I tryd 2008 re relises version whit bonus CD .....
I cant say mucg its good DM, old school whit more Europian touch, lil swedish finish whatever touch, not typical american sound
small accustic guitar passadges was good
But quasten is would Sentenced be so know, would they sold so many CD and be so famose if they would playing such DM, or would they be one of bands whit 3-4 albums in early 90's who only old timers remeber, and whit oen re union show in 2011 and one album in 2012 ....

Not as groundbreaking as North From Here, this one is more influenced by Death and Obituary but it's still great. Second best Sentenced.

While this album might have not been that innovative or new even back in the day, I think the songs are highly enjoyable and well written. Sentenced drew a lot of influence from then big death metal bands, but they did have their own personality right from the beginning. I think the two disc reissue is even better than the original, since it contains the top notch demo versions of the same songs, which I find more killer than the re-recorded ones.

This is totally underrated, and for 1991 it was pretty excellent.
