Additional notes
David Gold is also the owner of Krankenhaus Records (the former label he released Woods of Ypres albums on) and Practical Art Records (the label The Green Album is released on).

David refers to the first three albums in Roman numerals and The Green Album (and beyond) in Arabic numerals as a sort of shorthand/alternative/additional title(s), thus:
Woods I: Against the Seasons: Cold Winter Songs from the Dead Summer Heat
Woods II: Pursuit of the Sun & Allure of the Earth
Woods III: The Deepest Roots and Darkest Blues
Woods 4: The Green Album

David also drums on the demo for the melodic folk/black metal band Thrawsunblat, though there is a rumour that it is a solo side-project. The band was (supposedly) founded by Joel Violette (vocals, guitars, bass) of Frederiction, New Brunswick, Canada, for which the 8 song demo can be downloaded for free at http://www.mininova.org/tor/3190013
