Never short of people discussing them, self-proclaimed ‘aliencore’ band Rings Of Saturn have confirmed the title and artwork for their new album Lugal Ki En, the follow up to 2013’s Dingir. The record is set for release this coming October, through Unique Leader Records, and comes with a complimentary mental concept behind it. Guitarist Lucas Mann states:
“The concept of the album in a nutshell is that long after the Aliens conquer humanity, they evolve to a point where they transcend space, time and reality to take their conquest into the realm of the gods where they wage war on angels and demons. The album title Lugal Ki En translates from ancient Sumerian Cuneiform to mean “King Of The Earthlings, Lord Of The Cosmic World.” The Sumerian Cuneiform is visible behind the English pronunciation of the album title.”
Indeed.
