Rings Of Saturn - Ultu Ulla on CD

Description

Arriving back on the scene with their fourth full length studio album Ultu Ulla and now signed to Nuclear Blast Records as of May 2016, return Bay Area technical death core musicians RINGS OF SATURN. This self-dictated 'Alien death core' band present an entirely new and esoteric proposition to heavy metal. Always looking for new ways to expand upon their current sound, RINGS OF SATURN present a level of technical precision which is rare to see in modern death core. Currently, their lineup includes founding member Lucas Mann on guitar, Miles Dimitri Baker on guitar, Aaron Stechauner on drums, and vocalist Ian Bearer. This album cycle the guys deliver to us quite possibly their most polished sounding tracks yet. They showcase funky rhythm and skull crushing breakdowns that are so powerful they drag you to the ground while still lending the feeling of speeding through a math equation. As of May 2016, RINGS OF SATURN joined Nuclear Blast and delivered their latest creation: Ultu Ulla . Mastered yet again by Brette Ciamarra of Studio 344 in Pittsburgh PA, Ultu Ulla translates from ancient Sumerian Cuneiform to read "Time Immemorial." The concept of the album carries on from the aliens of Lugal Ki En who brought war upon the gods, and have now awakened "an inconceivable, long forgotten, all powerful entity that now threatens the very fabric of reality and is featured, emerging, in the middle of the album cover," describes Mann. With more hallucination inducing artwork by Mark Copper of Mind Rape Art, the Ultu Ulla album cover is made up of a three piece painting compared to the already complex two piece that is Lugal Ki En. "Mark has always been very effective in putting the band's musical and conceptual ideas into a visual art form that matches the complexity of our music with detail," says Mann. Ultu Ulla stands to be RINGS OF SATURN's best yet in terms of production quality, instrumental intricacy, and diverse sound patterns. With a new guitarist joining the quartet, the writing process this time around was different, but more versatile. Mann says: "this writing process was similar across the album in that we wanted to add a new layer of sound via synth that we haven't done before. Our inspiration is always experimentation, furthering our own sound and not sounding like anyone else." RINGS OF SATURN are a powerhouse of heaviness, mind bending theme, and unbridled technicality. "We're an experimental band and our fans know that. the most important part is to be able to express yourself during any point in your life through your music. We'll continue experimenting and reaching for new exciting things. Every single part of the album will have your blood pumping too hard: be careful when listening, please!" The invasion of RINGS OF SATURN is a permanent one, earthlings. Stay tuned to bear witness to the continual development of their incredible sound as the celestial bodies revolve!
