RINGS OF SATURN Release Lyric Video “Unsympathetic Intellect”
September 23, 2014, 9 years ago
With the October 14th release date for Rings Of Saturn's second LP, Lugal Ki En, rapidly approaching, another brand new single has been declassified and is now on public display through a lyric video for "Unsympathetic Intellect".
The ninth of the album's twelve tracks which unarguably display the band's most innovative and damaging material to date, "Unsympathetic Intellect" not only bears some of the most beautifully eerie passages and debilitating low-end drops of the entire Lugal Ki En, the lyric video brings the equally otherworldly album art to vibrant life while the song's lyrics inundate the listener from all angles, the video created by Alex T. Reinhard of Brutal Productions.
The band recently announced their next phase of widespread touring in support of Lugal Ki En, with another massive trek confirmed. Following their recent headlining month-long Face Implosion Tour, and direct support placement on the subsequent Summer Slaughter The Canada Club Tour, the tour will see Rings Of Saturn as special guest support for As Blood Runs Black for a five-week US run, also joined by Upon This Dawning, Elitist, The Convalescence and Those Who Fear for the majority of the tour. From October 23rd through November 29th, the thirty-city maelstrom will wind through the entire country and into Canada in a clockwise pattern, the mission beginning and concluding in California.
The previously announced Mexico tour Rings Of Saturn was to embark on in November has been canceled and is currently being rescheduled; stand by for more info on this and other ROS tour implementations in the weeks ahead.
