- Growing the Beard: With Shadows of the Past Sentenced was just another standard "Death clone" as Taneli Jarva put it. With North From Here they evolved into their own band, creating more atmospheric folky version of what would become early Melodic Death Metal.
- Harsher in Hindsight:
- "My Slowing Heart" has become this with Miika Tenkula's death due to a heart attack caused by hereditary heart disease.
- Sentenced's many songs about murder, suicide and Murder-Suicide can be quite more harrowing when in early 2021 in their home-municipality of Muhos a woman murdered her two children and then committed suicide.
- Mainstream Obscurity: Despite being a seminal part of the Finnish metal scene of the '90s, Sentenced never reached anywhere near the same international recognition as the likes of Nightwish, Children of Bodom, HIM, Stratovarius or even Amorphis.
- Signature Song: "Killing Me Killing You" (Which the band barely ever played live) as well as "Noose".
