More information about Second Thoughts

THE OLD DEAD TREE returns to confront our deepest fears with unparalleled sincerity and intensity.

Solastalgia is a lament for a world in peril, a raw cry against the environmental destruction that haunts us. It channels the collective anxiety of our times into an unflinching narrative sung with desperation and fervor: “I don’t know, my god I don’t know what to do now.” The track resonates deeply, touching the frayed nerves of anyone witnessing the gradual but relentless collapse of the natural world.

Known for weaving tales of agony and resilience, THE OLD DEAD TREE’s latest album Second Thoughts dives deep into the human condition, capturing the raw essence of existence’s bittersweet dance. The album is a journey through life’s unpredictable fire—each song a confrontation with inner demons, each note a step towards rebirth.

After years of silence and a painful hiatus punctuated by the pandemic’s cruel grip, the band’s high-profile appearance at HELLFEST and the runaway success of their single Terrified marked a powerful return. The release of Second Thoughts heralds a new chapter for one of France’s leading dark progressive metal bands.

Second Thoughts is out December 6th on Season of Mist.

THE OLD DEAD TREE Delivers Unforgettable Emotions on Unpredictable

Posted on September 18, 2024

Returning like a phoenix from the ashes, French dark progressive metal band THE OLD DEAD TREE unveil the harbinger of the upcoming album Second Thoughts — the soul-stirring single, Unpredictable. Unpredictable delves into the chaotic maelstrom of life’s twists and turns. Musically as hauntingly beautiful as it is merciless, a mirror reflecting the unpredictable nature of existence. The morning dawns, casting light on the twisted ruins we wake up to every day. But on Unpredictable, the light is more than just the break of day; it’s a call to arms. With lyrics bleeding raw emotion and riffs that cut through the white noise of apathy, THE OLD DEAD TREE summons us to embrace the chaos that life throws our way. “No one really knows what life will bring; it’s just unpredictable,” Manuel Munoz sings with an urgency that demands you to hear the ticking clock of existence. Carrying the band’s signature weight—the amalgamation of progressive extreme music and dark rock-pop—Unpredictable captures the essence of living on the edge. It’s a powerful reminder to seize the moment, to rise against the constraints of rationality and be prepared for the unplanned, the unexpected. The haunting vocals and relentless rhythms pull you under and lift you out, breaking through the frame of what was once seen as possible.
