The Man-Eating Tree

The Man-Eating Tree Is a Finnish six-piece band, performing atmospheric metal music. The seed of the new band was planted when Vesa Ranta, having taken a break from music after Sentenced, began to overcome his post-Sentenced battle against fatigue and lack of musical motivation. The idea of a new band ? or bands ? was eventually brainstormed over a period of time between Vesa and his friends, including gentlemen Miika Tenkula, Aaron Rantonen, Janne Markus and Mikko Uusimaa.

Plans were made reality in 2009; the outfit was completed by the addition of Tuomas Tuominen (ex-Fall Of The Leafe) as a vocalist and Heidi M??tt? (ex-Embraze) as a keyboard player. First demo recordings were made in the spring and summer of 2009. The bulk of compositions are the origin of Janne Markus (Poisonblack), with some contribution also from Aaron Rantonen. Much of the lyrical input is contributed by Tuomas Tuominen.

Debut album "Vine" was released on 2010. After that Century Media records signed the band worldwide. Second album ''Harvest'' came out 2011. Both albums were produced by Hiili Hiilesmaa.
