A lot of the songs that ended up being on that record had parts on it that were written before Rivers of Nihil even existed. We had only really done eps up until that point, so it was like what, 10 songs, that’s insane. It seemed like an insane chore to us at the time, so a lot of the stuff that’s on that record, some of it was written pretty close to the time that it was recorded and that other stuff was written five or six years beforehand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are songs on that record that are much stronger than others, in my opinion. Like, I think “Rain Eater” is a strong one. That’s one of the better songs on the record. Same thing with “Soil and Seed”. I mean, “Soil and Seed” is the only song from that record that we will still occasionally play live. So I think that the first record was really just an exercise in us figuring out what we wanted to sound like. Did we want to be like a hyper-tech band? Did we want to be like a more atmospheric kind of post-mealty sort of death metal band? Did we wanna be like more like Morbid Angel kind of vein sort of band? We didn’t know. There are so many different influences on that record that it’s a little A.D.D at times, I think.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI just kind of see it as the real experimentation phase for the band. Everything was new, you know? We just signed with a label. We had never made a record, and we’re making a record with Erik Rutan. We used to watch the Cannibal Corpse DVDs and be like, man, that would be cool to like record an album with Erik one day, and here we are doing it. It was all so new, so we really didn’t know what we were doing during that time. We were just trying to figure it out. So I think that that first record was really just us trying to figure out what we were going to do, really.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACK LIST:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTerrestria I: Thaw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRain Eater\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBirth of the Omnisavior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Seed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentral Antheneum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMechanical Trees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlace of Serpents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHuman Adaptation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Fertile Altar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAirless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"METAL BLADE","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44457534259299,"sku":"039841623024","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/2553\/7123\/files\/image_63785a25-bf9e-4bc2-a6c3-195320103c89.jpg?v=1786332185","url":"https:\/\/lunchboxrecords.com\/products\/039841623024","provider":"Lunchbox Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
