Biography

Woods of Ypres was formed in 2002 by David Gold, Aaron Palmer and Brian McManus. The trio released the first Woods Of Ypres demo, Against the Seasons: Cold Winter Songs from the Dead Summer Heat, the same year. In 2003, David Gold moved to Toronto to begin working on a full length album. A keyboard player, Jessica Lukawski was added, as well as Connor Sharpe on bass and Steve Jones on guitar. Although the booklet states otherwise, Steve and Connor did perform all the guitar and bass, respectively.[1] Steve and Connor quit the band after the recording. In 2004 the band's first full length was released on David Gold's record label, Krankenhaus Records.

In 2005 the band went through more lineup changes, bringing in Dan Hulse on bass and vocals and Chris Mezz on the drums, allowing Gold to play Guitar. Soon after this, the writing process for the third album began, which has continued until recording was completed in 2007. Mastering Was completed in Late 2007[2] and the album has now been shipped out with a number of the pre-orders now in the hands of the fans
