The album was recorded mainly at Finnvox and Tonebox studios (both in Finland), and mixed & mastered at Finnvox. The man on the producer chair was again Hiili Hiilesmaa, who also produced our 2 previous albums ”Crimson” and ”The Cold White Light”.

What you can expect is a variation of different kinds of songs, and for sure some surprises. In addition to the traditional instruments we used everything from scissors, zippers, compressed air and spoons to harmonicas and a children choir… but not to worry: as far as I understand anything anymore, we still have managed to maintain a sense of style.

The general feel and overall sound are more aggressive than on our latest few albums, but there are also songs that are based more on emotion and atmosphere. Lyrical themes include death (surprise, surprise?), life, loss, love, unity, disappointment and revenge, but only to start with. Overall there’s perhaps more depth in the lyrics, as well as in the music, than ever before. I think some, if not all songs will definitely take a dozen spins before fully ”opening” to the listener.

Well, enough words. This was the most intense, stressful, emotional and rewarding album session I have ever gone through. We are proud of what we have done and eager to hand it over to you for listening. That will be in April.

Bon mis à part le blabla sur le fait que c'est le meilleur album qu'ils aient jamais enregistrés, je suis curireux de voir le coté plus agressif...

J'espère (comme Fati je pense) que l'album va suffisament se démarquer des précédents.

oui car ça devenait un peu basique surtout pour Down et Crimson. Le dernier était pas mal mais ne valait pas le splendide Amok!

Sentenced sortira donc son dernier album, intitulé the Funeral Album. En effet, le groupe se sépare après ça. Ils feront une tournée d'adieu et peut-être un dvd et bye bye.

Guitarist Sami Lopakka of the Finnish metallers SENTENCED has posted the following message on the group's official web site:

"We'd better put this out in the open before you hear it somewhere else.

"The title of the new album is 'The Funeral Album', and with it we, SENTENCED, are coming to the end of our road. This album will be our last one.

"The decision is mutual, thoroughly thought over and final.

"Metaphorically speaking, this is a mass suicide of five, and the new album is the kind of note we want to leave behind. One last time around for good-byes.

"The decision was made during 2004. The reasons are many, and I don't feel any need to go into details here. I will say however, that everyone will walk away as friends. In my eyes we are even not splitting up, but ending our recording career together. And there is major difference between those two. Our wish was always to go out with style and at the peak of our so called success. I think with 'The Funeral Album' we will do exactly that.

"Once the album is released, there will be an undefined number of farewell shows. When, where and how many, those are questions that at this point remain open. Intense and long touring, however, will unfortunately not follow, and most of these shows will take place on festivals where we can reach as much people as possible at one time. At the moment it seems that all of these funeral shows will be in Europe.

"If everything goes as planned, we will also make a live DVD out of those last shows and include a lot of stuff from the past on it. Not to mention all the music videos we have done during the years. The working title for the DVD is 'Buried Alive'.

"After that SENTENCED is no more.

"And: THIS IS IT. There will not be a reunion, comeback, or any other pathetic and soap-opera-ish circus that seems to be in fashion these days. SENTENCED will rest in peace.

"We will make the most out of the band's last year, and hope you will all join us.

"See you on the last run."

Aaaaaaaaah !!

Sentenced to die
En fait j'espere qu'il sera pas terrible pour ne pas a en esperer encore après
Serieusement, je m'en fiche un peu, j'aime bien the cold white light pour son coté sombre mais frais, mais bon je m'en passe facilement

Fais ièch, j'adore ce groupe.
Voici la pochette de l'album. Ils ne se sont pas foulés

Oui mais elle est pas mal du tout je trouve!

bon je reprends donc ce que je disais sur le topic que j'ai ouvert par erreur.

ce nouvel et ultime album est carrément excellent!

Il est déjà sorti ? c'est un retour aux sources ? (je ne parle pas des 1ers album death quasi inécoutable) ou c'est dans la lignée de The cold white light ?

EDIT: ok j'ai ma réponse sur un topic fermé

superbe album effectivement, sombre bien sur mais avec de superbes ambiances, et le titre final, end of the road est très emouvant

ils partent en beauté

Tout pareil que noise. C'est album est un bijou. Largement au dessus du dernier album. Dommage que ca soit le dernier

oui carrément! je les interview ce soir, si vous avez des questions, je suis preneur...

rien de particulier, dis leur juste que End of the road est un des morceaux les plus touchants que j'ai entendu depuis longtemps, bonne continuation les gars

il sort quand ?

fin mai il me semble

le 30 mai exactement!

d'autres questions, vous avez encore 1/2 heure!

Si tu veux des questions (autres que les banals 'pourquoi arreter?', 'vos projets?' ... )

- Quel est le groupe avec qui vous auriez aimer tourner durant la carrière de Sentenced?
- Question inverse: avec quel groupe n'auriez vous surtout pas voulu tourner?
- Pensez-vous avoir été inspiré par le black album de Metallica?
- Connaissez-vous [insérer groupe X qui TE passione], qu'en pensez vous?
- Aimez vous le roquefort? Pourquoi!
- Et les contrepèteries?

je le reecoute, j'avais envie de relire ce qui s'en disait, ça s'est passé comment cette itw alors?
