Met him at a book fair in Helsinki, he is an author nowadays! I love his books as well as his music!

Yes so do I! My favourite band! And he has written two books so far, the first one Marras is about band's tour in Europe and it has a lot of melancholy, dark humor and booze included haha! The second one Loka is about three guys who are all suicidal and alcoholics and it's their melancholic but hilarious life story. First one is fact and fiction, second one is fiction!

OMG, haven't we all grown a bit older... I remember seeing Sentenced when they supported Tiamat (must haven in 1995), We were all fascinated by Sami's guitar playing. He looked very young back then (semi-long hair) and some people were cracking jokes, how he had gotten into the club. As soon as they started playing, he shut all of them up! Excellent band with cracking songs!

I'm so jealous that you got to see them when they were active! I was born in 1998 so I was too young to even know about Sentenced when they were active from 1989-2005, only learned to love them later in my early teen years. I can imagine that they were quite a special sight, definitely showing off the Finnish melancholic personality in their stage presence as well as free time haha! But anyway I'm glad I got to finally meet him last year, and I definitely agree with you about how excellent the band is, Sentenced is my all-time favourite band for sure!

In fact, they were completely cool. Maybe some alcohol was involved, but the blokes were all smiling constantly and especially the singer seemed to have a great time (although I couldn't figure out what was so funny....). I hadn't expected them to go down so well. As a consequence I went out to buy "Amok" the next day. It's a high-quality album, which has been the spine of my collection ever since.
