We don't just play. We create (N)everlasting memories

- Hönö Bar Owner

We are passionate Sentenced Fans and in our younger years were consumed by the captivating songs of the band so we want to pay tribute to Sentenced.

Now that they don’t exist anymore, we are still missing them a lot.

Michael was tired of playing the Sentenced songs only by himself with the computer.

That’s when he decided to look for other people to occasionally meet up and play songs together like a band.

So we started out by meeting up and just jamming their songs but eventually saw that we can do more than that, so we decided to also play live shows and deliver an authentic performance to at least keep the memory of this great band alive!

We record every show that we play on video from multiple angles so that YOU can watch the concert from YOUR event again and again.

And the best part: YOU can have a part in the production by sending us your videos that you filmed yourself so that we can include them into the concert movie.

We don’t just come to play a concert.

We Create Neverlasting Memories for you.

Sentenced-iltojen taustoja ¼:
Elinkautinen
Kollektiivi sai alkunsa, kun Miika Tenkulasta tehdyn elämäkerran Melankolian mestari kirjoittaja Nefertiti Malaty etsi live-musiikkia kirjajulkkareihin. Ensimmäisenä hän törmäsi Elinkautinen-nimellä kulkevaan tribuuttibändiin. Tampereella päämajaansa pitävä yhtye sai alkunsa vuonna
2018, kun bändin liidikitaristi Michael ”Miika” Korte muutti Suomeen Saksasta.
”Minulle ei riittänyt enää se, että soitin tietokoneeni kanssa näitä huikeita biisejä. Halusin enemmän: bändin, kenen kanssa jakaa ja soittaa tätä upeaa musiikkia”, sanoo Korte.
Korte oli myös vakuuttunut siitä, että löytää oikeat ihmiset bändiin, olihan kyseessä heavy metallin mekka, Suomi:
”Ja olin oikeassa, parhaat tyypit löysivät tiensä Elinkautiseen”.
Sentencedin musiikin Korte löysi 13-vuotiaana silloisen kitaraopettajan ansiosta.
”Se oli menoa siltä istumalta! En olisi ikinä uskonut ,että löydän vielä itseni soittamasta bändini kanssa Muhokselta!”
Hauska sattuma on myös se, että Korten kotikaupunki on Hagen – sama
kaupunki, jossa Sentenced nauhoitti Woodhouse-studiolla albuminsa Down ja Frozen.
Michael toivoo vielä jonain päivänä Elinkautisen esiintyvän ulkomailla – ehkäpä juuri Saksan maalla tutuissa maisemissa.
Syksyllä 2024 kollektiivi kiertää ympäri Suomea. Stay tuned!
