On April 11, 2025, Finnish atmospheric metallers #TheManEatingTree will release their brand new studio offering, "Night Verses", via #NobleDemon. The pre-sale is available at
With "Night Verses", THE MAN-EATING TREE returns with renewed energy and a desire to push the boundaries of their sound. With a lineup featuring former and current members of legendary bands such as #GhostBrigade, #Poisonblack, #MorsSubita, #Entwine and more, the band is poised to deliver their most powerful and dynamic album yet.
Following the previously-released, first appetizer "Seer", and second single "To The Sinking", today, THE MAN-EATING TREE has premiered another glimpse into the soon to be released album. Listen to "Ruins Of Insanity" here:
Vocalist Manne Ikonen (ex-Ghost Brigade) tells us about the song:
"'Ruins of Insanity' tells a horrifying story about a couple struggling with a severe addiction and acquisitiveness in a dystopic world of chaos and misery, mind taken over by blinding lunacy so strong that reality and common sense is no longer in hand."
Founding member Janne Markus adds:
"Melancholy, own, common, hated, ashamed, loved, desired. The disintegration of two people's world and its reflection in everything around them. Leaving only emptiness. As a song this is the most straight-forward, catchy, melodic, not as heavy as the other songs on the album."

LYRICS "Ruins Of Insanity":
You got so tired watching me from aside.
And you tried to escape as far as you could ever reach.
Heading down again.
You see my world is crumbling down on me again.
You want to be the only one remaining.
You have demons, and all those reasons.
Can’t keep them sane.
You’re like a searchlight, blinding flashes from a past.
And now in the darkness nothing but a distorted scene.
A sovereign of serene - you are the solar queen.
You see my world is crumbling down on me again.
You want to be the only one remaining.
You have demons and all those reasons.
Can’t keep them sane.
You’ve got reflections from the darker side of me.
You tried to see them through the walls.
But there was a war around us and chaos between us.
World is falling apart.
We are the broken, slowly fading away.
No one can hear us, our helpless cries of decay.
We are the broken, slowly fading away.
You see my world is crumbling down on me again.
You want to be the only one remaining.
You have demons and all those reasons.
Can’t keep them sane.
You’ve got reflections from the darker side of me.
You tried to see them through the walls.
But there was a war around us and chaos between us.
World is falling apart.
