Formation (2003-2005)

Saturn was formed by brothers Salman and Shahbaz in 2003 and was joined by Hasham Kazi with whom they started recording "Raakh," their debut track, at S & M Studios Islamabad. Hasham left the band due to personal reason shortly after the release of the song and the two brothers moved on. In 2004 Saturn released their second song with a completely new line up and started playing concerts regularly until late 2005. In the start of 2006 Saturn disbanded and the band went into idle years. From 2006 to 2007 Saturn remained out of the music scene, occasionally performing at music festivals, but not playing many concerts. It was later revealed that the band had been working on their debut album Naya Din.

The Comeback and Recording of Naya Din (2008-2012)

In 2008 Saturn announced that they were back and now in studio to record their untitled album with Sarmad Ghafoor at S & M Studio. In 2008 Saturn played almost forty concerts for U ROCK, a project run by Ufone Telecom of Pakistan. The band's line-up had again changed but this time they were not willing to change it and went straight to studio. On July 7, 2011 Saturn finally released the long-awaited video for their second song "Kuch Nahi" and later that same year announced on radio that they were ready for their debut album’s release which was still untitled. It took almost three years to record all the songs but in December 2011 they announced that the album would be called Naya Din.

Naya Din and Rise to fame (2012-present)

In 2012 Saturn collaborated with Kuch Khaas, a non-profit organization, and released a song with video called "Kuch Khaas". Saturn was working on the album art and release and marketing plans of the album throughout 2012. The band often stated on radio channels that they were about to release their album which was done with recording and was being mixed and mastered. On 22 March 2013 Saturn released their song and video named "Sargoshian" which is Urdu for "Whispers". A lyrical and subtitled video of "Sargoshian" was released three days prior to the release of the actual video. On 25 March 2013 Saturn released a teaser announcing the upcoming release of their debut album Naya Din.
