To start this review we could use this proverb : every good thing has an end....
If you don't know yet, this album marks the end of Sentenced.
So it's not coincidence if the album is called The Funeral Album.
After this last offering and some gigs, the band will put an end to the Sentenced's story.
Coming from Melodic Death Metal, Sentenced arrives today with a new CD in the pure agressive heavy tradition.
The sound is very modern and has a rare power which blasts you off since the first riffs.
We really feel that the band has given their last strenghts in the battle.
The rythmic is precise and the riffs have been carefully worked.
For wistled harmonics fans May Today Become the Day is a dreaming song and it's just made for them...It wistles in every way and I blame the guitarists who will try to play this track !
Ville's voice growls more than ever and we can feel a real power and strenght through it but also the desesperation of the end...
Of course there are some mid-tempo songs but the sound and the genuwine composition make of the album a perfect masterpiece. We would like to have dozens and dozens tracks like that !!!
Where Waters Fall Frozen is a short instrumental (1 minute long) and very particular.
Behind the big riffs hides a very known melody, you will surely recognize it...(but I don't want to waste the surprise...)
The CD ends up on a tearing End Of The Road which concludes the wonderful career of the band. You have to listen carefully to the lyrics....
Thanks guys for this final fireworks, good luck for the continuation...
