The Man-Eating Tree, the new group from Vesa Ranta of Sentenced fame, is releasing their debut album in September 2010. The first single from the album will be out in spring. Compared to Sentenced, The Man-Eating Tree's output is slightly more dusky and ethereal, not to forget the strong choruses and melodies. The forthcoming album is produced by Hiili Hiilesmaa, who is responsible for the broad-minded soundscapes.

Hailing from Oulu, The Man-Eating Tree introduces some familiar faces from the Finnish metal scene, including the Poisonblack guitarist Janne Markus, Mikko Uusimaa from Reflexion, Heidi Määttä from the late Embraze, Vesa Ranta from Sentenced and Aaron Rantonen. Ex-Fall of the Leaf singer Tuomas Tuominen is taking care of the vocal business.

"After Sentenced split up, everybody in the band has been continuing making music with their projects, it's in our blood anyway. The Man-Eating Tree was born after I found the right players to the team. We are really excited with this band and eager to have the first release out in spring and the full album in September. Touring plans will also appear later in the spring.", says The Man-Eating Tree's founder and drummer Vesa Ranta.
