THE OLD DEAD TREE Is Dead
November 18, 2009French goth metallers THE OLD DEAD TREE have officially split up.
Commented frontman Manuel: "I wish I never had to write those words, but nothing is forever. These last few months, some disagreements started to grow within the band, regarding commitment and musical direction in the making of our fourth album. Those differences of opinions soon turned out to be a dead-end problem and led me to make the decision of ending the band's activities.
"In twelve years of existence, THE OLD DEAD TREE had its share of lineup changes. Of course, each of them has been an improvement, but they were also painful losses. And I do not want to face that kind of loss again.
"Be that as it may, I am still extremely proud of the work we have achieved and I want to thank all the people without whom nothing would have been possible: past and present band members with whom I learnt so much and had amazing times, our wonderful crew, our label Season of Mist, our tour booker K Productions, and especially the fans who supported us and encouraged us to go forwards. I wish them all the best in their future endeavours.
"This is now farewell."
THE OLD DEAD TREE's latest album, "The Water Fields", was released in September 2007 via Season of Mist. The CD was recorded at Stage One Studio in Germany with producer Andy Classen.
