Canadian blackened doom metal outfit WOODS OF YPRES have released another new song from their forthcoming new album, WOODS 5: GREY SKIES & ELECTRIC LIGHT.<\/p>\n

The new track, titled TRAVELLING ALONE, is streaming now on the Metal Hammer Germany website at\u00a0http:\/\/bit.ly\/uk5Qc9<\/a><\/p>\n

WOODS OF YPRES frontman DAVID GOLD comments on the track:<\/p>\n

“When lead guitarist Joel Violette and I were deciding how to title this song, I suggested ‘Customs’, ‘Kuwait’ and ‘Travelling Alone’.\u00a0 Joel voted for ‘Travelling Alone’ because it was a broader concept that we thought lots of metalheads could relate to, hoping it would create some intrigue.<\/p>\n

“The song is about travel to a foreign land, the meeting between people of different cultures and a discussion of an interrogative nature about existence and God, inspired by my travels to Kuwait to work as a teacher last year.<\/p>\n

“The ‘Traveller’ claims to be travelling alone and has ‘nothing else to declare’ and the local challenges the reasons for his beliefs.\u00a0 The traveller understands why a culture might believe in God if they live in abundance and therefore believe to have seen evidence of a God who loves and cares for people, while someone who does not live in abundance and has not seen evidence of God might not believe in the existence of one at all.\u00a0 See the lyrics: ‘When I look around you, I understand why you believe.\u00a0 I see your evidence of God, all around me.\u00a0 You have so therefore you are, but I have not.\u00a0 You are too rich for hate, and I’m too poor to love’.<\/p>\n

“The song arrangement is quite traditional, with an intro, verses, soaring choruses, a solo bridge, a spoken word breakdown and a crushing modern rock outro.<\/p>\n

“We hope you enjoy it.”<\/p>\n

‘Travelling Alone’ is the third song to be released from WOODS 5: GREY SKIES & ELECTRIC LIGHT.\u00a0 Listen to the first two tracks at:<\/p>\n
