The Device Release New Single “In Memory of David Gold”

Posted in Whathaveyou on June 3rd, 2021 by JJ Koczan

As the title suggests, the new single from The Device is a tribute to David Gold, best known for his work as frontman and main songwriter of Canada’s Woods of Ypres. 2021 marks 10 years since Gold‘s death in a car accident, and the track, called simply “In Memory of David Gold,” does well in embodying the spirit of Woods of Ypres‘ genre-blending approach, as The Device touch on black metal, psychedelia, sludge and doom in the span of nine-plus minutes. It follows on from their late 2020 EP, Tribute Album (review here), and indeed gives that new meaning.

No clue if The Device knew Gold personally or just admired his work, but either way, he’s a good figure to hold up as an aspiration, and if you haven’t heard Woods before, that’s a band you should probably check out too.

The single is out as of today and you can of course stream it below:

After a well-received debut shroom-doom EP Tribute Album, the anonymous outlet comes back with another portion of music. In Memory of David Gold presents a sound leaning more into traditional doom with blackened elements. Though the sound is more polished than on their EP, it still carries an organic, stoner rawness.

The track seems to continue a trend of paying a tribute, this time to a Canadian doom metal legend, David Gold. The mastermind behind Woods of Ypres was a huge inspiration and an important soul in the early stages of the journey through life of The Device’s members. The track blends the atmosphere and heaviness of doom with black metal harshness and tremolos.

Lyrics – Krystian Kwidzinski
