Rivers Of Nihil is arguably one of Metal Blade’s finest recent death metal signings. While the Reading, PA five piece’s first full-length offering The Conscious Seed Of Light (out on October 15) captures the brutality of classic death metal, it also blends in the heaviest elements of black metal. So it’s no given that guitarist Jon Kunz is a black metal fanatic. With that in mind, we asked Kunz to share with us his five current favorite black metal releases.

Check out Kunz’s current top five favorite black metal releases (in no particular order) by clicking on the page tabs below. And make sure to catch Rivers Of Nihil on tour now with Beneath the Massacre and Legion (as well as Dying Fetus and Exhumed later this month). Also check out snippets of each song from The Conscious Seed Of Light below.
