WOODS OF YPRES Frontman Is New GATES OF WINTER Drummer

March 13, 2008

Bassist/manager Steve Angelo Furgiuele of Northern Ontario's GATES OF WINTER has issued the following update:

"The time has come for GATES OF WINTER to embark on the next phase in our short history.

"Thus far throughout our five-year run, we have embraced many failures and enjoyed successes that have kept the fire alive in our hearts and the dream alive for many. We've experienced many downfalls which only left us stronger and brought about a more unified GATES OF WINTER — both musically and personally as brothers.

"With our newly released 'Lux Aeterna' album and plans for touring Canada at hand — we come to you with an announcement… a breath of fresh air and new light into our world. Our lineup now stands 100% complete as we welcome WOODS OF YPRES' very own David Gold into our family. The four of us know Dave is the absolute perfect fit on the skins for us adding experience, knowledge and sheer passion for the metal community.

"We await his return from Korea so we may practice, hit the road… and then record our follow-up to 'Lux Aeterna' come winter of 2008."

According to GATES OF WINTER's official bio, "Lux Aeterna" "personifies [the band's] inspirations and influences into 60 minutes of pure energy, melody and passion. Sonically, GATES OF WINTER is a collection of OPETH, DREAM THEATER and DARK TRANQUILLITY combined into one wave of melodic, symphonic metal."
