Amok (Sentenced album)
1995 studio album by Sentenced
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Amok is the third album by the Finnish metal band Sentenced, released through Century Media in 1995. Though still mostly rooted in the death metal genre, the album takes the melodic death metal direction of 1993's North from Here a step further by blending it with traditional heavy metal, doom metal, and the gothic metal style that the band would take on with subsequent releases, following bassist/vocalist Taneli Jarva's departure.

The lyrics are a mixture of melancholy, mythology and philosophical themes.
