The first re-release of the first EP by legendary Finnish Melodic Death Metal band.
Every Melodic Death Metal band has covered an Iron Maiden song or two. And Sentences made this much faster than the original, with the raspy vocals power that the original lacked. The nicest part is that in some parts they have clean in the background, to keep the original vocal melodies intact. It's great! They nail the solo, even speed it up. In fact, the entire song is so much f***ing faster that it's a minute shorter than the original. Also, as you listen to the vocals, it sounds like Sentenced is having an f***ing blast playing this song. And you'll get a lot of fun listening to it!
"Desert by Night" is an awesome piece of early Melodic Death Metal with some Progressive and Thrash Metal influence that characterizes At The Gates, and more overt melody more commonly used by early Dark Tranquillity and In Flames. And it's great! Absolutely beautiful piano outro too.
"In Memorium" is a remastered track from the "Journey To Pohjola" demo that was released between "Shadows Of The Past" and "North From Here". It is raw and brutal, with deep vocals (like the debut), but has some melody of the second album.
"Awaiting The Winter Frost" is a song from "North From Here", and a good addition to the EP. It starts with some Folkish acoustic accompanied by haunting keyboard, before speeding up and going into Metal.
Tracks 1-3 are the demo "Journey To Pohjola" (1992), added to this re-release as a bonus.
All tracks are recorded at Tico-Tico Studios (Sonata Arctica, Wintersun, Impaled Nazarene) with Ahti Kortelainen, Finland 1992 – 1993. Booklet and original artwork are completely restored by ACW (Pestilence, Tiamat, Ceremonial Oath).
If you're a fan of Melodeath, or just Death Metal in general, check out some early Sentenced. This is a good EP to sample for it!
The track order on the inlay outside is incorrect. The correct tracklist is written below.
