    Saturnalia revels in sin while occasionally contemplating salvation. Mesmerizing comes to mind.

    The lofty expectations are met in full with Saturnalia. [Apr 2008, p.160]

    Not surprisingly, their debut tends toward brooding, bluesy rock-a worthy soundtrack for those dark, whiskey-soaked nights of the soul and the regret-filled mornings after.

    As a huge Twilight Singers fan, I thought I'd be disappointed with this...Not so! Repeated listens bring a whole new meaning to the Gutter Twins....God's Childeren and Idle Hands will be appreciated right of the bat, but other tunes such as "Circle the Fringes" , and the rest will capitivate you after several listens. I hope these guys keep making music together.… Expand

    Intense, dark, brooding - but a sense for the melodic which makes this an essential listen.
