Lugal Ki En is the third album by American deathcore band Rings of Saturn released on October 14, 2014. It was produced by Brette Ciamarra at Studio 344 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and features guest solo work by Rusty Cooley from Day Of Reckoning and custom artwork by Mark Cooper of Mind Rape Art, who also created the band's Dingir cover. This album also features Aaron Kitcher from Infant Annihilator and Black Tongue on drums. Rings of Saturn decided to cover deathcore band Suicide Silence's No Pity For A Coward in dedication to Mitch Lucker. On October 6, 2014, Lucas Mann released a full album stream of the album on his YouTube channel, a week before its scheduled release for October 14 (US) and October 17 (EU).[1] The album reached 126 on the Billboard 200 chart.

Theme

Lead guitarist, Lucas Mann states that, “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.”[3]

Singles

On August 12th, 2014, a music video for the song "Senseless Massacre" was released on guitarist Lucas Mann's YouTube channel.[4]
