Nuclear Blast welcomes the arrival of Bay Area death-metallers / "Aliencore" quartet, Rings Of Saturn. Check out the the announcement video below.

"We are proud to announce that we have signed a world wide record deal with the biggest independent label in the universe, Nuclear Blast!," comments Rings Of Saturn mastermind Lucas Mann. "We look forward to working with them to bring you our craziest material yet!"

Formed in 2009 as a studio project, California based Rings Of Saturn is the brainchild of Lucas Mann. The band self-released their first full-length album entitled Embryonic Anomaly in late 2009 and was re-released internationally on May 28th, 2010. Since then, Rings Of Saturn has been hard at work touring nationally throughout the United States and Canada promoting Dingir (din-jeer) as well as their latest album release entitled Lugal Ki En which was released October 2014.

With the release of Lugal Ki En, Rings Of Saturn branched out touring including a US tour with As Blood Runs Black at the end of 2014, an appearance at the 2015 edition of Knotfest, a US Tour with the Faceless in 2015 and their first and very successful European Tour early 2016 with Aversion’s Crown. 2016 will see the band embark on another North American tour before heading back into the studio to record their 4th full-length album which will be released on Nuclear Blast.

Rings Of Saturn launch their Space Slam North American headlining tour this Saturday, May 21st at Rock N' Derby in Schaghticoke, New York. Joining them on the trek is The Browning and Lorna Shore. In June, the band will be direct support for Winds Of Plague on the Time To Reap tour.
