Saturnalia is the only studio album by The Gutter Twins, a collaboration between Greg Dulli and Mark Lanegan.

Prior to the album's release, the duo began posting songs on their official MySpace page.

On Christmas Day 2003, Dulli and Lanegan started recording songs which would become Saturnalia.

In July 2007, Pitchfork Media announced that the band had signed to Seattle label Sub Pop; soon thereafter, the March 4, 2008 release date was set.

The Gutter Twins announced a UK tour in May 2008, where they played 6 live concerts around Britain.
