Tide shift (The Man-Eating Tree) (LP 4418)

The Man-Eating Tree   Vine  (CD, Century Media Records, 2010) ****  

Genre: Prog Metal

Places I remember: Virgin Megastore (Dubai)

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Nights in White Satin

Gear costume: Amended

They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1Part 2Part 3Part 4Part 5Part 6Part 7

Active compensatory factors:
The Man-Eating Tree is a Finnish metal band formed in 2009. Vine is the band's debut album.

Along with other Scandinavian metal bands, I picked this up in Dubai, while living in Al Ain. Generally it's right up my alley -  droning metal with stoopid lyrics that I can't really hear.

Their version of The Moody Blues hit Nights in White Satin is pretty cool. Weird, but cool. It tips the balance into prog metal nicely.

Where do they all belong? A one off that I enjoyed in Al Ain.
