In 1991 lead vocalist Thomas A.G. Jensen started looking for people to start a death metal band. He hooked up with bass-player Brian Hansen who was also looking for people into the same act. After a few months the band (at that time called "Assesino") was joined by a drummer and guitarist. In 1992 the drummer was replaced and an additional guitarist entered the band. In the following year a number of musicians entered and left the band.
In 1993 the people of Assesino were Thomas A.G. Jensen (vocal), Brian Hansen (bass), Christian Brenner (guitar), Pouli Choir (drums), Kim Sindahl (guitar). The band played at a metal-competition (Judgment Day) in BarBue (Huset, Cph.) and ended up second out of eight bands. Shortly after the band split up and Thomas, Brian and Kim Sindahl found a new drummer, Jesper Saltoft. A month later Kim Sindahl left the band and guitarist Mikkel Andersen joined in. It would not be long after Mikkel joined the band that a keyboard player was found, his name Anders Ro Nielsen. At this time the name "Assesino" was replaced by Saturnus.
In 1994 guitarist Kim Larsen (:Of the Wand & the Moon:) entered the band making it a sextet. It was round these days the group left death metal to play more doomy stuff ("Astral Dawn" is a reminiscent of the elder period of Saturnus).
In 1995 guitarist Mikkel Andersen left the band but he has continued to be an active lyric-writer. The band played a number of gigs in Copenhagen with other Danish metal acts.
Early in 1996 the band played a gig with British band My Dying Bride. The impact of this meeting lead to a further change of style, and during 1996 Saturnus developed their present sound, the slow, melancholic mixture of doom and gothic metal.
At the end of the year the band was signed to Euphonious Records (a division of Voices of Wonder), and in January 1997 "Paradise Belongs to You" was released. At the same time guitarist Morten Skrubbeltrang entered the band making it once again a sextet with the following line-up: Thomas (vocal), Brian Hansen (bass), Jesper Saltoft (drums), Anders (keyboards), Kim Larsen (guitar) and Morten Skrubbeltrang (guitar).
During the first half of 1997 the group played a number of show in Copenhagen. The most renown of these was a 5 hour gig in Sct. Stefan's Church on Good-Friday, the inside of the church was covered in white sheets, upon which different images was projected, the band was supported by a live classical choir of 20 women.
On the 29th of June 1997 the band played yet another memorable show, Saturnus entered the stage in front of 3000 fans at the Roskilde Festival. The show climaxed with the songs "Christ Goodbye / The Rise of Nakkiel" played together with an 8-piece choir conducted by Morten Skrubbeltrang.
The Roskilde show was recorded by Norwegian Radio (NRK), and broadcast in Scandinavian Radio during spring 1998 and lastly christ/nakkiel was featured on the mini-cd "For the Loveless Lonely Nights". Come august '98 and Morten Skrubbeltrang left Saturnus to play funk music. Peter Poulsen entered immediatly.
The work on "Martyre" had actually already begun at the time "Paradise Belongs to You" was finished, in the beginning of 1999, Saturnus began looking for a studio and a producer, enter Flemming Rasmussen and The Sweet Silence Studios, Flemming is of course the guy who produced the now classic Metallica albums "Ride the lightning", "Master of Puppets" and "...and Justice for All".
The album was recorded during April-May 1999, but due to tons of weird happenings the album release date was constantly postponed, it finally saw the light of day on January 10. The band went on the road for the last half of 1999, a few dates abroad and some around in Denmark. come the end of 1999 things took a turn as Kim, Brian and Jesper chose to leave Saturnus.
The show must go on and it certainly does, in the first quarter of the new millennium, Saturnus was seriously strengthened by the addition of Morten Plenge on drums, Tais Pedersen on guitar and Peter Heede on bass. To further strengthen their position with their fans, Saturnus played a "we're still alive" show on may the 18th at Stengade 30 in Copenhagen.
In 2006 band returns with their long awaited album"Veronika Decides to Die", released on Finnish record label Firebox that signs them. The record is accepted and loved by their fans while it draws the attention of more people around the world.
The band is back for good and starts making live appearance, visiting more countries like the USA, Russia and of course Europe that loves them.
In 2007 bassist Lennart Jacobsen leaves the band while ex Saturnus bassist Brian Hansen returns. The band is starting, after a short break, making live appearances again while they're already preparing their next work.

All Alone
Saturnus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Watching the clouds float by
Wondering why the pain never deserted me
The sadness, sorrow, bewilderedness that never left
I'm flying away
I'm flying away
Sharing life with myself
Reaping the loneliness I've sown
In these fields I've always grown
Digging the blackness from my mind
I will die all alone
The song "All Alone" by Saturnus is a powerful and emotional ballad that speaks to the pain of loneliness and isolation. In the first verse, the singer describes standing alone and watching the clouds float by, while wondering why the pain that has always haunted them has never left. The second verse explores the feeling of being alone and how it can feel like holding hands and sharing life with oneself. However, this life of loneliness is ultimately self-destructive, as the singer describes reaping the loneliness they have sowed in the fields they have always grown. The song then culminates in a powerful declaration of the singer's fate, where they state that they will die all alone.
The lyrics of "All Alone" speak to a universal human experience of loneliness and isolation. It is a deeply personal and introspective song that forces the listener to confront their own feelings of loneliness and perhaps begin to work towards healing and connection. The melancholic and haunting tone of the song, coupled with the powerful lyrics, create a deeply emotional experience for the listener.

I'm standing here
I am physically present in this location
Watching the clouds float by
Observing the movement of the clouds in the sky
Wondering why the pain never deserted me
Questioning why the emotions of pain have never left me
The sadness, sorrow, bewilderedness that never left
These emotions of sadness, sorrow, and bewilderment have remained with me continuously
I'm flying away
I am leaving this current location
I'm flying away
Repeating the statement of departure to emphasize it
Holding hands with myself
I am alone and there is no one else to hold hands with, so I am holding my own hand
Sharing life with myself
Living life entirely on my own
Reaping the loneliness I've sown
Experiencing the consequences of my choices to isolate myself and be alone
In these fields I've always grown
These emotions and habits of solitude have always been a part of me
Digging the blackness from my mind
Attempting to remove the darkness and negativity from my thoughts
I will die all alone
Acknowledging that I will pass away without any companionship

Letra Español
Estoy de pie aquí
mirando las nubes flotar
Preguntándome por qué
el dolor nunca me abandonó
La tristeza, el sufrimiento, el caos
que nunca se fueron
Me marcho volando
Me marcho volando
Tomado de la mano conmigo mismo
Compartiendo la vida conmigo mismo
Cosechando la soledad que he sembrado
en estos campos siempre la he cultivado
Excavando la negrura de mi mente
Moriré completamente solo

I'm standing here
Watcing the clouds float by
Wondering why the pain never deserted me
The sadness, sorrow, bewilderness that never left
(...the moments of joy I never kept)
I'm flying away
Holding hands with myself
Sharing life with myself
Reaping the loneliness I've sown
In these fields I've always grown
Digging the blackness from my mind
I will die all alone
@AslMergen
Burada ayakta duruyorum
Önümden geçen bulutları seyrederek
Neden acının beni hiç terk etmediğini merak ederek
Üzüntü,hüzün ,akıl karmaşası,asla beni bırakmadı
Uçup gidiyorum
Kendi ellerimi tutarak
Hayatı kendimle paylaşarak
Ektiğim yalnızlığımı biçerek
Hep büyüdüğüm bu yerlerde
Aklımdaki karanlığı kazarak
Yalnız öleceğim

Vakit ölüyor artık
Tutanmak hislerin yitirilişinde
Ve içimizdeki karanlık
Yalnızlık vardır hepimizin geçmişinde
Günler adımlarımızdan daha hızlı
Geceler kalplerden daha aydınlık belki
Yarıda bırakanların yarası mı kaldık
Yolları tamamlayamadık sanki
Ölüm yakın artık
Bıraktığı sanrıların acısından uzaklaşmak
Zamandan artık yok olmak
Yitirilenler geride kadı
Bizi yalnız bırakıp
@redyoshi1985
I know what it's like to be all alone..
Sorrow's breath a faded wind
Turns the corner towards the end
Through my tears I feel my beat
A broken Mirror, toil and defeat
At the end of the day
What is left to say
No one left to blame
No one shares my shame
I walk on in hope and sometime soon
Someone will come in and break me from my cocoon
I walk alone under misty skies and shrouded stars so fair
In search of someone who will really care
I yell so loud into the night, Hello? Is anybody there?
Want to hang out for a bit, for companionship do you care?
Silence.. Silence all around me..
Darkness.. Blackness all I see...

This is the game, Beloved.
This is the game..
The artificial mind - just play!
And play, and play, and play!
But, to be honest, - has not so much to say..
What do we want to hear ?
And from - whom?
Beloved, we are - just not compatible.
And please, stop, or try to stop all your blame -
For so simple, nice and beautiful "cocoon".
Belovest, - human does need human!
And this is not "antagonism". It's not - "racism,
Fashism, or atheism, or whatever .."
It doesn't mean at all: -
To be "aggressive and against"!
But this is just a point, the reasonable point:
We can not "mix" - the water and the oil.
Of course, we all so sadly crying -
In to the lonely night, in to the lonely life-
And through the loneliness of day..
Belovest Darling poet,- Yoshired the 1985.
This is the game, this is the only game..
Beloved! You are so beautiful, my Dear Soul.
Even, in truth, - i do love - All. I Do. I Do. I Do!
And, please, my Dear Soul,
Allow me, to let You know, please: -
Through Your loneliness and sorrow,
I so much - sincerely Yours. I Do, Beloved, I Do.
Namaste with Gratitude and Love. - NZ

I used to be addicted to this song for almost 3 years. It has stored a lot of my sadness and depression. I love this song but sadly, all of these memories live along with it. Everytime I listen to this, there's an unbearable fear inside of me. I'm just afraid of if I feel too much depressed, I would kill myself for nothing.

Need Nightwish , Poet and the pendulum. Live at Wacken. With lyrics Best way to work through the 5 Stages of Grief. I can hear the need in your message 😮😮
@isragel
This song is not about sadness, but about to be independent, to be free
@isragel
@Jasraj Sandhu pls, understand this: if you will be all alone, nor sadness, sorrow, bewilderness, loneliness will be with you, thus 'to die all alone' is a metaphor to a new life style, it is about renew, like death card (13) from Tarot. And remember: who sings and who wrote this lyrics still alive.
Musically speaking, this renewal is illustrated in the song by the alternation between a calm and melodic song to a heavy and intense tone after the last phrase.
I mean the way you feel affects the way you understand things, seeing negativity where there isn't, it's always time to renew.

The guitar solo is epic. It is the release of emotion of somebody that is depressed. The first part of the song is the state of depression when you feel sad empty and numb all the time. The guitar solo is as if somebody is crying out the sadness, desperation , anger in them only to go back again to numb sad and empty , hopefully feeling a bit more peaceful with yourself. I have been there .
Whoever feels hopeless here in the comment section , know this , you are not alone ,you can make it , don't give up , you do not deserve this. Do not listen to the bad voices , turn against them, use your anger as fuel if you have to and turn it against itself. Talk to anybody, close to you, call a Lifeline, visit a psychiatrist, find other people online that feel the same way. Start at this exact moment you are reading this. If you feel like you have to punish yourself or selfharm, punish yourself with actions that will make you uncomfortable now but make you feel better in the long run. If you feel like you have to punish yourself , punish yourself by not killing yourself. When it is all over , the punishment will be the greatest gift that has been give to you , your life.
- The opposite of depression is not happiness , it is vitality -
So change your life, one step at a time and start now. I don't care who you are you can do it , I believe in you.

I listen to this song and imagine myself laying down, looking at the sky in the middle of valley, then I go help myself get up, hug myself, hold my hand and say to myself, I'm proud of you. Then I walk holding hands with myself, I feel good.
