Bay Area sci-fi death battalion, Rings Of Saturn, has invaded the nation's rock charts, with the first week's numbers for Lugal Ki En having landed this week.

Following its North American release through Unique Leader Records on October 14th, Rings Of Saturn's remorseless third full-length, Lugal Ki En, took the #116 spot on the Billboard top 200 chart, #3 on the Heatseekers/New Artist chart and #26 on the Independent album chart. The album also slaughtered the Hard Music chart taking the #12 position, as well as #41 on the Rock chart.

A cataclysmic display of Rings Of Saturn's most vicious material yet, Lugal Ki En surges with nearly 45 minutes of cyber-infused deathcore destruction, based on a lyrical concept in which the Aliens wage war on the angels and demons of the universe after having conquered humanity. The album was produced by Brette Ciamarra at Studio 344 (Kamikabe, Those Who Fear, Trophies), and features conceptual art pieces by Mark Cooper of Mind Rape Art. The LP version of Lugal Ki En comes in two limited edition color varieties - purple and four-color splatter - bound in a gatefold sleeve with a digital download card.

In live news, Rings Of Saturn has embarked on their new invasion of the population, as their tour as guest support for As Blood Runs Black began this evening, October 23rd, in Simi Valley, California. The tour will systematically waste thirty American cities as it winds through the entire county before closing down in Anaheim back in California on November 29th, with additional support from Upon This Dawning, Elitist, The Convalescence, and Those Who Fear on select dates. Additionally, Rings Of Saturn has scheduled three off-tour headlining dates without the rest of the tour package, in Cheyenne, Milwaukee and Pensacola on October 28th, November 3rd, and November 23rd respsectively.
