Poisonblack
Biography
Initially formed in 2001 as a low-key side project with which to practice his guitar-playing skills, Poisonblack became the main band of Sentenced singer Ville Laihiala following that band's demise in 2005. By then, he'd already recorded and released 2003's Escapexstacy with the help of studio musicians J.P. Leppaluoto (vocals) and Janne Kukkonen (bass), but, come 2006's sophomore Lust Stained Despair album, both were gone and replaced by a tour-ready lineup including rhythm guitarist Janne Markus, keyboardist Marco Sneck, bassist Antti Remes, and drummer Tarmo Kanerva. Despite the musician turnover, neither album fell far from the Sentenced musical tree, as they featured gothic-tinged hard rock and metal. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, All Music Guide

|
||
This band is much better than sentence much havier.Bette r musicianship imo.Ville is really good on guitar
|
||
Nvm, one is coming August 27 in Finland of course and then everywhere else in Europe.
|
||
Quite possibly one of the greatest bands of all time. Don't get me wrong, I like JP a lot and his band Charon is VERY good.. But I think Poisonblack sounds a lot better with Ville as vocals.

I cant belive i never heard of this band until pandora! damn it i missed out for a long time!! they are awesome!!!!! ! !
|
||
Every time this song comes on I always feel a darkness overcoming me... I appreciate a song that can set a mood and allows me to venture into a solitary realm...
Some Tiamat songs do the same. 69 Eyes 'Angel on my Shoulder' is also a very seductive song... but the ultimate seductive song for me has to have been Christian Woman by Type O Negative. |
||
Ooh, what a thought!!!! Likewise 69 Eyes' 'Angel On My Shoulder,' which really does it for me.
|
||
This band and their music truly inspire a deliciously wicked emotion. Music to have aggressive sex to... in my humble opinion anyway.
|
||
OMG, Killer Guitar, no, really, KILLLLLLLLLL L L L L L L L L L E R GUITARRRRRRR R R R R R R R R R R R R ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
|
||
Typo O Negative on espresso!!! LOL! Let's make that jet fuel, not espresso; espresso is NOT STRONG ENOUGH
|
||
I can't believe I had not heard of them either. They remind me of a talented and heavy type O negative. Truly, they are an amazing and under-expose d band.
|
||
yet another Gem i found on pandora. I imeadiatly bought Escapextasy. Great Album, great band.
|
||
Poisonblack is the distilled essence of metal. Powerful elixir, that! You're never the same after drinking it . . .
|
||
dude.. this is some great stuff... i absolutely love the sound of their stuff... i cant believe i have been deprived of them this long.
|
||
I could weep from the tormented soulful anguish in 'All Else Is Hollow'. Awesome!!
|
||
I just looked up their homepage (not speaking Finnish) and from remarks in their guestbook they may have broken up. Emphasis on the word 'may.' 'Rush' is well, a rush!!!!
|
||
Haven't looked them up yet; I just now got the lyrics to put on MSWord (crappy text-editor that it is). At least now I have a copy. Awesome wordsmiths. OK, just went to poisonblack. c o m and they are still a band!
