Solastalgia is a lament for a world in peril, a raw cry against the environmental destruction that haunts us. It channels the collective anxiety of our times into an unflinching narrative sung with desperation and fervor: “I don’t know, my god I don’t know what to do now.” The track resonates deeply, touching the frayed nerves of anyone witnessing the gradual but relentless collapse of the natural world.

Known for weaving tales of agony and resilience, THE OLD DEAD TREE’s latest album Second Thoughts dives deep into the human condition, capturing the raw essence of existence’s bittersweet dance. The album is a journey through life’s unpredictable fire—each song a confrontation with inner demons, each note a step towards rebirth.

After years of silence and a painful hiatus punctuated by the pandemic’s cruel grip, the band’s high-profile appearance at HELLFEST and the runaway success of their single Terrified marked a powerful return. The release of Second Thoughts heralds a new chapter for one of France’s leading dark progressive metal bands.
