In what has become an over 15 years history of Exile On Mainstream we have seen a lot happening when it comes to bands becoming a part of the family and history of this label this - from the somehow traditional way of listening to a demo, seeing the band playing live, being a longtime fan to establishing a friendship first and later getting hooked on what their musical approach and output is.

The signing of Treedeon now marks walking this path full circle and simultaneously adds a new, almost holistic way of incorporating a band in the Exile On Mainstream roster as we had the fortune of watching a band finding themselves, trying out different ways and approaches to finding their sound and observing their progressions.

It was stunning to see how the threepiece became what they are now: one of Europes most staggering outfits to lay pure emotional heavyness in sound and attitude over your maltreated souls.

But let's start from the beginning and tell the tale of Treedeons creation: After the almost simultaneous demise of Germany's Noise-stalwarts ULME, and the 2nd spring of seminal Crossover punk/metal icons JINGO DE LUNCH, Ulme-guitarist and singer Arne, and Jingo de Lunch singer Yvonne, formed an acoustic bit named Treedeon.

It started as an acoustic solo set on the 2012 (and final) edition of the SOUTH OF MAINSTREAM FESTIVAL; Ulme had originally been booked, but unfortunately disbanded right before the festival.

Shortly after, a 2nd gig was booked at Berlin's Schokoladen, where KAENG-shell punisher Boomer pledged himself as the missing link by offering to play drums.

The usual followed; songs were laid out, written, and rehearsed in a dark cellar. A demo was recorded in November 2013; then unleashed to astonished fans.

The Demo made very clear that the acoustic approach of the first giggery was sacked, by a new, but somehow expected, monstrous Valkyrie of sheer heavyness, duelling vocals, and screams of emotional terror.

A much louder Treedeon played a first show in their local hangout 'Franken Bar' in Berlin.

Their second show brought them to the infamous ROADBURN FESTIVAL, as part of Exile On Mainstream's 15 years anniversary showcase.

And what an impression they left! The digitally released demo began rolling around among dedicated punters and created quite a buzz for the band, culminating in an invitation to play the STONED FROM THE UNDERGROUND FESTIVAL in July 2014.

From this gig on, the band found themselves on the map for lovers of Noise, Sludge, and all kinds of heavy pumping riffage, combined with an emotional approach and intimate lyrics.

Consequently, recording an album was due, which put the band in STUDIO WONG Berlin throughout November 2014.

And here it is - their debut album; "Lowest Level Reincarnation" - 8 songs long, 50 minutes full sonic assault, raw, heavy, and all up in your face..

carved out of depression and channelled into a maelstrom monstrosity of guitar, bass and drums.
