SENTENCED Guitarist Comments On New Album

January 14, 2005

More details have been revealed about the new album from Finland's SENTENCED, tentatively due in April via Century Media Records.

The follow-up to 2002's "The Cold White Light" was recorded primarily at Finnvox and Tonebox studios (both in Finland),and mixed and mastered at Finnvox. Producing the effort was again Hiili Hiilesmaa, who also worked with the group on their last two albums, 2000's "Crimson" and "The Cold White Light".

Commented guitarist Sami Lopakka: "What you can expect is a variation of different kinds of songs, and for sure some surprises. In addition to the traditional instruments we used everything from scissors, zippers, compressed air and spoons to harmonicas and a children choir… but not to worry: as far as I understand anything anymore, we still have managed to maintain a sense of style.

"The general feel and overall sound are more aggressive than on our latest few albums, but there are also songs that are based more on emotion and atmosphere. Lyrical themes include death (surprise, surprise?),life, loss, love, unity, disappointment and revenge, but only to start with. Overall, there's perhaps more depth in the lyrics, as well as in the music, than ever before. I think some, if not all songs will definitely take a dozen spins before fully 'opening' to the listener.

"Well, enough words. This was the most intense, stressful, emotional and rewarding album session I have ever gone through. We are proud of what we have done and eager to hand it over to you for listening. That will be in April."

The as-yet-untitled effort has a total running time of 49:53 and will include the following songtitles:

01. May Today Become the Day
02. Ever-Frost
03. We Are But Falling Leaves
04. Her Last 5 Minutes
05. Where Waters Fall Frozen
06. Despair-Ridden Hearts
07. A Long Way To Nowhere
08. Vengeance Is Mine
09. Consider Us Dead
10. Lower The Flags
11. Drain Me
12. Karu
13. End Of The Road
