Mikko Uusimaa (REFLEXION) - Bass

Century Media has set a November 13 release date for SENTENCED's complete discography in a coffin-styled box set. Entitled "Coffin - The Complete Discography", the set will include 16 CDs (144 audio tracks),2 DVDs (42 videos) and a book.

Former SENTENCEDguitarist and main songwriter Miika Tenkula was found dead at his home on February 19, 2009. He was 34 years old. According to a statement released by the surviving members of the band, Tenkula "had a genetic heart condition and died from a sudden attack at his home."

SENTENCED's posthumous DVD, "Buried Alive", was certified platinum last year in the band's native Finland. The disc topped the official Finnish chart upon its release in late 2006.
