Thus arives a moment I really kind of hoped would never happen. This is it for Sentenced... the final album. It's sad to see such a great band come to a close. Sentenced has been a favorite of mine for some time and I would put them head and shoulders above any other goth band to come before and after. They've always kept a certain heaviness to their take on goth which just creates an incredible mix of anger and depression. That's what I really love about them... the emotion they've always portrayed so well.
This album is basically their patented style from start to finish. No big changes grace this final outing as Sentenced say goodbye to their fans. Not quite as slick in the production as Cold White Light this album resembles the Frozen album most in sound I suppose. There's a bit of Crimson here though as well as some of the songs are more laid back then the previous release. The somewhat rawer sound seems to benefit this album as it just adds to the sort of somber feel. There's still plenty of heaviness, it's just not quite as upbeat as some of the tracks on Cold White Light. From start to finish this album delivers songs to match their best material and is a suiting farewell to this incredibly talented act. I don't want to say goodbye after hearing it, but as their music states time and time again... such farewells are inevitable. So goodbye Sentenced and thanks for the music. This may be the end of your road, but I will always enjoy what you've created.
Highlights: Despair-Ridden Hearts, Vengeance Is Mine, Lower The Flags, End Of The Road
