==Band history==
Line 55:
Two years after the release of ''[[The Cold White Light]]'', the band was seen in a slightly different light, the lyrics displaying some [[self-irony]] and even a rare positive edge. They released the single "No One There" which peaked The Finnish Charts at Number 1 following that with an extensive USA tour alongside [[Killswitch Engage]], [[Dark Tranquillity]] and [[In Flames]]. The album peaked 45th place in the German album chart. The single "No One There" was on the 1st place as well in the Finnish single chart. The band went on a European Tour with [[Lacuna coil]].
After ''[[The Cold White Light]]'', they released a CD single in 2003 along with songs by other bands on a four track compilation single that was dedicated to Oulun [[Kärpät]], the [[ice hockey]] team of the band's hometown, [[Routasydän]] (translates to "Heart of Permafrost") remains the only song Sentenced sang in [[Finnish language|Finnish]], and cannot be found elsewhere. The song caused something of a stir in Finland, as several politicians reviewed the lyrics and purported them to contain [[Nazism|Nazi]] overtones, which the band has steadfastly refuted.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=15717 |title=SENTENCED Embroiled In 'Nazi' Controversy |publisher=Blabbermouth |access-date
