Since its creation in 1997 by Manuel Munoz (Vocals, Guitars) and Nicolas Chevrollier
(Guitars), THE OLD DEAD TREE always stood apart in the current European metal scene thanks
to its unique musical identity: a style which combines extreme metal & dark rock / pop with
exceptional vocals, gliding from one style to the next.
By 1999, this was already clearly evident, when Frédéric Guillemot (Drums) and Vincent
Danhier (Bass) decided to join and secure the line-up. The press and fans enthusiastically
praised and welcomed the band’s first release: a mini-CD, “The Blossom”.
This promising debut took a sudden tragic turn, when Frédéric Guillemot committed suicide
just a few months later. The band members were inspired to exorcise the dramatic loss of
their close friend by expressing the darkest feelings and frustration this trauma provoked
in a new concept album. The result was “The Nameless Disease”, produced by Andy Classen
(LEGION OF THE DAMNED, DEW SCENTED, DIE APOKALYPTISCHEN REITER, DISBELIEF, GRAVEWORM…) and
mastered by Goran Finberg (IN FLAMES, OPETH, DIMMU BORGIR…), an album which carried a
powerful, aggressive and modern sound. In 2002, the band signed a deal with Season of Mist
which finally gave Frédéric’s epic eulogy a proper release. THE OLD DEAD TREE performed
several shows and toured at various festivals for the record, with the likes of OPETH,
KATATONIA and PARADISE LOST.
Franck Métayer, at the drums since 1999, decided to leave in 2004 in order to devote
himself to his personal life. He was replaced by Foued Moukid whose debut performance with
the THE OLD DEAD TREE appeared on the 2005 album, “The Perpetual Motion”. The band played
at several high profile festivals over the summer of 2005 to promote the album’s release,
including at “Summer Darkness” (NL) and “Fury Fest” (FR) alongside SLAYER, ANTHRAX,
MEGADETH, LACUNA COIL, NEUROSIS and SOILWORK.
Sophomore album “The Perpetual Motion” was fully produced by Andy Classen at the Stage One
Studio (Germany) and the collaboration proved to be particularly successful. The album
received raving reviews late Summer 2005. Throughout the fall and winter of that year, THE
OLD DEAD TREE hit the road with Dutch gothic metallers EPICA for a full European tour, and
performed several shows as headliners in France and the Benelux.
On May 2006, guitarist and founding member Nicolas Chevrollier called its quits to focus on
his family, as he would soon become a father. The strong friendship binding the members of
the band made the decision particularly difficult. A replacement was found in Gilles Moinet
(main composer of doom metal act LUX INCERTA), a man with a deep sense of melody who
quickly found his place and brought new influences to THE OLD DEAD TREE.
After several more shows, the band members started working on their third album early 2007.
The recording sessions and the whole mixing and mastering process took place in June at the
Stage One Studio, once again with irreplaceable producer Andy Classen. The wait is now over
and THE OLD DEAD TREE have given birth to their new album “The Water Fields”. This title is
based upon an imaginary place where one finds refuge from pain and everyday doubts. “This
is a concept album about avoidance, kidding oneself, and the urge we have to hide from
reality and to remain passive when we are on tenterhooks...” says Manuel Munoz. “The band
went further again, reaching a new stage in terms of song writing and maturity. This album
is much heavier and darker, but also more diverse and full of sheer emotion! Even the
production of Andy Classen outdoes the job on our previous material…”
“Let’s dig deeper and deeper into the Water Fields…”
