ULTU ULLA

Rings of Saturn is a technical death metal and deathcore that plays very technical guitar and drum parts. I don't know how to describe this band. They make very weird sounds on the guitar that sounds like alien noises or a weird spaceship, all accompanied by blast beats and machine-gun drums. The singer also never sings clean. It's either low growls or high screeching. Also common are low guitar riffs which are typically low deathcore chugs that sometimes use the djent technique to make them sound lower and heavier. Their album art is also reminiscent of old progressive rock album art, that is, it's very abstract and catches your eye. Keyboard parts aren't uncommon either. All of these are used on all of their albums but we are talking about their album Ultu Ulla.

Ultu Ulla is one of their studio albums. Released in 2017, it has all the things that were listed above. The only way you can truly experience this band is by listening to their albums all the way through, a difficult task for someone who never listens to the heavier side of progressive metal. For an idea, if Opeth is the heaviest progressive metal band you listen to, you won't even have a chance with this band. They are that heavy. This album in particular has acoustic guitar, and even some melody at some points throughout, hard to believe, isn't it?

Like I said before, the only way to experience Rings of Saturn is to hear one of their albums all the way through. If you can get through even the first song, you will be amazed at the bands sound and the members technical skill on their instruments. Pretty good playing, considering the members are still very young. For the heavy progressive metal fans only.
