Taken form their website:
"The new record will mark a return to the harsher, colder sound of the original demo, while also pushing new boundaries and exploring new musical ideas"
Im really looking forward to this. For those of you who havent heard Woods Of Ypres go to www.woodsofypres.ca there are some songs you can streame directly from the website.

I thinks it is intersing that they can truly reporduce norwegian black metal sound. I had thought that it was something in the water in norway, that mde there music so depraved. I love this stuff !

When i first heard this band it was like what the fuck with the vocalist, he's sick or bored to sing... then it turned out to be one of my best bands EVER... this guy David Gold is a genius musician and lyricist.. i can't pass a day without listening to this band, The Will to Give, Your Ontario Town, Deepest Roots Darkest Blues, Iron Grudge, Distractions of living alone, Shards of Love, I Was Buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetary, Wet Leather, Suicide Cargoload, Natural Technologies, Retrosleep, Mirror Reflection, Move On...etc Fucking legendary songs, congratulations...This band made something new in metal

Against the Seasons is one of my favorite album, really love it! Pursuit of the Sun & Allure of the Earth is quite good too, over average atleast. The Deepest Roots and Darkest Blues...BIG let down. They put on way too many songs. I only found "The Northern Cold" "Your Ontario Town is a Burial Ground" "Years of Silence (and the Private Joke)" and "Song of Redemption" worth listening to. Woods IV: The Green Album - How funny, at this very moment I got to change my opinion about this record, for a bit atleast. I tried to listen to this one for half a year (from the date of release to the summer), but just couldn´t (bored the hell out of me every time). But now when I was about to write a couple of lines about how bad I think it is, I think I will have to change my mind. Just gave it another try and...well, think I will give it a couple of more spins, maybe the time has come, maybe I will be able to enjoy it now. Not that I think it suddenly sounds great, but I will give it another try. This might end up with a higher score than the previous album. Still, my thoughts on Woods of Ypres has changes with the last two albums.

Based on their new song, I have a feeling these guys won't be sticking around in the extreme section of this site for much longer... They seem to be aiming for an Anathema-esque atmospheric alternative progressive rock thing, but to me it fails in literally every aspect. I'm not a huge fan of the band so it's not like I'm terribly upset over this direction, but yikes. Hopefully this isn't a taste of things to come...

It most likely is, sadly. They've been on a downward spiral since The Deepest Roots And Darkest Blues.

I somehow stumbled upon David Gold's last.fm profile: http://www.last.fm/user/DavidGold. Stuff like this creeps me out.

Written by Milena on 25.06.2012 at 19:50 I keep going to his YT page and watchign all of his studio updates. He had a really good sens eof humour  I don't listen to him as much as I used to, but he is still one of my favourite musicians, and by far, my favourite lyricist.

For me their best work was "The Deepest Roots and Darkest Blues". After that it's just downwards.

Written by Milena on 26.06.2012 at 16:51 His lyrics (especially his earlier ones) Deal with Northern Onatrio quite a bit. And I live in the Hellhole that is Northern Ontario, so I connect a great deal with what he's writing about, some times he even talks about places I've been, or roads I've travelled on. His recording studio was about an hour away from my house, His oth BM project is actually labelled under "Thunder Bay" on Bandcamp. I'm sadden and extremely dissapointed in myself for not going to any of his shows, as he's been to Thunderf Bay 9 times. I'm not really sad about missing the concert, I'm sad about not getting to meet him. I watch his videos, and live footage of concerts from random dive bars, and I see this care-free guy, who likes to joke and talk with his fans. He really cares about the music, and he cared about the fans. His sense of Humour is awesome  This is my favourite song by him, the part when the distorted guitars come in is simply fantastic.

Written by Milena on 26.06.2012 at 16:51 They're definitely way better lyricist than him in metal. Atmo BM bands do write good lyrics for me. It's a very subjective thing to talk about.

Written by The Turbanator on 26.06.2012 at 20:11 100% subjective. I'm sure Woods of Ypres' lyrics sounds "emo" and "lame" to some ("lame") people, but for me they strike to the core and I can make startling comparisons between Gold's philosophies and my own. "Better" in terms of actual skill? Theory? Is there any "qualified" poets on the metal scene these days? God knows. I don't believe in all that shit anyway.

Written by deathexhortation on 27.06.2012 at 08:14 It is subjective. Willy said "there's no one better", I said that I personally prefer others and then I-can't-remember-who-it-was agreed with me and mentioned other writers. That's all  no one said anything about David Gold's lyrics being emo. Calling stuff "emo" just because it's sad is pretty... 2006. So you have a good reason to mock anyone who says that

Written by Milena on 27.06.2012 at 11:10 I agree. I just thought up a rather extreme hypothetical label. In reality any time a person calls something "good" or "bad", it's subjective, along with most of the other adjectives we commonly throw around. So saying "David Gold's lyrics are the best" can only actually mean "I believe David Gold's lyrics are the best". I can think of some people who would call his lyrics emo, but none of them are metalheads, and most of them are idiots. Wait, I mean most of them are idiots in my opinion. ;-)
