On 15 february, almost two months after the death of lead singer David Gold, was released Woods of Ypres last album : "Woods V: Grey Skies & Electric Light". Influence of Type O Negative, yet felt on "Woods IV" are found in every song (the song "Career Suicide (Suicide Is Not Real)" seemed so similar to what would Type O Negative made, that I made several research, to see if maybe Peter Steele has faked his death "too"), and parts of black metal from past albums, have totally disappeared.
"Woods V" is definitely the easiest album of the Woods of Ypres and will probably be one of the best rated metal albums of the year, this due to the death of David Gold, but also because it is really a good album.
In conclusion, a great album (although it haves some negative parts - little monotonous at times) not to be missed, and a verse from the best track on the album:
"They love vivos - Our Love the people is civilized ... They're living while still alive
Love vivos - Our people have civilized ... we should not worship the dead. "(PS: I know it sounds stupid, but after reading the lyrics you can not get the feeling that David has anticipated his death a little).
RIP David Gold
