The Man-Eating Tree:<\/span><\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]
\nThe Man-Eating Tree<\/strong> is a Finnish atmospheric metal band from Oulu, founded in 2009 and characterised by their atmospheric and melodic compositions that integrate elements of gothic metal. After the dissolution of Sentenced<\/strong> in 2005, drummer Vesa Ranta<\/strong> took a musical break. In 2009 he founded The Man-Eating Tree<\/strong> together with guitarist Janne Markus<\/strong> ( ex-Poisonblack<\/strong>), bassist Mikko Uusimaa<\/strong> (Reflexion<\/strong>), vocalist Tuomas Tuominen<\/strong> (ex-Fallof the Leafe<\/strong>) and keyboardist Heidi M\u00e4\u00e4tt\u00e4<\/strong> (ex-Embraze<\/strong>). The band’s name arose from a fascination with the legend of man-eating trees.
