Poisonblack is a
Finnish gothic metal band led by singer/guitarist
Ville Laihiala, vocalist of the now disbanded
Sentenced. After the departure of
Juha-Pekka Leppäluoto sometime after the release of their first album, Escapexstacy, Laihiala, the band's principal songwriter, assumed vocal duties himself and has since led Poisonblack in a musical direction that closely mirrors that of his former band.
In 2006, they toured Europe with Lacuna Coil. They have also done various concerts here and there outside Finland and opened for Iron Maiden in Helsinki, 2003.
