Biography
Early years (1989-1991)
Sentenced started in 1989 as Deformity and changed their name to Sentenced in 1989, after a few line-up changes. The original line-up consisted of Miika Tenkula (lead guitar and vocals), Sami Lopakka (guitar), Vesa Ranta (drums), and Lari Kylmänen (bass). They recorded two demo tapes: When Death Joins Us... in 1990 and Rotting Ways to Misery in 1991. The band actually got their very first record deal (with the French label Thrash Records) after their first demo.
Shadows of the Past (1991-1993)
In 1991, bassist Taneli Jarva joined the band, replacing Kylmänen just as the band was about to record their debut album, Shadows of the Past. At that time, their musical style was fast, typical European melodic death metal. In Spring 1992, they recorded a three-song promotional tape, Journey to Pohjola, and as a result got a deal with the Finnish Spinefarm Records. By the year of 1992 had done over 50 live shows and sold all 1500 copies of their debut album Shadows of the Past, their earlier 2 demos and a lot of merchandise.

Farewell
by: Sentenced(music: Laihiala & Sentenced, Lyrics: Laihiala)
I've dragged myself through the blood and mud
and with burning eyes pushed the love away...
No I'm not the kind of man who'd play for keeps...
The enchantment lies in the moment of goodbyes
For eternity...
My sun has set down
I dream to flee...
As I suffer "the black" bleed in me
I regret every single day I've ever lived in my life
I gave all I had in me... so it's time to say Goodbye
The breath of wind beneath my beating wings
is slowly dying down...
Yet raging its final blow!
As it crumbles down... my castle in the air
The relieving words of farewell end my earthly Hell
For eternity...
My sun has set down
It has ceased to be...
The lightning that once burned in me
I regret every single day I've ever lived in my life
