WOODS OF YPRES

Release Year: 2012
Artist Origin: CAN
Style: mournful melacholic blackened doom metal

fifth and the last album, released already after unexpected, tragic passing of mainman David Gold, is a blackened doom metal majesty, sounding as a fitting tribute to Woods Of Ypres ten year existence, sitting comfortably alongside the glory that Type O Negative, Katatonia and Sentenced have created, where captivating vocals embody both pain and gentle nostalgia, while guitars, keyboards, and subtle percussion elements emphasize the dramatic intensity of storytelling, balancing between darkness and melancholy; divided into several chapters, music discusses loss, death, hope, love and other aspects of life, while a wide range of instruments used and moods invoked set up a dark, gloomy and infectious atmosphere
