Saturnus

[BloodSword]

For various reasons: Anders Ro Nielson, Tais Pedersen, Peter Poulson and Nikolaj Borg have left the band. Saturnus now consists of founding members--Thomas A.G. Nielson and Brian Hanson. Also, guitarist Rune Stiassny is now a member. Future members and concert dates will be announced soon. WoW, Saturnus OUCH!!!

 

[Novembers Paul]

It's a shame. I've talked with both sides, and I doubt the public will ever hear more then what has been said.

 

[BloodSword]

I wish the best to all involved. And I'm certain you would agree Paul, some things are too personal to be revealed. As the way it should be,man.

 

[Jasonic]

I read this too the other day.
Sad news indeed.
Either way, can't wait for some new Saturnus material.

Also, thanks for Novembers Doom who first made me aware of this band from when they toured with them in Europe.

 

[Will Bozarth]

I'm glad I got to see that lineup twice.

 

[OPETH_DT]

This is a shocker, for sure. I saw them twice as well, and they were great sets.

 

[Novembers Paul]

Don't take this as news by any means, but as you know by the news statement, Thomas, original bassist Brian (who replaced Lennart) and new guitarist Rune will continue under the Saturnus name, and Tais, Nik, Peter, and Anders will most likely continue under a new name. I'm fully expecting good things from both sides! They are ALL good friends of ours in ND, as we have spent many crazy days together, and we obviously wish them ALL the best!

The other guys said "Christ Goodbye"


I know... I can't wait to hear their new stuff. Kinda curious what kind of turn their sound will take.

 

[Novembers Paul]

This happened to Saturnus once before, and the band "The Loveless" formed from it. They only released once CD as far as I know, and I did like that too!

 

[Illnath]

I just hope they get a full line-up as soon as possible

 

[Haughm]

Anders too?? Man, it is really strange that this exact same story happened to them 10 years ago...

[Novembers Paul]

Thomas has a full lineup. I think more announcements will happen in the coming months.

 

[Psychonaut]

One of my favorite bands ever. I'm confident they won't release anything unless it's up to Saturnus standards but I really hope it's soon.

 

[Novembers Paul]

I've heard one new song with the new lineup. To my ears, it's all Saturnus.

[Jerich]

Paul as Long as Thomas is at the helm we will always have that SATURNUS sound i think! yes i heard both sides of the story ..and the other guys will be carry on under a new name and band very soon....

and the fact that Thomas is wearing my bands shirt always rules too!!

I would only consider this bad news 'cause I never got to see the now-dissolved lineup. As far as I know they've never played in Texas. One of my favorite bands for sure.

 

[Novembers Paul]

We played with the "new" line up of "Sathomas" in Spain, and I can safely say, all is well. Close your eyes, and it's hard to tell the difference. Of COURSE you'll hear some differences in the guitar inflections and such, Peter was so distinct. They also played a brand new song, and it was pure Saturnus.

Sathomas

XD! Can't wait to hear their new song.
