Danish doom stalwarts SATURNUS have announced their new acoustic EP "The Lighthouse Session II", which will at first be exclusively sold at the the merchandise desk during their soon to begin European tour as direct support of Insular death doom pioneers PARADISE LOST.
The "ASCENSION OF EUROPE" tour part 2 will take place in February & March 2026, and several shows are already sold out and more venues report very low stocks of tickets. SATURNUS will be touring in support of their highly acclaimed latest full-length "The Storm Within".
"With 'The Lighthouse Session II', we again present a calm, acoustic re-imagination of songs from our catalogue that we revisit in their own weight and identity", lead guitarist Indee Rehal-Sagoo explains. "At the core, our idea is to breathe new life into familiar compositions by immersing them within a melancholic atmosphere, reshaped textures, and letting fragility and space do the heavy lifting. Although the songs are mostly changed into acoustic entities, the emotional impact remains crushing, intimate, and powerful. On a conceptual, spiritual level, both 'Lighthouse Sessions' carry the same symbolism: they are supposed to act as a beacon for those who dwell in the dark. We do not wish to dispel that or try to force people out, but to offer a direction within. In the 'Lighthouse' these songs are reborn. The light can help lost souls to navigate through grief and silence, and towards something truthful. In that sense, 'The Lighthouse Session II' continues and deepens this concept. Music as a shelter for the tears that both our listeners and we ourselves shed."
