Then the time has come, a time that I hoped never would come, Sentenced's last album, the end of a band that means so much for so many, including me.
Because with the release of "The Funeral Album", one of the largest, if not the largest, "Suicide Metal" band is committing mass-suicide right in front of our eyes.

I remember reading a quote from former Sentenced front-man, Ville Laihiala, a few years ago saying: "As a person I am Finnish to the teeth: Low self-esteem, dark sense of humour and a very small penis."

Now penises aside, that quote pretty much perfectly sums up the picture I have formulated of the band in my mind. I've always had this fascination with Sentenced, the paradox within their music and the incredible way in which a single listen through an album can completely fuck up a perfectly good cup of coffee, but at the same time have you singing along with a smile on your face. I was saddened when I learned of their disbanding in 2005, when I found myself living in a cold and icy Europe for the first time, missing the dreadful heat of Cape Town where your skin melts into your car's leather seats on a congested highway.

Bad English
Tage Westerlund
Even-Frost lyric is so funny
Just give a try sad albunm, good songs, music , but its some kind a sad since we know there is no more sentemced, I wonder band know they will split up before recorded it, its so smybolic indeed. Perfect title and well maybe its better because band could not go on and record good songs all the time, they have 2 week albums to so , good its good and killer maybe not killer but perfect and specelöy for last one whit a lot of symbolism
