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.

****THIS IS THE END****
The Old Dead Tree n'est plus.
J'aurais aimé ne jamais avoir à écrire ces mots, mais rien n'est
éternel.
Ces derniers mois des dissensions sont apparues au sein du groupe, touchant
aussi bien au degré d'implication à fournir qu'à la direction musicale
à suivre pour la composition de notre quatrième album.
Ces différences d'opinions se sont rapidement révélées inconciliables
et m'ont amené à prendre la décision de mettre fin aux activités du
groupe.
En douze années d'existence The Old Dead Tree a connu suffisamment de
changements de line up.
Chacun a bien sûr été un enrichissement, mais aussi une perte
douloureuse. C'est cette perte que je ne souhaite plus affronter
aujourd'hui.
Je reste quoi qu'il en soit extrêmement fier du travail que nous avons pu
accomplir et tiens à remercier les personnes sans qui rien n'aurait été
possible: Les autres membres du groupe (passés et présents) auprès
desquels j'ai beaucoup appris et avec qui j'ai partagé d'inoubliables
expériences bien sûr, mais aussi notre incroyable staff technique, notre
label Season Of Mist, notre tourneur K Productions et surtout les fans qui
nous ont soutenu et poussé à aller de l'avant.
Je leur souhaite à tous le meilleur dans leurs projets futurs.
This is now farewell
