"THE FUNERAL ALBUM"

I wasn't familiar with Sentenced at all until Ian from Khrinj excitedly told me about The Funeral Album. Sentenced has been around for quite awhile; in their first incarnation they were a Finnish death metal band and after replacing their original vocalist they became a more melodic, hard rock oriented band. Interestingly, Sentenced knew they were going to break up as a band and wrote this album as a farewell to their fans. Fans of a sound that is reminiscent of the band Trouble will really enjoy this record. I really liked the gothic overtones and mid-tempo pace. Where some metal bands pulverize my ears with blistering speed, Sentenced build their songs with bulldozer-sized riffs that slowly grind into my head with excruciating pleasure. Long live Sentenced! —Century Media Records 2005
