History
Woods of Ypres was a blackened doom metal band from Ontario, Canada, formed in 2002 by David Gold, Aaron Palmer and Brian McManus. They released five albums, each somewhat differing in style, before the death of founding member David Gold. According to the official website, Woods of Ypres can be defined as, "...atmospheric doom-laden Great-White-North flavored black metal."
In 2002, the demo Woods I: Against the Seasons, Cold Winter Songs from the Dead Summer Heat was released on Krankenhaus Records. Later in 2003, David Gold moved to Toronto to begin working on a full-length album and, by 2004, the band's first full-length album, Woods II: Pursuit of the Sun & Allure of the Earth was also released on Krankenhaus Records. Woods III: Deepest Roots & Darkest Blues was released in 2007, again on the Krankenhaus label. Woods IV: The Green Album, was released in November, 2009 on Practical Art Records. This is the longest album by Woods of Ypres, with 16 tracks total.
