The band released their first self-financed EP "Kivisydän" in 2004 and its follow up EP release "Ikiuneen" in 2006.
In 2007 the band got signed by Spikefarm Records. Saattue’s debut album "Jäähyvästi" was released in late January 2008 and was followed by the second album "Vuoroveri" in November 2009.
The latest offering from Saatttue is their 3rd album "Kärsimysnäytelmä". It was released by Endless Desperation Productions in August 2016. After seven years of work Saattue presents seven unforgettable songs which will move you to the seven different mystical journeys of dark emotional states.
Saattue write their lyrics in Finnish and labels their music as “saatto metal”. Saatto, as well as Saattue, means procession in Finnish. In their music Saattue combine their native language Finnish to dark, raw and emotional musical elements. Saattue's roots are deeply in doom metal and other extreme metal genres, but they've also gathered influences from dark rock groups such as the Finnish cult rock act Mana Mana.
Typical trademarks of the Saattue-sound are oppressive heaviness, rawness, atmospheric passages and ear-catching chorus melodies.
