SATURNUS Parts Ways With Bassist, Announces Replacement

January 3, 2008

Denmark's melodic doom metal masters SATURNUS have issued the following update:

"After releasing 'Veronika Decides To Die' in 2006 and touring the States, Russia and parts of Europe, SATURNUS and bass player Lennart Jacobsen has decided to go our separate ways. No hard feelings involved and we wish him the best of luck with his music in the future. Luckily for us, our old bass player Brian Pomykala Hansen (Brian recorded 'Paradise Belongs to You', 'For the Loveless Lonely Nights' and 'Martyre') was playing in the band WIZARDS OF DOOM with Thomas (vocals). We tried giving him a call and he was up for the task. So, we are back in business (never went off!). We have started writing material for the next album and have some massive European tour dates lined up for the spring of 2008. We'll keep you posted on that!"

"Veronika Decides To Die" was produced by Flemming Rasmussen (METALLICA, ARTILLERY) and features a guest appearance by MERCYFUL FATE guitar legend Michael Denner. The CD was nominated in four catagories ("Best Metal Album", "Best Metal Track", "Best Metal Production" and "Best Metal Artwork") at the 2006 Danish Metal Awards event.
