WOODS OF YPRES - Organizers Of Heart Of Gold Tribute Album Issue Cover Art Update
July 18, 2012, 12 years ago
The organizers of the forthcoming tribute album dedicated to WOODS OF YPRES frontman David Gold, entitled A Heart Of Gold: Tribute To Woods Of Ypres, have issued the following update:
"In recent news articles it's being stated that the photo being used is the album cover. This is false. We have chosen the final cover art for the album - a beautiful job done by Jason Hicks - for now it is remaining under wraps until it is finished. It is a piece of art, it's haunting, uplifting, provoking... all around beautiful! Very excited about it! But you all have to wait just a little to see it ;) "Again, the artwork below IS NOT the final cover for the album:
Steph LeDrew, the heartbeat of the project, recently issued the following statement:
"On December 21st the world lost Woods Of Ypres founder/frontman David Gold. Not only was the entire local metal community but the international metal family mourned the loss of such a brilliant soul. As a thank you and farewell to Woods of Ypres, I reached out to those who were influenced by Woods and David, so join me in creating a musical salute to one of the greatest doom metal bands to unleash onto the underground metal scene."Arists and songs featured on the album are as follows:
