艺人介绍

1991，主唱Thomas A.G. Jensen有了组一个死亡金属乐队的想法，于是他开始四处寻找帮手。首先，他找到了志同道合的贝司手Brian Hansen。几个月后这支当时名为"Assesino"的组合找到了吉他手和鼓手。

91年，乐队替换了鼓手，在随后的93中又经历了几次人员变动。

93年初Assesino的成员是Thomas A.G. Jensen (vocal), Brian Hansen (bass), Christian Brenner (guitar), Pouli Choir (drums), Kim Sindahl (guitar)。乐队在名为《Judgment Day》的一张金属合辑中有了表现机会。随后乐队分裂，鼓手Pouli离队，在找到名为Jesper Saltoft 的新鼓手一个月后，吉他手Kim 又被Mikkel Andersen 代替。此外，乐队还加入了贝司手Anders Ro Nielsen ，乐队也从此正式更名为"Saturnus"。

94年，随着吉他手Kim Larsen的加入，乐队成员达到6人。也是在这个时候，Saturnus的音乐由death-metal越来越偏向于doom。而“Astral Dawn"是体现乐队早期风格的作品。

95年，吉他手Mikkel Andersen 离队，但仍然为乐队作词。乐队在哥本哈根与其他金属乐队多次同场演出。

96年初，乐队有了和英国厄运大牌MY DYING BRIDE同台演出的机会。这次演出对乐队风格的转变起了巨大作用，乐队从此开始尝试缓慢、忧郁的DOOM/GOTHIC金属风格96年末，乐队签约与Euphonious Records（Voices of Wonder的子公司）。1997年1月，乐队发行了第一张唱片《Paradise Belongs to You》。随后，吉他手Morten

Skrubbeltrang 加入乐队。

成员：Thomas (vocal), Brian Hansen (bass), Jesper Saltoft (drums), Anders (

keyboards), Kim Larsen (guitar) 和 Morten Skrubbeltrang (guitar)。

97年中，乐队又参与了一些哥本哈根本地演出，最为知名的是在Sct. Stefan's C教堂的一场5小时的现场，教堂里挂满了白色的布片，上面画满了迥异的图案，现场参与演出的有20位女生唱诗班。

97年6月29日，乐队经历了一场更难忘的演唱会－Roskilde Festival，面对的是3000名乐迷。演出高潮出现在歌曲"Christ Goodbye/The rise of Nakkie"，合作的是Morten Skrubbeltrang 指挥的8段式的圣咏。

Roskilde的现场由Norwegian Radio (NRK)现场录音，并由Scandinavian Radio在98年春天播出。"Christ Goodbye/The rise of Nakkie"被收录进MINI-CD"For the loveless lonely nights"。

接下来是98年的8月，Morten Skrubbeltrang 离队，Peter Poulsen 入替。

早在《Paradise Belongs to You》结束后，乐队就开始计划新专辑－《Martyre》。99年初，乐队开始寻找录音室和制作人，Flemming Rasmussen 和 The Sweet Silence Studios 最终获选。值得一提的是，Flemming 曾经制作了Metallica的3张经典专辑－"Ride the lightning"、 "Master of Puppets"和"...And justice for all"。

专辑录制于99年4月，但是由于许多未曾料到的意外，专辑的完成被迟迟拖后，直到第二年一月。

99年末，乐队开始了走出本土的巡演，可是，很快，Kim, Brian 和 Jesper 同时离队。

但是乐队没有终止，2000年第一个季度，乐队加入了新鼓手Morten Plenge、新吉他手Tais Pedersen和新贝司手Peter Heede。

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 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 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), was be 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 some of his funky shit yeah. Peter Poulsen entered immediatly...

The work on "Martyre" had actually already begun at the time "paradise" 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/maj 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 strenghten their position with their fans, Saturnus played a "we're still alive" show on may the 18th at Stengade 30 in Copenhagen, there is no doubt, Saturnus has NEVER been stronger, their fans NEVER more loyal.

...the story continues...
