THE MAN-EATING TREE Launch 'Armed' Video; More Harvest Album Release Dates Revealed
November 9, 2011, 13 years ago
THE MAN-EATING TREE’s new video, 'Armed', was filmed by Mutant Koala Pictures, a production company based in the band'’s hometown, Oulu, Finland.
Check out the new video below:
Tuomas Tuominen (vocals) on the song itself: “’Armed’ was one of the first songs written for Harvest. In essence, it's about how precious our time here is. How it sometimes feels as if hours and years could be seized into the wrong hands and pointed at you - as they were a weapon. A weapon that cannot be disarmed. Time is a weapon that will kill everyone. Mercilessly.”
After releasing their debut album, Vine, outside of Finland, Century Media Records signed The Man-Eating Tree - featuring Vesa Ranta (formerly in SENTENCED) and Janne Markus (ex-POISONBLACK) - worldwide.
The Man-Eating Tree recorded their new album, Harvest, with Hiili Hiilesmaa, but with some extra force injected by their additional guitarist Antti Karhu.

Finland: Wednesday, November 23rd
Germany / Austria / Switzerland / Norway: Friday, November 25th
