Music Review — “Where Owls Know My Name” attempts to test the limits of progressive death metal music. Like many sounds from the genre, Rivers of Nihil have incorporated elements of jazz, electronica, and some ambience into many of the songs in the album.

Interview - How is your fall semester so far? It’s been interesting and busy, I am teaching five classes, and uh – so it’s a lot… but I think NJIT students are the best (laughs). I am just flattering you – but I really think very highly of them. Where did you go to school? My undergrad… Well, I will tell you. My undergrad was Brooklyn college, graduate was New York University and Columbia. You grew up in New York also?
"Climate change is real." "Relatively speaking, industrial farming is half-a-disaster, although very much essential for feeding future generations," and "our daily diet choices have an actual impact on the environment." All these statements have a high level of truth to them and are probably not new revelations to individuals generally conscious of environmental issues. Yet, most people are not fully aware of the effects of the choices they make concerning their diets.
