How can you compare this vs oprth

I am talking simply about the atmosphere and melancholy which is what Opeth were trying to go for on Blackwater Park and stating that this is exactly how you create melancholy and atmosphere. Blackwater Park is an album I consider utter garbage so i tend to use it as a reference point to anything i listen to.

Opeth has long way, long long long way, same as this band should put put 3 albums Since latest

Rest in peace, Marcel.

After struggling for quite some time as to which is my favourite Saturnus album -- since indeed they released quite some top quality material -- I guess I have come to a quite solid feeling that it is this album.
It is their only album that has only very rarely those moments where they are sort of losing me lingering out some over-long songs (here only present at Decending and maybe a little bit at All Alone for me).
Paradise follows closely as my second-favourite of their albums, with significantly more lingering.
Then comes Martyre and after quite some gap it is Saturn.
Will we have another Saturnus album one day?

Masterpiece.

Such beautifully constucted melodies, and such an array of quality instrumentation, from these masterful musicians of course the best doom metal album ever imho anyway

This is one of the first Gothic Metal albums I'd ever listened to (thanks to MS top 200 albums). I found the vocals to be quite strange, almost moan-like, and the music slow and drawn-out. It took me a bit of time to appreciate this style, but now I think this album is great! A beautiful and poetic collection of songs.

8.9/10 for me - 'I Long' and 'All Alone' are the standout songs. 'Pretend', 'Rain Wash Me' and 'Embraced by Darkness' are also all great. 'Murky Waters' is the weakest song on the album.

That's strange, this album got my attention only when this song came on. Probably need at least 3 more listens to appreciate it more.

I guess for me that is rather All Alone. But Murky Waters is probably second.

Murky waters the best song for me.. Lol

I love this record! So haunting, so mellifluous, so... (wishing for proper words!). The first 4 tracks are amongst the best I have ever heard! Even the upbeat part of Pretend is well-placed and, hell, well-written. It starts with a catchy, playful rhythm, but then transcends up (descends down, depending on you see which half of the cup) to a calm, melancholic sense of coping with terms: It's only pretense---sad as it is!
And then, WOW, the sweet tracks Descending and Rain Wash Me with the former's out-of-this-world guitar solo and the latter's simple but apocalyptic piano sections (worthy of the track's title and theme)!!!

The next three tracks are not on par IMO. In particular, I tried so damn hard to appreciate All Alone as others suggest, but I find the piano melody too simple and uninteresting. Even though Embraced By Darkness has very nice lyrics, and, To The Dreams has the heaviest riffs throughout the album, they are not that memorable.

The Murky Waters is fantastic! I believe one reason why some might dislike it is that such an album with its melancholic atmosphere shouldn't culminate in an upbeat tune as this track has! But for me, the guitar work is just so catchy that I cannot stay mad about it.
