RIVERS OF NIHIL have launched their 2026 European summer tour today, June 12, opening with a Queensrÿche support slot at Essigfabrik in Köln, Germany. The run stretches through July 2 in Lindau and includes headline club dates alongside festival appearances at Into The Grave (NL), Hellfest (FR), Graspop (BE), and Tuska (FI). To mark the kickoff, the band has shared a live performance of "Hellbirds" filmed at a sold-out Tavastia in Helsinki, March 16, 2025. Their self-titled fifth album — released May 30, 2025 on Metal Blade Records — debuted at #2 on Billboard Hard Music Albums and #1 on Canada's Hard Music Albums chart.
