[DID NOT ATTEND: October 6, 2022] The Contortionist / Rivers of Nihil
I saw The Contortionist open for Animals as Leaders back in 2019.
I enjoyed them quite a lot and definitely wanted to see them again. I didn’t know much about them then and I pretty much forgot about them soon after the show.
But when I saw this tour and saw that they were playing two albums, Language & Exoplanet, in their entirety, I imagined it would be a pretty fun show–and the fans would be insane.
However, this show was scheduled for the same night as Cate Le Bon who I’d been wanting to see for a long time. So, Cate won out.
Rivers of Nihil is an American technical death metal band from Reading, Pennsylvania. I probably would have loved technical death metal if I’d heard it in college or high school, but I really just can’t get into it now. Although I do tend to enjoy this kind of thing live more than on record for the sheer spectacle.
