Woods 5: Grey Skies And Electric Light

Woods 5: Grey Skies And Electric Light

â€˜Woods 5: Grey Skies & Electric Lightâ€™ is the ground-breaking record of â€˜bleak metalâ€™ 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 Goldâ€™s death in December 2011 (just 4 months after the album was recorded.) The bandâ€™s sound has been compared to the likes of Katatonia, Paradise Lost, Type O Negative, characterised by band leader David Goldâ€™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 â€œALTHOUGH WOODS 5 WAS COMPLETED BEFORE THE CAR CRASH THAT KILLED HIM... IT IS HARD NOT TO HEAR ITâ€ DECIBEL â€œMORE 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 COINCIDENCEâ€ THE SUN â€œWOODS OF YPRES HAVE COME OF AGE BUT WOODS 5 ULTIMATELY SERVES AS A HAUNTING TRIBUTE TO A DARK LIGHT. DAVID GOLD, RIP.â€
