Poisonblack's first album, Escapexstacy, is one of the staples of the (now unfortunately, but timely, fading) Suomi metal genre. It brings us a very professional but emotive approach, nice performing and a handful of great songs - let's dig in a little deeper into it. Songs are very dark in mood and none of them could be labelled as a fast track; there are ten of them, all pretty short (some even under three minutes long) and simplistic in structure. Songwriting is pretty advanced and experienced; though at first listen I didn't like the first three tracks, everything fell into place later. The lyrics are very lust-driven and stereotypical, sometimes even cheeky (i.e. "Burn my fingers one by one, guide me down into the sun / Let me show you how I crave to make you come"), but Juha-Pekka Leppäluoto pulls them off perfectly well with his very deep, expressive and alluring voice. The ex-Charon frontman is hands down one of Finland's better vocalists, and it shows in songs such as "In Lust" and "Illusion/Delusion". Read more ›› |

Following the success of Sentenced's last album The Cold White Light, the band is taking a well-earned break. Sentenced frontman Ville Laihiala however, has decided to hook up with some fellow Oulu friends and continue his side project Poisonblack. Having formed the band as far back as two years ago , Ville decided to shift his focus from vocals and concentrate his attention on lead and rhythm guitars. Janne Kukkonen joins Ville on bass and Charon frontman Juha-Pekka Leppaluoto on vocals . Helping out in the studio as session musicians Tarmo Kanerva on drums Marco Sneck on keyboards and Janne Dahlgren on guitar. Read more ›› |

Timeless. Easily the band's best release, and those vocals! "All Else Is Hollow" and "The State" are amazing.

The continuation of sentenced on my ears, nice effort! The State and Illusion/Delusion are my fav songs...
---- Υou've sold your human essence to the cold world of dead and empty things... You're SOLD!

First of all, I must say this is the one of the best album of all time in the genre, was featuring Juha-Pekka on vocals. Incidentally, I was checking the band's details recently. What a surprise discovering Juha-Pekka rejoined the band. Should I set high expectations for a new record? Probably not; however, I'm looking forward to it very much
