Shadows Of The Past (album)
''Shadows of the Past'' is the debut album by the Finnish metal band Sentenced. It was released in 1991 and reissued by Century Media in 1995, including the ''Journey to Pohjola'' demo. It was reissued again in 2001 with ''North from Here'' and again in 2008 as a two-CD set along with their first two demos.

This version also includes an insert featuring the first two covers. Track li ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

''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''.
