This is... in my opinion the best band in the world. Nothing like will never come again. This was the band that got me into the metal scene permanently. Sentenced til the day I die!
TheSuiciderr I'm so glad to hear you say that. Sentenced is my favorite band I listen to them year round. They rock and so do you !!!! I'll leave this world without shedding a tear, without hope, without fear!!!!
Sentenced was still around during Poisonblack. Ville didnt join Poisonblack until after their first album and after the death of Sentenced. Poisonblack's original singer is an a band called Charon, who are pretty awesome too. That first Poisonblack record is classic!
I reply to a 7 year old message but let's just say I hope Poisonblack wasn't on your label:) I mean, Poisonblack was Laihiala's band from the beginning, on escapectacy he was only playing guitar...and writing every other song but two. Laihiala formed Shadowlands(?) That later changed it's name to Poisonblack
its actually true that we dont have a great version, also that youtube has changed their quality standards about a milion times and degraded the audio over the years. And they wont let you replace the file with a new one. :( jerks.
Totally agree with you guys. Is it still possible to upload a better version since you can't replace this one? As Tribute to Sentence. For instance call it SENTENCED - Noose (OFFICIAL VIDEO HD)
It just kills me to know I won't ever see these guys playing live... I've known Sentenced for just about 2 yrs, but I don't think I'll ever love a band as much as I love them... I mean, damn, their music is unbelievable... You don't just listen to Sentenced's songs, you FEEL them!
I was waiting for Iron Maiden to step on the stage of a local open air metal festival, and an early support act started playing a style of metal new to me... until the kid besides me started yelling "Noose!! Noose!!", and there it came as their closing song... I didn't even had internet back then but this band was by far the best on stage... old times hehe ^_^
They were the first Finnish heavy metal band I ever got into. It was around 2000 and I was looking for something different from all the nu metal/rap metal that was everywhere and was sick of it. I had never heard of this band and then I found Crimson sitting somewhere in the metal section. The album cover just spoke to me. I just knew this was something I would enjoy. So I bought it purely on that and the name Sentenced. I couldn't believe what I was hearing when I listened to the album and I've loved Sentenced ever since. I always found a strong and positive light streaming through their melancholy. But I had only just discovered one act of the highly fertile Finnish Metal scene and that there was a whole avalanche of it to come at me. Really love Finland as well, such a beautiful country with an amazing culture.
your story is really similar to mine. I was introduced to Sentenced through a friend, even though we grew apart I still am one of the passionate fans of the band. Everytime I listen to this band, I am reminded how difficult it was to survive in the wild forest that's called life and how they helped me get over my fears, anxiety and depression. I am so grateful to that friend wherever he is. Thank you man, cheers mate.
No way out of your misery Alone in pain and agony Lay depressed and hollow One thought in your mind No Tomorrow And then you had made up your mind And thought it was your time You left this world without shedding a tear Without hope, without fear So you thought you'd just put your head into the noose And let it all go... and so you did Oh yeah, you did Now you come haunting every night Calling my name until I Wake up feeling this sorrow One thought in my mind I will follow I'll drink the booze to depress myself Then I take the rope and express myself I'll leave this world without shedding a tear Without hope, without fear I think I'll just put my head into the noose And let it all go... and so I will I think I'll just put my head into the noose And let it all go... and so I will Oh yeah, I will I'll take the rope, just like you And wherever you are, I'll be too I think I'll just put my head into the noose And let it all go... and so I will I think I'll just put my head into the noose And let it all go... and so I will Oh yeah, I will
I worked for a music magazine and I had the chance to follow Sentenced, Dark tranquillity and In flames on tour across Europe in 1999 or 2000.... nordic metal at its best!
First heard this on an album with Demons and Wizards’ Fiddler on the Green and other tracks. The Power Metal Years. But not the one I found on Discogs oddly. Great track. Great compilation.
@dragoon0109 Sentenced vocalist Villie Laihiala made Poisonblack post-sentenced.Sentenced was formed in 1989 and Villie joined in 1993 or 1995.Poisonblack was formed after that.They got the sound from Sentenced.
Whole Sentenced is very much missed... Miikas playing was so fucking awesome and Jarva was also phenomenal playing bass and vocals during early years... Songwriting... another level.. Love you, no homo... :)
In 1996 I got in contact with someone in the band while surfing the then new internet at Sandbackaskolan, my senior highschool in Arvidsjaur, Lapland Sweden 😁
Tässä on se biisi, jonka kuunteiln ensimmäiseksi sen jälkeen kun sain sedältä puhelun: "Ari on löydetty kuolleena." R.I.P. rakas isä: Ari Lauri Henrik Huttunen. '58 - '03.
