The Old Dead Tree

[cedarbreed]

I think many of you might like them.

Excellent songwriting, big production and nice feeling. Amazing singer both on growlings and clean vocals, fucken heavy riffs, beautiful melodies and sad sad atmosphereeeeeee ... (check the band's bio and the story behind the album...), but the whole thing remains very powerful and modern.

They're touring with Katatonia and their new album has just been released : ' The Nameless Disease '

Give it a try boyz and girlz

P.S : If you're going to see Katatonia gigs in Holland, Belgium or France, prepare for something BIG as the opening act... their show in Paris was destructive ...

bollocks, im seeing katatonia in the UK. i won tickets

 

[cedarbreed]

You lucky bastard haha !
Those fuckers won't play northern France so I gotta move me arse to Belgium, the 'fries+mussels kebab' country to see them

I wouldnt go as far as mentionning Linkin Park but it's true they've got something very modern and groovy sometimes, POPPY ? YES ! NU-METAL ? NO !

Well, I was curious.. But NU METAL scared me off..

Win me back, and I might try downloading some...

No really this isnt any nu-metal for sure, promised. It's more an atmospheric doom metal band than anything else BUT the production is very modern and there are some groovy mosh parts and some very pop parts but 'pop' influenced by Pink Floyd or Jeff Buclkey not Licking pork
Try them
They are very heavy by the way, big rhythm guitars , heavy riffs, and intense drumming. Not technical at all but intense, just try them l:

 

[Mosh Kosh]

Ive heard 2 songs, pretty good IMO.

 

[DE]

pretty good, definately not nu-metal but I can tell there's a pop influence.

 

[Sadistik]

I dunno...that intro reeks of MTV for me (but thats the only part).....My only problem with the performance is that the clean vox seem a little timid. Not really digging these guys, but not opposed to them either....I'll wait to see where they stand in a year or two.

 

[Demonspell]

Not bad, but nowhere near as good as that other band with the word tree in their name...

 

[Pancakes]

Where'd Seven Dying Trees go?

 

[cedarbreed]

Oh by the way,

Is anyone here coming to the Katatonia / The Old Dead Tree gig in Gent (BL) may 10th ?

I'm looking for People from Paris who wanna go there , carmates etc ...

I like this quite alot. I think its really cool how they mix nu-metal and extreme metal...no one really does that.

yeah, I wouldn't talk about nu-metal though but that's why I keep on saying they're innovative in the genre

 

[no country for old wainds]

They're not bad. I wouldn't say they were brilliant.

 

[Static]

I don't think there is anything wrong with being nu-metal really. Its not that this music really 'fits' into the nu-metal genre, its just certain influences from that genre can be heard here. I think its really cool how they take influence from that type of sound and turn it on its head.

Atmospheric doom with mosh parts? How does THAT work?

Well ok just remove the word doom, it's atmospheric metal with mosh parts. I swear you can mosh at their music. I did last week. Started the mosh *MAN*
:Spin:

 

[Firedwarf]

The bass sounds lame in the mini solos it has. =(
