Good album just tryd it(remastered) - epic one, good old school DM, diferent sound how USA and comparingw hit 1th album this goes more ''melodic, more prog'' way but they did not forgot metal roots
IM cover is good , but I dont have Dance On The Graves at my CD ....
Demo songs are also good, good quality DM; not typical basemant songs

Such a shame this band went down the path of "suomi" metal after their first two full lengths. Shadows of the Past and North From Here are full of really good death metal, and the rest of their discography is just wave after wave of garbage...

I would say that Amok is actually melodic death metal and that they didn't go 'suomi' until after that album. I found Down and Frozen to be decent as well but they took a tumble after those albums.

Of course, Amok is one of my favorite albums of all time so I'm biased.

This album contains some really cold atmosphere. To me this was the first Sentenced record I have heard. Hard to get into, but it rewards you.

It was also my first Sentenced album, I bought it back in 1995 if I recall correctly.
Awaiting the winter frost till today is my all-time favourite song by them (followed by Nepenthe).
Unfortunately, the rest of this album cannot hold up to this at all IMO. Still a decent DM album over all.

The new Mefitis made me remember how much of a groundbreaking album this one is. A true Death Metal classic and Sentenced's best by far.

The previous album was very good old-school death metal, while this album is more technical, progressive, atmospheric and even closer to black metal. Their most interesting album, the score is completely underestimated. Although "The Cold White Light" is their popular work, their early works are full of experimental and exploratory spirit of music.
