"Shadows of the Past" is the debut album by the Finnish metal band Sentenced. It was released in 1991 and re-issued by Century Media in 1995, including the "Journey To Pohjola" demo. It was re-issued again in 2001 with "North From Here" and again in 2008 as a 2CD set along with their first two demos. The album is much different from any of the band's other material, as they would move onto a much "lighter" sort of metal later in their career.
