Background information über 'Frozen'

Sentenced's "Frozen" stands as one of the most emotionally devastating albums in the Finnish metal pantheon, originally released in 2000 as the band's penultimate statement before their dissolution. This deluxe vinyl reissue captures the raw melancholy and crushing weight that made the original such a landmark release in gothic-tinged heavy metal. The album showcases Ville Laihiala's most vulnerable vocal performance, weaving between clean melodic passages and harsher tones that perfectly complement the band's evolution from their death metal roots into more accessible yet equally dark territory.

What makes "Frozen" so compelling is how it balances accessibility with genuine emotional depth - tracks like "Dead Leaves" and "The Suicider" hit with the force of a sledgehammer while maintaining sophisticated songcraft that rewards repeated listening. Miika Tenkula's guitar work is particularly noteworthy, creating atmospheric soundscapes that feel both intimate and expansive. The album's themes of loss, regret and mortality are handled with a maturity that elevates it above typical doom-laden fare, making every track feel like a personal confession rather than mere posturing.

For fans of:
Katatonia, Paradise Lost, Type O Negative, Anathema and My Dying Bride.
