[OlenPaska616]

eventually all paths will lead to the cemetery, but he hit the end of the road far too soon. rest in peace.

[KonevitsanKirkonkell]

Forever will be missed

[MrSenari]

3 years now...never forget!

[AngelDarkHim]

R.I.P Miika !We never forget you:(

[dwayne515]

he was a great musician..! what was the cause of death if i may ask?

[jerhinus]

@dwayne515 Alcoohol poisoning I think

[tcrono]

@dwayne515 @jerhinus quote from Sentenced's Official Homegrave: "To stop rumours about Miika Tenkula's cause of death, his family wishes to state the following: Miika had a genetic heart condition and died from a sudden attack at his home on February 18th, 2009."

[619Antonio619]

He was a musician very underrated... :(

[BetaWolf2010]

R.I.P Miika.. two year has passed.. The world has lost a great vocal and guitarrist, two years ago..

[Thepesapallomailazz]

=((((

[rotoplasmetalstorm]

Never forgotten, 2 years have passed since your passing, but you spirit lives on... always a great musical inspiration to me since 1990...

[siljan1887]

Rest in Peace Miika

We will never forget you from Germany

[Zoester415]

Miika You Are One with the Nothern Lights...

[koga666]

2 18 09 Was the day i died too..........

[bmstylee]

i am not the most knowledgeable of sentenced catalog. but is this a song they have written. it is really good. or where can i get it.

[liquorandpoker]

@bmstylee Yes, it's Sentenced. It's called "Mourn" and it's off the Frozen album.

[DragonTom75]

3.

Sokat adtál zenéddel, de bánatomra vége,

Te már megnyugodtál, s felszálltál az égbe,

Nem fáj többé neked sohasem az élet,

Magaddal vittél sok jót, s minden szépet.

4.

Haláloddal én is meghaltam egy kicsit,

Nem lesz több zene, mi engem elcsendesít,

Megszűnt hát a lelked szomorú játéka,

Nyugodj örök békében, nagyszerű Miika.

[DragonTom75]

DragonTom - Miika emlékére 1. A dalaid sok szépet adtak már énnekem, Éreztem bennük az egész életem, A szomorú dallamok bár lelkem fájdították, Számomra mégis a megnyugvást adták. 2. Néha együtt sírtam én is gitároddal, Ha épp nem volt senki, ki engem vigasztal, Néha a szárnyain röptetett a szerelem, A dalaid az égig emeltek fel engem.

[opethforlife]

R.I.P Miika and Sentenced

[ASTAROTH13666]

this fuckin' world just keeps murdering people!...too bad you hit the ground too soon.

[skydd666]

brother:((((( maybe you passed away but your music...:)))

[areswolf76]

we miss you Miika, hope you can see the way your music tresspass frontiers!!!

[sadoid]

@thevigilanteatheist I hope you die you cocksucking shithead.

[areswolf76]

@sadoid and if he wont' we can beat him 'till he cry...

[Ofidron]

@thevigilanteatheist Alcoholic or not, this man was a great artist and thus he did something great in his short life. Will you be able to say the same thing at the end of yours ?

[jerhinus]

Some of the great men along the history of music:

Layne Staley,Kurt Cobain,Mika Tenkula,Dave Williams,Peter Steele,Dio,Freddy Mercury

Rest in peace.. We will always remember you :(

[mlp1031]

@thevigilanteatheist wow why would you say something like this...seriously, even if you didn't like this person's work or believed in his life choices its harldy a reason to post such a negative response. His friends and family may read this someday and it is quite an insult. Please keep your comments to yourself!

[Xeretix]

There are days when i feel that if my life was turned to a sound, it would be like this piece.

Miika should have really made an instrumental solo album. Would have been a great listen. Metal, alcohol and melancholy.

[BreathTheDeath]

@thevigilanteatheist Go away please.

[zoncrypto]

R.I.P. brother..

[santtu777]

C U in HELL /,,/

[RuneScapeProBotting]

Why the hell would he go to hell? All he did was Sing metal, Thats like saying Paul gray is going to hell, Or DIO is going to hell. Sure they where dark people, but they where also good people.

[arare666]

@RuneScapeProBotting you assume hell is a bad place.

That is what happens when typical Christian propaganda manifest itself as the only sole absolute truth of this world.

[OskuPnM]

He's dead?... oh, I didn't even know. May he rest in peace.

I recall that this beautiful Mourn-song was originally dedicated to some of the band member's passed away father, do I remember correctly? Anyway, it also fits here perfectly as tribute for Miika.

[AlphaFlowage]

Why always the best die early?? i loved this guy he was my idol in fact i was crying when i herd hes dead! it hurts me so badly

[arare666]

@AlphaFlowage

he was too good for this world.If there is something after,a relatively sane and peaceful God(IF) then he will be fine and happy.

Yeah lots of ifs,but life is shitty enough might as well have a little hope eh?HAHA

[DarkSaucisse73]

this is the end of the road but you always remain on our heart...thank you and rest in peace

lower the flag

[markushor]

see you Miika

[cryofmankind666]

It's been over a year since Miika is gone and it still makes me sad. All the recent losses in the metal world reminded me Mikka is gone too. Rest in peace.

[jiikab]

R.I.P. ..there's nothing more to be said. And yes, lower the flags, for good.

R.I.P. Miika Tenkula

[Willebees]

Rest in Peace brother. Thanks for the memories!

[wichiin]

Sentenced, una banda única, inigualable, música melódica y bella. Es una lástima que no tuve la oportunidad de verlos en vivo y es igual una lástima que se nos fuera un miembro tan importante. Personalmente me tocaban mucho sus riffs, creo que este gran músico y la banda en general no son tan reconocidos como debieran serlo, pero aun así nos regalaron excelentes canciones con todo su sentimiento y talento. Muy ciertas las palabras de la banda: En tú música vivirás por siempre.

[mthinton]

Estoy 100% de acuerdo.. Sentenced ha sido una de mis bandas preferidas hace mucho tiempo ya y yo tampoco tuve la oportunidad de verlos indirecto. Y no se por que no eran tan reconocidos como merecian pero digo gracias por su musica! Un aplaudo

[DarkDeathSuicide84]

Yo si los vi en directo y es una autentica lastima perder al guitarrista y a la banda... No son nada conocidos, pero para los que lo conocemos hacían realmente una música muy buena, en directo me gustaron muchisimo sin escuchar todos sus albumes, transmitian mucha energia y su musica te llegaba...

Ahora mismo me acabo de enterar de su muerte porque quería ir a verlos de nuevo y me ha dado mucha pena perder este gran grupo...

Descanse en paz Miika ;(((

[damneddamien]

Criss Oliva, Steve Ray Vaughan, Miika Tenkula... Why the best guitar players have to die young?

[efilnickufecin]

Randy rhoads.... Only the good die young....

[Elamar88]

lets lower the flags...

rest in peace!

[incaligulaserfenti]

riposa in pace Miika!

[mekhet83]

ce lo auguriamo tutti...

[CyanideA7]

It's so sad...

Rest in peace. You will be always in our hearts

[IvaNFallout]

R.I.P. Mika ...

[Pansensuppe]

OMG its SOOOO sad :*(

the best people die young he? OMG :(

he was the best! RIP

hearts are all over the world for you!

Wyrd bið ful aræd!

We love you ALL!!!!!!!!!!

[sevag00]

May your soul rest in peace.

[Luenguin]

Rest in peace, brotha... You and your music will live in my heart till the end of my days...

[Nauthiz666]

miika was amazing song writer who has influenced me greatly!

[RusNat]

Thank you for all Miika. RIP. Мы все будем помнить тебя всегда и вспоминать на всех языках мира.

[ANGELTANATHOS]

Miika mai tropo lontani

[TheFlamingDemigod]

[kaakkue]

Sentenced was awesome, first metal band ive ever listened, thank you Tenkula for your music and your hard work. RIP

[Ivensflow]

The bells again...someone has died

The bells of the end toll to remind

that life´s but a race against time

R.I.P. Miika, may your sins be forgiven and your soul be free to fly away,

See you in Hell, man.

[shaantitus]

I just learned that one of my metal heroes (maybe the one i love most) passed away. R.I.P. mate... :'(

[19Steven19Steven19]

how did he die?

[LeatherCharm81]

A tragic irony maybe? At 3:51 he is sitting on a coffin with Ville...at the last Sentenced video clip ever...

[juristo]

Lower the flags ,A good man has passed .....

[bored412]

For some reason the picture at 3:51 seems extremely eerie to me

RIP Miika - one amazing guitarist

[Vattens]

Lepää rauhassa.

[TheDesertbyNight]

Why? just why man? why miika?

[jahoodunrama]

i only heard about this a few weeks ago, and im crushed.

RIP Miika, find the peace in death you could not find in life.

[suraks]

I mourn the loss of Miika Tenkula, one of my fav guitarist, a truly remarkable artist and musician, and the very soul of what used to be Sentenced. Rest now, brother — in your music and our hearts you will live forever.mikka had serious drinking problem and it escalated after sentenced disbanded....and he was found dead on February 19, 2009

[orangeedo]

woah, I only just found out.

I'm really saddened, he was and is my favorite guitarist. I've never known anyone get so much emotion out of a guitar.

Great shame.

[hadderoz]

it's still hurt

[Zoester415]

:(.... ;(.... ;(...... ;(........;(.......... Indeed Lower The Flags for this amazing , beautiful & very gifted man whose ingenius music has touched so many hearts and souls worlwide and who now is at peace as he has entered beyond the gates of heaven. R.I.P. Dear Miika you will never be forgotten but will be forever missed .

[bamburaketti]

Lower The Flags,Good Man Has Past :( R.I.P Miika

[klingklangbed]

The rain will come down hard whenever I cry for you. Our love for you is there whenever many of us fans ever picked up a guitar, and godfuckingdamnit I was hoping Sentenced would be here in Chicago one more time!

All my love to you, Miika. Now we lower the flags........

[wolverineloiro]

Someone knows what the song of this video?

RIP Miika

[azazo312]

it's Mourn. From Sentenced, obviously..

[northeromen]

Its called Mourn

[Klebsiella7]

Have a nice trip Miika...As now you reached out in the dark and you found no one there,deserve the luxury of your new home...this one we all belong...and let the wind blow through your heart.

Blood and tears until the sweet release we share in death...when we reach the end of our road...

[kripplespiele]

i used to listen a lot to sentenced, i was really bummed out when the band called the quits, now i was enjoying some of their older work when i came over this news, it's sad, the music was great, i loved it, rest in peace, man

[VladimirSkaletsky]

I admit I'd never listened to Sentenced much in the past...But it's clear that he was a very talented guy and was, by all accounts, a genuinely nice person. I hope he is at peace now. There is so much sadness and beauty in this song...

[xushixushi]

WTF?!!? I came here by accident! man this is a fscking shock!

[tavros1976]

does anyone know the cause of death?i heard they found him dead at his home on 19/02..please post the answer if you know it.thanx

R.I.P. miika

[citiusaltiusfortius1]

he had somekind of  fatal attack..

[03DoorsDown]

the official cause of death has not been published yet.. maybe someone knows why he died, maybe they don't.. but he had a serious drinking problem.. that might have played a role.

[citiusaltiusfortius1]

His close friend said that he had somekind of sudden fatal attack.

[hmva1980]

realmente me siento triste a pesar de no haberlo conocido personalmente sin embargo lo llegue a ver en vivo y su musica siempre esta conmigo, descansa en paz, no habrá remplazo eso me desconsuela en verdad ahora si, realmente voy a entristecer aun más con toda su música hasta pronto Miika

[slade79]

This is really making me cry, now... I never met Miika in person, but his music has been with me for the last 15 years of my life. So long, my friend.

[PabloGilbert91]

R.I.P

[crowcrowley]

this new really makes me feel sad...

Miika made me feel too many emotions through his music...and still going to

R.I.P dear Miika

[Savafantoolate]

Holy crap how did I miss this news....

I am deeply saddened. This music means much to me...

RIP- your music lives on in your fans.

[steveh88]

Does anybody know the name of this song?

[citiusaltiusfortius1]

Mourn

[citiusaltiusfortius1]

"What was unique about Tenkula was that he could compose both wistful and gripping melodies at the same time. His austere and tender melodies expressed true Northern melancholy, something that you recognise in yourself but you can't put it to words. As a lead guitarist Tenkula was a genious. His solo's always served the atmosphere of the music and brought new meanings to lyrics also.-->

[citiusaltiusfortius1]

-->Although he had the ability to prove his technical superiority, he didn't wan't to shred his quitar pointlessly, he thought that it was purposless and poor in expression. Miika Tenkula's flame burns bright in all of us who was deeply affected by his compositions and performances. And there are a lot of us."

Original Finnish text by Sami Lopakka, translated by me.
