Saturnus is a Danish band known for its melodic and atmospheric brand of doom metal, with deep ties to the death-doom subgenre. Formed in 1991 in Copenhagen, the band has made a significant mark on the metal scene with its emotive and melancholic soundscapes, characterized by heavy guitar work, symphonic elements, and somber vocals. Their lyrical themes often revolve around loss, pain, sorrow, and existential contemplation, reflecting the darker aspects of the human experience.

The band's debut album "Paradise Belongs To You" was released in 1996, immediately establishing their presence in the metal community. Over the years, Saturnus has continued to evolve while maintaining a devoted fanbase. They released a series of impactful records, including the deeply introspective "Martyre" in 2000 and the poignant "Veronica Decides to Die" in 2006, an album inspired by Paulo Coelho's novel of the same name. Their most recent studio effort, "Saturn in Ascension," arrived in 2012, demonstrating their enduring ability to blend soaring melodies with crushing heaviness. Despite not being prolific in terms of quantity, Saturnus's dedication to crafting evocative music has secured their place among the luminaries of the doom metal genre.
