The Old Dead Tree is no more.
I wish I never had to write those words, but nothing is forever. These
last few months, some disagreements started to grow within the band,
regarding commitment and musical direction in the making of our fourth
album. Those differences of opinions soon turned out to be a dead-end
problem and led me to make the decision of ending the band's activities.
In twelve years of existence, The Old Dead Tree had its share of line-up
changes. Of course, each of them has been an improvement, but they were
also painful losses. And I do not want to face that kind of loss again.
Be that as it may, I am still extremely proud of the work we have
achieved and I want to thank all the people without whom nothing would
have been possible: past and present band members with whom I learnt so
much and had amazing times, our wonderful crew, our label Season of
Mist, our tour booker K Productions, and especially the fans who
supported us and encouraged us to go forwards. I wish them all the best
in their future endeavours.
This is now farewell.
