Rings of Saturn is an American technical death metal/deathcore band from Dublin, California, founded in 2009.

Biography
Rings of Saturn was formed in 2009 by main songwriter Lucas Mann, drummer Brent Silletto, and vocalist Peter Pawlak in Dublin, California. They released a rough demo track of "Abducted" on their band's Myspace page, which received great response from the social networking community, and helped them to slowly build a following. After some hard promotion, they self released their full length album "Embryonic Anomaly" in 2010. The album was met with much critical acclaim in the underground metal community. Around this time, they also added second guitarist Joel Omans. In return, this gained them attention from Unique Leader Records, who signed them and re-released Embryonic Anomaly in March 2011.

After the album was released, they played several notable slots in 2011, including a Oakland show in July with Animals As Leaders and Intronaut, along with being featured on the Slaughter Survivors Tour with Conducting From The Grave, The Contortionist, and Scale The Summit. After this tour, drummer Brent Silletto left the band and was replaced with drummer Ron Casey, and bassist Jeff Hughell joined the band as a session member for the Carnival is Forever tour with Decapitated, Decrepit Birth, and Fleshgod Apocalypse.

Following the Carnival is Forever tour, vocalist Peter Pawlak left the band to continue studies at San Francisco State University, and was replaced with vocalist Ian Bearer of Pennsylvania. In spring 2012, they embarked on the Occupation Domination Tour with Origin, Cattle Decapitation, Decrepit Birth, Aborted, and Battlecross. Currently in 2012, the band is about to go on tour with Carnifex and I Declare War, along with a few opening dates on the Summer Slaughter Tour. They are also looking for a replacement drummer, since drummer Ron Casey left the band after the Origin tour because of creative differences.
