Sentenced- Love And Death (1995)


Having never been exposed to anything prior to the Down album, this came as a bit of a shock. Not a bad thing, but I just wasn't used to the old singer. However, having heard this, I think I will go back and buy some of their other albums. This is an EP that supposedly follows the style of Amok. "The Way I Wanna Go" opens the album and is by far, one of the best tracks from it. Very catchy chorus and yet still very heavy- this song actually reminded me of early Paradise Lost a bit. "Obsession" follows and has more of a thrash feel to it than death metal. "White Wedding" is a trip to listen to- everyone remembers the Billy Idol song from years back...well, now listen to it done by Sentenced which is very riff-heavy and the vocals are more gothic sounding. The other two tracks on here I tend to skip over but this is a very cool EP.
