So, you're the new Gates of Winter drummer? That's awesome.

Are you just going to be recording their next CD with them, and are you going to be touring with them too? And what's going on with Necramyth?

You seem to be a very busy man!
 
It's true!

I've recently accepted the offer to join GATES OF WINTER as their full time drummer for touring and recording.

I will be recording with NECRAMYTH (www.youtube.com/DavidYpres) this spring and playing as many shows as we can before I leave Korea. Upon returning to Canada this July, my focus will be with GoW to prepare for shows, writing and the eventual recording.

WOODS OF YPRES will continue and there will be more releases, but these things do take time to write. In the meantme, I'm always thinking. :) Good things will come of all of this.

It's funny how things go, eh? Here's to the future! :kickass:

More as it develops! Thanks as always for your support!!!

I'm looking forward to seeing what the collaboration of these musicians produces -- not only on stage but in the studio as well.

As all Woods fans know, David brings unique ideas -- especially lyrically -- to a genre of music that isn't always known for its creativity, depth, and just plain ol' "magic." Woods of Ypres is all that and more.

And if you haven't yet checked out Gates of Winter, you owe it to yourself to do so. They're a remarkable band, more on the prog metal side of the musical spectrum than the black/dark/doom metal side, but that's to their benefit because they're one of the bands under consideration for the opening slot at this year's ProgPower USA metal fest in Atlanta. And wouldn't that combination make for an interesting performance? David Gold and the Gates of Winter crew on stage together before nearly 1,000 screaming fans? It boggles the mind.

Congrats to David, Steve, and everyone in Gates of Winter!

When you will be back in Canada... Please, play some WoY shows !!!
Or why not Woods of Ypres and Gates of Winter together..... Oh! and add Necramyth too :heh:

Seriously, with all these bands you are about to become a beast on the drums !

:kickass:
 
Sounds like he will be indeed a busy man!

Now I've got three albums to look forward to, the new Necramyth, Gates of Winter and Woods of Ypres albums.

You should let us know when pre-orders become available for any of them.

Congratulations on your all your successes man.
 
Well, the NECRAMYTH thing is obviously temporary. I've been rehearsing and playing shows with them since last September and we will be recording their new album in April. Because we've jammed so much together this past year, we decided that it would be best to record the drums 'live off the floor' in the studio (without a click track, but with the other guys playing along) in order to capture the 'live' feel of a NECRAMYTH performance. With any luck, we'll successfully capture some of that brutal intensity you make from four guys hammering out death metal in a cramped rehearsal space 2-3 times a week for a year. That has been us. btw - I'm actually attending the wedding of NECRAMYTH frontman Pedro Chae to his long time g/f tomorrow. Pedro is famous for being one of the most dedicated guys in the Korean Metal scene and he has become a really great friend of mine this past year. I could go on, lots to say here. But anyways, I'm making the best of my last few months + I'll have a CD to show for it!

The GATES OF WINTER gig is obviously a big one and I'm thrilled to have this opportunity. What are the odds that the Ontario metal band that I've recently been most impressed with and interested in happens to be from my original hometown and were needing a drummer? ...just as I was "going through changes". The stars are aligned and shit. We had been in touch with each other for a few months already, but I recently decided to make a decision and go for it 100%. GOW will now be my focus upon returning to Canada in July. The guys are all doing a great job of welcoming me home and easing my return to Canadian soil. I am already forever greatful and I've promised to give them all I got. To be back in the North and playing drums in a heavy band...I am very, very excited about this!

Further behind the scenes, WOODS will be in 'writing mode' (in my brain) until further announcements. The 'Spring/Green' album is on my mind, but as previously mentioned, there may be a few other things to get off my chest, first. Who knows, before 'Spring' the cold North may inspire me, yet again!

Thanks as always for reading + thanks for all the kind words of encouragement in these strange times! You guys make me smile! :heh:

Damn, you are sick! The only thing I had to do yesterday was drag my arse to the post office, and I didn't even accomplish that....You're putting us lazy bums to shame. Seriously though, congrats on everything, and best of luck on everything to come. :kickass:
