The delayed tour of Mexico headlined by RINGS OF SATURN with support from Lack Of Remorse and Victim Of Greed has been rescheduled, the destructive caravan set to invade the populations of Queretaro, Leon, Monterrey and Mexico City from December 4th through the 7th.
The news of the trek to Mexico comes as RINGS OF SATURN is already currently embarked on tour, supplying direct support for As Blood Runs Black on their headlining Ground Zero Album Release Tour across the entire US. The live actions coincide with the band’s critically acclaimed sophomore LP, Lugal Ki En, which upon its mid-October release through California’s Unique Leader Records decimated US album charts, taking the #116 spot on the Billboard top 200 chart, #3 on the Heatseekers/New Artist chart, #26 on the Independent album chart, landed at #12 on the Hard Music chart and #41 on the Rock chart.
A cataclysmic display of the Bay Area act’s most ferocious material yet, Lugal Ki En‘s relentless, cyber-infused deathcore destruction is based on a lyrical concept in which the Aliens wage war on the angels and demons of the universe after having conquered humanity. Metal Injection crowned the album with a 9/10 review, proclaiming, “Lugal Ki En is a refined and mature sounding Dingir. Speedy catchy riffs, fast beats, choppy transitions, and even some expressive timing is thrown in small segments enhancing specific qualities and making the entire album a rich experience… If technical extreme metal is a genre that you enjoy, there is no doubt Lugal Ki En will satisfy.” Another 9/10 write-up from TechnicalDeathMetal.com adds, “This time around RINGS OF SATURN let the songs evolve more naturally, and while the spastic bursts of jabbing high notes still exist, listeners can hear a variety of influences and new elements as well.” MetalSucks issued, “… it might be the heaviest thing laid down in years,” and Headbang Or GTFO’s 4.5/5 review states, “The band add a lot more to this album with background noise and technical guitar playing that actually feels natural this time around and not random wild guitar playing. Lugal Ki En is one of the better technical death metal albums of 2014 and their best album yet.”
Lugal Ki En is streaming in its entirety RIGHT HERE and the 3D video for “Senseless Massacre” is playing HERE. Orders for the album via iTunes can be placed HERE, and CD/LP merch bundles HERE.
