They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1; Part 2; Part 3; Part 4; Part 5; Part 6
Active compensatory factors: I picked up quite a few of these kinds of Scandinavian metal albums while living in The Middle East. The Virgin Megastore in the Dubai Mall had leaps of CDs like this (btw - the store's still there but a pale shadow of what it one was).

Sentenced are a gothic metal band from Finland (they were huge in Finland!). The Cold White Light was their seventh album (they released eight before splitting).
The approach on the album is in the melodic metal style of Dream Theater and Lacuna Coil - with powerful lead vocals by Ville Laihiala, and the music has a rock'n'roll heart. It's still pretty heavy but we're not talking early Opeth here.
Where do they all belong? Not an album I play much now - the likelihood of my playing heavy doom metal is much reduced these days.
