RIVERS OF NIHIL kündigen für den 24. September ihren vierten Longplayer „The Work“ an. Glaubt man der Ankündigung, sollen neben der gewohnten Brutalität auch sanftere, sphärische Töne und Cleanvocals zum Zuge kommen aber Veränderungen ist man bei den „Pennsylvania-Five“ ja gewöhnt. Die erste Video-Single ‘Clean’ gibt euch einen Eindruck vom kommenden Material.

Lyrics:

I want your money, your time.

I want your patience and your pride

I’m a restless innovator

And I’m working over time

So Heaven help me

(heaven help me)

And the dollar defend me

(dollar defend me)

 

There is nothing you can sell me

that I ain’t got now

I can still do the work

But it gets harder, I can tell ‘ya

 

It ain’t perfect but it’s what we got

Is it enough for you?

 

Now I live among this filth

And I’m richer for it still

 

The rushing

And reeling

But now she’s coming home to me

The rushing

And reeling

And she’ll be perfect and so clean

 

Reveling

In this filth

 

This stain

 

Reveling

In this filth

 

Circle the drain

 

Circling

 

Heaven help

Clean this mess

Heaven help

 

We’ll never be clean again

 

Cold

A constant- steady breath

Clean- ‘til there’s nothing left

In sorrow

And shame

I whisper out a name

This anger makes it’s claim

We’ll never be clean again

 

Yeah we’ll never be clean

Yeah we’ll never be clean again

 

The rushing

And reeling

She can’t believe this feeling

We’re weightless

And tasteless

This god’s not what she made us

 

But now she’s coming home to me

And she’ll be perfect and so clean

 

Reveling

In this filth

 

This stain

 

Reveling

In this filth

 

Circle the drain

 

Circling

 

Heaven help

Clean this mess

Heaven help

 

We’ll never be clean again
