Lead guitarist [[Miika Tenkula]] was the band's vocalist for the first album, but duties were shifted to bassist [[Taneli Jarva]] for the next two albums, ''[[North from Here\|]]''~~North from Here'']]~~ and [[Amok (Sentenced album)\|''Amok'']], until his departure in 1995. Under new lead vocalist [[Ville Laihiala]], Sentenced shifted from melodic death metal to gothic metal and enjoyed a run of commercial success in Finland, including three consecutive number-one albums. The band announced in 2005 that their eighth album ''[[The Funeral Album\|]]''~~The Funeral Album'']]~~ would be their last. The single "Ever-Frost" spent six weeks at number one in Finland and Sentenced's final show took place on 1 October in their hometown [[Oulu]]. Tenkula died of a heart attack in 2009. Line 67 ⟶ 66: ===Aftermath (2006–present)=== Sentenced have been awarded Platinum in the band's native Finland for their posthumous live DVD ''Buried Alive''. The trophy was handed out to the band's former members at the Century Media 20th anniversary party at the Tavastia club in [[Helsinki]] on 14 August 2008, where [[Poisonblack]] and labelmates [[Norther (band)\|Norther]] and [[Kivimetsän Druidi]] played exclusive gigs to properly celebrate this special event. All hope for the band to return was gone when guitarist and founding member Miika Tenkula died on 19 February 2009. On 26 June 2009 it was announced by his family that Miika died from a heart attack caused by a genetic heart condition that he had for many years previous to the break-up. He is buried in the Kirkkosaari cemetery in his hometown Muhos.
