seems that way for more then 1 band member here... hmm... lol
I swear I've never watched this video before and I know nothing about this band but in my head I thought "purple" right before he said it. I don't even know how....
waiting for a remix where the drums aren't so obviously sampled... Really ruins the record for me, while it's pretty cool musically. Love the fact that you made a documentary about this record though, I feel like this is gonna be huge for the band. I've seen so much positive feedback about the record

Definitely album of the year, and probably one of the best death metal albums of the decade
I would go as far as saying it is the best metal album of the decade.
Gil Millán seeing as how this album is pretty similar to ihsahns 2010 release I can’t say it’s the best of the decade
This album is nothing short of brilliant. Best thing I have heard in a while

An album that truly transcends the musical realm.
"All of the pain that you've felt now isn't real, it never was".
I love making of documentaries. Doesn’t matter the band.
I'm with you on this. Totally a sucker for music
This album is beyond AOTY.
Thanks for the fresh breeze in the death metal scene.
That jaw pop Brody did at 29:25 was kinda brutal.
And thus a masterpiece was born!
Wow what a treat! Thanks for one of the best albums of the year! 🤘🏻
That's how this MASTERPIECE was made!!!

"Jake, what's your favorite color?"
Jake: *Smiles from ear to ear* "Purple"
HE'S A PRECIOUS GIFT THIS WORLD DOESN'T DESERVE!!!
Right 🤣
I wonder if they knew they were making a masterpiece during this process.
One of my favorite albums of all time. What a masterpiece!
one of the best metal albums made in the last decade, hands down. Great band, great energy, awesome creativity and POWER!

spacecadetz21 awwe!!
Just got to hear WOKMN live last week and I'm still in awe. This band is going places and I can't wait to see where.
Best Death album of 2018
A GREAT ALBUM \M/❤❤❤

Album of the year? Fuck that this album made it into my top five of all time list!
Sickest album released on my Birthday and it's green which is so happened to be my favorite color. Perfect
\m/
Hardly a making of, more like a 40 minute interview. Still enjoyable just putting it out there.
Does Biggs play for Lynard Skynard on the weekends?
Zenith Passage yeah guys check out my weekend gig LYNARD SKYNARD.
I thought I seen you in the Early Meshuggah Music Videos New Millennium Cyanide Christ
awesome to see andy's vocal parts unprocessed. album is stellar
One of the best albums of all time. Hands down album of the year material. This album fucking delivers. I’ve listened to it countless times and I still get the chills when I hear it. It’s perfect
When an album sets in your mind the definition of music.....Album Of The Year so far for me hands down ..
@morbidcorpse man you really liked replying the same thing to multiple peoples' opinions eh? 😂 enjoy the tunes that speak to you man

hell yes. nothing better than a making of documentary, especially for such a great album. I've got it right below BTBAM for the year
Thanks for great album. Brilliant music.
Just found this album/band earlier today. What a good time to see this as well!
How did I not know this existed until now? I love it
I gladly own a signed copy of where owls know my name. Can’t wait for their next one. I told Jake to put out another album of the year.
Metal Blade -Thank you for this
Love seeing the inside workings , way to go guys
Amazing body of work guys. Always love listening to your albums!
Just listened to you guys the other night for the first time because of a friends recommendation. Mind is fucking blown...and your entire catalog is just amazing! Would love to see you guys live.
Love this album so much guys, keep doing what you do. Cant wait to dig into your discography! 🤘
Recently discovered the album, you guys did a great job! Big fan of your latest work!
Eat an uncomfortable amount of shrooms and listen to this album start to Finnish it will change your life
Do u always puke when good bands release great albums?
So this has been my first shot at growl-driven/death and I'm quite in love already
Thank you, the documentary and album are ingenious
Album of the fucking year!!!!
Totally open to new sound boundaries with the band!
Album of the year so far for sure
This album is soooo fucking good!!! Havent given this band too much of a shot... then listened to this album and was blown away... going back to listen to their last 2, i think? Such a good album from front to back! Love it!

this record is ballin my doods
Great album! Just great!
They played an instrumental set in Toronto a little bit ago, it was fucking amazing
Still the best album around
...I just noticed from the future, December 2021, how many times each member said "The Work". Strange given the title of their latest...
Fucking magnificant album
Love the fact that I have a signed copy of Owls
Nice, are y’all from PA? I think I watched a performance back in the day with my son in Reading
sick album, sick lads
Holy shit the sax guy went to Westchester? I have a few friends that go there
Soooo, we could hope for some Dev vocals on the Winter record.
They’re definitely the pink Floyd of death metal.
Video guy where is your lapel mic for these interviews
Is that a Shure SM58 at 1:12 on the snare ?
Really hoping "The work" is as deep as this album was. 9/10
nice aepoch shirt
I swear I've never watched this video before and I know nothing about this band but in my head I thought "purple" right before he said it. I don't even know how....
"yes, rush, pink floyd"
nothing to say anymore 10/10 =)
What's the song at 0:12 seconds?
Anyone know how much cost to make a album?
Is that a megalithic wall with no mortar behind you???
waiting for a remix where the drums aren't so obviously sampled... Really ruins the record for me, while it's pretty cool musically. Love the fact that you made a documentary about this record though, I feel like this is gonna be huge for the band. I've seen so much positive feedback about the record
9:38 story of my fucking life lol
fucking great man!
Love these guys but I dare you to count how many times they all said like
Hey Rivers Of Nihil, are you into Riverside? Cause some parts of WOKMN (beggining of Subtle Change for example) may suggest that you, in fact, are.
"Oh, I forgoooghd..."
There are a lot of little bugs flying around.
a wha... a bu.... Andy's beard!!!!!!!!
portuguese sublites please!!! ;-; i love this album
fuck! yeah! what an album! history is written here. and Devin would be great in it! :D shame on him
I found my dyiad on dyiadspace.

AOTY \m/ \m/
I thought “A Home” was about drug use.
