SENTIMENT Parts Ways With Bassist, Announces Replacement

January 30, 2008

SENTIMENT, the Finnish band featuring former SILENT VOICES vocalist Michael Henneken, has issued the following update:

"At the moment we are still looking for suitable label(s) and management. We are also rehearsing like hell but unfortunately we will not have any live performances before we have the album out so that there is something to promote.

"We also have a lineup change — the duties of the bass player will be taken over by Janne Laaksonen (KILPI, THE ROCK CITY BAND, KINGS OF BALLADS). He is a firm musician, a great bass player and first of all, a great character with a wonderful sense of humour. The decision was made due to the sheer impossibility of rehearsing with Ville, since he lives in Austria. We wish all the best to Ville and he will always be our friend and bro. We will take new promotional pics as soon as we hit 2008 and all the partying will be done."

SENTIMENT was founded in 1998 by Jami and Tony Huovinen. The group first aproached the music with a progressive angle, but after couple of demos and numerous bandmember changes, it took on its current form with a style that is being described as "melodic metal, [but] with a twist of hard rock and crunchier riffs."
