WOODS OF YPRES BIOGRAPHY
Forming in 2002, Woods of Ypres is a black metal band hailing from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. So far they have released one demo and an album, and are currently working on their second full-length album.
Their demo, "Against the Seasons: Cold Winter Songs From the Dead Summer Heat" is an overall more "black" release than "Pursuit of the Sun & Allure of the Earth", which tends to use a lot of acoustic guitars and clean vocals, and deserves the term "melodic black metal" moreso than the demo.
Current line-up:
David Gold - guitars/vocals/drums
Dan Hulse - bass/backing vocals/recording engineer
Jessica Rose - keys
Chris Mezz - drums (live & studio)
Influences include:
