Danish doom stalwarts Saturnus have announced their new acoustic EP, The Lighthouse Session II, which will initially be available exclusively at the merchandise desk during their soon‑to‑begin European tour as direct support to gothic/doom metal icons Paradise Lost.
The Ascension of Europe Tour 2026 – Part II will take place throughout February and March 2026. Several dates are already sold out, and many remaining venues report very limited ticket availability (see the tour dates below).
Saturnus' lead guitarist Indee Rehal‑Sagoo comments on the EP: "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. 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".
The Lighthouse Session II will be released as a hand‑numbered Digisleeve CD, limited to 1,000 copies. The EP will initially be sold exclusively at the merch desk; any remaining copies will later become available through the band's online shop. A digital release will follow at a later date. Link
