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.

Lost My Way
Saturnus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I cry out your name but you're only a dream
a hope to die - always this endless pain
with an endless sigh - so endless sad
so break my urse - let my heart forget
end this dirge - these endless regrets
Lost my way - blackened faith
Lost my love - heart went astray - blackened faith
Lost my way - blackened faith
lost my love - gaining pain
blackened faith - this vacant heart
love astray - and hearts do fall apart
The sun is et and masked night
vailes heavens fayer eyes
what trust is there to a light
that so swift yes
- Robert Sidney, Earl of Leicester
The lyrics of Saturnus's song "Lost My Way" are a poignant reflection on heartbreak and the pain of losing love. The opening lines, "A sea of hope - a sky of flame," set the tone for the rest of the song, conveying a sense of turmoil and despair. The imagery of hope and flame suggest that these emotions are in conflict with each other, perhaps suggesting that hope can lead to pain and disappointment.
The next lines, "I cry out your name but you're only a dream / a hope to die - always this endless pain," suggest that the singer is longing for someone who is no longer with them. The phrase "you're only a dream" suggests that the person they are longing for may be beyond their reach, and the phrase "a hope to die" suggests that the singer has lost faith in the possibility of being reunited with this person.
The chorus, "Lost my way - blackened faith / Lost my love - heart went astray - blackened faith / Lost my love - myself to blame / Lost my way - blackened faith / lost my love - gaining pain / blackened faith - this vacant heart / love astray - and hearts do fall apart," speaks to the deeper emotional pain that the singer is experiencing. The repeated phrase "blackened faith" suggests that the singer has lost faith in love and in themselves, and the phrase "this vacant heart" further underscores the sense of emptiness and loss that they are feeling.
The final lines of the song, "The sun is set and masked night / veils heaven's fayer eyes / what trust is there to a light / that so swift yes," suggest that the singer is struggling to find meaning and hope in the darkness that surrounds them. The use of the phrase "masked night" suggests that the world is hiding something from them, perhaps adding to their sense of isolation and despair.
Overall, the lyrics of "Lost My Way" are a haunting reflection on the pain of heartbreak and the loss of faith in love. Through its use of vivid imagery and emotional language, the song captures the raw emotions that come with losing someone you love.

Moře naděje - mraky vzplanutí
Křičím tvé jméno, ale ty jsi pouze sen
Doufám, že zemřu vždy ta nekonečná bolest
s nekonečným pohledem - tak nekonečným smutkem
takže si zlomil URSE - ať mé srdce zapomene
skončit žalozpěv - této nekonečné lítosti
Ztratil jem cestu - zčernala víra
Ztratil jsem lásku - srdce zbloudilo - zčernala víra
Ztratil jsem lásku - sám na vině
Ztratil jsem cestu - zčernala víra
Ztratil jsem lásku - získávání bolesti
zčernala víra - toto prázdné srdce
láska na scestí - a srdce se rozpadne

Gösterilen yolların birkaç kürek darbesiyle yıkılıp tekrar yapılışını izliyorum. Benim her rüyamda biraz yağmur var.
Yağmurların ıslattığı yollarda kaya kaya bir hal olmanın verdiği zevki bana tek bir şey bile veremez diye düşünmüştüm. Bu şarkının içinde kaybolana dek. Şimdi kelimelerimi sunuyorum huzuruna notaların.
Sapkınlığın sınırlarını zorlayan ayakkabılar sahiplerini taşırken, bağcıklara söz hakkı vermemiş olmanın da haksız gururunu yaşıyorlar.
Kanayan meyvelerden ısırık almak kadar acı veremeyecekse hayat, uğruna devam edeceğimiz insanların yarı yolda kalması, bizi hangi dipsiz kuyularda yaşamaya mecbur bırakacak ?
Henüz buna cevap verebilmiş bir renk bile yokken, kendi gölgenizde geçirdiğiniz senelerin süresini daha fazla uzatmanız, sizin için birer cevabın kapısını aralayacaktır, sapkın kişilikçeler.
Kayıtsız kalamadınız değil mi ?
Güneşin bu kadar yalan ışığı içinde barındırmasına değil de, maskelerinizi düşüren sıcağına küfürler saydırdınız. Ancak geceleri maskesiz dolaşmanız için, sizlere hediye ettiği karanlıktan habersiz ve karanlığın içinde maske olmuş ellerden farksız, ışığın altında süzülür gibi süzüldünüz sönmeyen kibritlerin gölgesinde.
Ölüm size ne yakışırdı.
Ah.
Hatırla, o zaman güneş nereye doğacaktı yarattığınız kırmızı dev dağlardan başka ?
Nereyi ısıtacaktı, içinizdeki soğuktan habersiz dev dalgalardan başka ?
Doğru..
Ölümlü oluşunuz yordu ya zaten kusursuz karanlığın her hücresini.
Gönüllü oluşunuz açtı yolu derinliklerden akan her damlanın yolunu.
Ama sizler, yaralarla açıp girdiğiniz mağaraların tavanından damlayan kanların, ağzınıza damlamasını bekleyecek kadar küstahsınız.
Ellerin değmeyişi mi cesaret veriyor o güzel kokularınıza ?
Parçalanmış ayakkabıların esaretle dans ettiği kurumuş parmaklıkların arkasında oluşu mu iyiliğin ?
Ahmakça.
Açgözlülüğünüz ahmakça, yeterince tok iken hayatlara bu denli bağlılığınız ve onların yollarından ilerleyip trenlerin raylarını acımasızca değiştirişiniz ?
Bu kadar şakacı olmayın karanlığa karşı.
Çünkü bir tabutun karanlığa sarılı olduğu kadar,
Kızıl dağlardan getirttiği ağaçların, ateşlerde sallanışını göreceğiniz günleri de getirecek Tanrı.
Bu kez sabırlı davranmanız işe yaramayacak.
Çünkü sabır,
Sabır tünelin sonundaki soyutluk kadardır..
@harunduzalan7026
Doğa aynı oyununu oynuyor bizimle. Umudun ucunu gösteriyor usulca .. iyimserliğin ışığını süzüyor mavi atlasından. Ne aldanış!
Bulutların rengi mavi-beyaz mıdır, kurşuni-kül rengi mi yoksa?
- Şükrü ERBAŞ ...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
bir ümit denizi,bir ateş gökyüzü
ağlayarak ismini sayıklıyorum,ama sen yalnız bir düşsün
ölmek için bir ümit -daima bu sonsuz acı
sonsuz bir umutsuzlukla - sonsuz üzüntü
hevesimi kır-bırak kalbim unutsun
bu ağıtı sonlandır-bu sonsuz üzüntüyü ................ \m/_ ..
