saturnus "paradise belongs to you" is a very special album

[einride]

if you don't think this is true chances are you think doom metal is slow maltese power metal about swords or drugged out slobs playing hazy black sabbath covers out the back of a '76 chevy van

 

[Vittra]

Great album, and Christ Goodbye is an excellent song in particular.

 

[einride]

this is a very bad thread but the album is good

that last album seemed right and sounded just like a saturnus album but time has proven it wrong somehow. really a textbook example of form over essence

 

[Ellestin]

Yep great album. Discovered this while studying in Denmark back in the days it was released.

Like Martyre too. Not so much Veronika decides to change sex.

 

[Demilich]

man I remember this one! quality stuff, must hear again

 

[J.]

i didnt think too much of it.

dont think ive heard saturnus

 

[Plastic Nathrakh]

haha this thread is fucking shit

 

[Reign in Acai]

Saturnus is excellent as a whole.

 

[einride]

i didnt think too much of it.

did you listen to it properly though

 

[Reign in Acai]

Is the rest of Veronika Decides to Die as excellent as this? Holy mother of Nad, this trumps anything on Paradise..., just absolutely blown away by the beauty of this song. I have everything by Saturnus sans this album, why?

its ok

it SOUNDS like saturnus and it IS basically saturnus but somehow it feels empty and it just doesn't have the soul or poignancy of the earlier recordings.

also the lyrics are pretty bad

Here strolls the blackened sky
With me, myself and I

Lets pretend well meet again
Pretend you knew me
Pretend you cared
Lets pretend we once kissed
With compassion
With heartfelt affection

Lets pretend well meet again
Lets just, lets just pretend
Pretend you're still... you're still my friend

Lets pretend well meet again
Pretend you knew me
Pretend you cared
Lets pretend we once kissed
With compassion
