I won’t go into details, but it sure set my soul on fire this time around and made anything I’ve ever gone through before seem so minor. It happened during Woods 1, Woods 2 and now especially Woods 3. We have been plagued by the kind of life changing event stuff that you hope never happens, that you wouldn’t even wish on your enemies (well maybe your worst enemy) and that happens at the worst possible time to derail our focus and hands us a serious setback, at least for a while. It’s all work, studio, binge drink, repeat.Then of course there are always logistical hassles and scheduling conflicts and the unfortunate and unexpected massive, tragic drama that always somehow shatters our progress while trying to finish recording a Woods album (another vulnerability of a long process is the length of your vulnerability). That might not seem too bad to some people reading this but the cycle is horrendous because in order to fulfil all your obligations, you work your heart out and never get a break. We would work all week while making time to write and rehearse at night but recording would be restricted to the weekends.

Through the three years of “Woods 3”, like most metal bands we’ve all worked full time day jobs that could often be very demanding. We recorded the drums in February 2006, the finished all the guitars in May, it’s just everything else that took so long to do and delayed the release. It took me about a year to compose all the songs and write and rehearse my drum parts. Hails David!! How are you? It has been 3 years in the making, how does it feel now that your 3rd album “Woods 3: Deepest Roots and Darkest Blues” is finally released?ĭavid: Relieved! I had already been working on “Woods 3” ideas since the writing of “Woods 2: Pursuit of the Sun & Allure of the Earth” and there are even a few riff arrangements that I’ve had since shortly after the recording of “Woods 1: Against the Seasons: Cold Winter Songs from the Dead Summer Heat” so I’ve been carrying the weight of some of these ideas for a very long time.
(Left to Right) Jessica Rose, Dan Husle and David Gold Below is the transcript of my interview with David. He answered my questions with a lot of detail. I had spoken to the Woods of Ypres frontman, David Gold after the release of the album in 2008. The doomier style that the band subsequently adopted is also hinted at here, particularly on the haunting “Your Ontario Town Is A Burial Ground”. They describe the album as “ the band at their most aggressive, with the harsh black metal sound reflecting the predominant personal lyrical approach. Last week, Earache Records announced that they would be re-issuing ‘Against the Seasons: III – The Deepest Roots & Darkest Blues’ the 3rd release by Canadian Black/Doom metal band Woods of Ypres.
