THE OLD DEAD TREE Rise From the Ruins on New Single The Lightest Straw

More information about Second Thoughts

As the embers of yesterday cast long shadows, THE OLD DEAD TREE strides forward, bearing the torch of their latest creation, The Lightest Straw—a gritty tale of resilience and the weight of unexpected downfalls.

The Lightest Straw dives into the collapse of an invincible soul—a theme rooted deep within the echoes of their 2007 release, The Water Fields. With a nod to their doom and death metal roots, this track explodes with a brutal yet beautifully orchestrated soundscape, layering 40 vocal tracks into an intense, haunting blend. It captures the raw cry of longing: “I wish I never lost the desire to be much greater than I am.”

Grinding against the struggles of the past, THE OLD DEAD TREE‘s journey to this point has been far from smooth. Separation and silence almost dimmed their light, but their unbreakable spirit ignited a comeback like no other. With Second Thoughts, they plunge deep into life’s paradox—a raw, unfiltered exploration of anguish and fleeting joy. Songs like lead single Unpredictable and Solastalgia push you into the depths of your soul, only to pull you out with renewed strength.

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

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.
