More information about London Sessions EP

London Sessions, the new EP by THE OLD DEAD TREE, is now streaming in full on YouTube ahead of its official Friday, November 28th release.

Recorded within the historic walls of Abbey Road Studios, the EP captures four compositions shaped by a pivotal moment in the band’s renewed creative cycle. It pairs two brand-new songs with re-imagined versions of key works from The Perpetual Motion, forging a bridge between past foundations and present evolution.

London Sessions will be released on all platforms November 28.

The invitation to record at Abbey Road arrived in early 2024 and interrupted the writing of their first full-length in seventeen years. Across six focused days in Studios 2 and 3, the band tracked the core of the EP with producer and engineer François-Maxime Boutault, whose detailed approach shaped the contrast-rich character of the material. Feel Alive Again channels an ascent from fragility to grandeur, while Time Has Come navigates shifting moods, alternating between atmospheric passages and pointed metal tension.

London Sessions also features new interpretations of By The Way and What Else Could We’ve Said?, recorded to mark the twentieth anniversary of The Perpetual Motion. The 2025 arrangement of By The Way accentuates its dark, dreamlike qualities, reconnecting with the group’s early doom influences, while the updated version of What Else Could We’ve Said? deepens one of their most emotional narratives. Both benefit from Boutault’s production and Tony Lindgren’s mastering, with added resonance from cellist Raphaël Verguin.

London Sessions reflects the band’s long-standing identity as pioneers of French dark progressive metal. It follows years of separation, reunion, and the steady reawakening of shared creative drive.

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.
