Woods 5: Grey Skies And Electric Light

‘Woods 5: Grey Skies & Electric Light’ is the ground-breaking record of ‘bleak metal’ from this revered Canadian act. The album received high praise upon its original release in February 2012 with Metal Hammer scoring 6/7 and about.com giving it a near perfect score of 4.5/5 stars. The themes of doom and death so heavily ingrained in the record were made even more profound after David Gold’s death in December 2011 (just 4 months after the album was recorded.) The band’s sound has been compared to the likes of Katatonia, Paradise Lost, Type O Negative, characterised by band leader David Gold’s deep and mournful vocal style and bleak lyrical outlook. Due to fan demand this is the first ever vinyl repress of this album. REVOLVER “ALTHOUGH WOODS 5 WAS COMPLETED BEFORE THE CAR CRASH THAT KILLED HIM... IT IS HARD NOT TO HEAR IT” DECIBEL “MORE THAN ENOUGH SELF REFERENTIAL MOMENTS OF IMPENDING MORTALITY ON WOODS V TO MAKE YOU WONDER WHETHER IT WAS A SELF FULFILLING PROPHECY OR ONE PARTICULARLY BAD COINCIDENCE” THE SUN “WOODS OF YPRES HAVE COME OF AGE BUT WOODS 5 ULTIMATELY SERVES AS A HAUNTING TRIBUTE TO A DARK LIGHT. DAVID GOLD, RIP.”
