Started as thrash metal band in autumn 1988 called Deformity.
First line-up was Miika Tenkula (Guitar, Vocal), Lari Kylmänen (Bass) and Tuure Heikkilä (Drums). After line-up changes in 1989 they changed style and name.
Tuure Heikkilä never played in the band under Sentenced name.

Sentenced split up in 2005 after a farewell album called "The Funeral Album" and an extensive farewell tour. At their last gig in their hometown of Oulu, Taneli Jarva joined the band to sing a few songs from North From Here, Amok, and Love and Death.

The Sentenced logo was originally drawn by Taneli Jarva.
