“Jolting chugs and booming drums will get heads moving as the vocals crackle with passion way up in the stratosphere, and near the end the music receives a surge of energy, through a rapid riff-pulse and bombastic percussion, as a prelude to a blazing finale in which all the song’s ingredients, including Alyssa‘s intense, spine-tingling voice, unite in a display of tragic magnificence. (You’ll probably find by then that the song has also gotten well and truly stuck in your head.)” – No Clean Singing (single – I’ve Made It To Hell) (2023)

================================================

About The Single Artwork:

The artwork has a very gothic atmosphere and hand-drawn feel with an emphasis on bringing some mystery to the music while still relating directly to the lyrics themselves. It really captures the vibe of the album as a whole. Its meant to suck you into the cemetery leaving you feeling like you’re not quite alone and the green color really makes it feel creepier rather than desolate.

About the single as a whole:
The track is faster paced than songs we’ve done in the past, but still keeps the dark lyrical themes, giving it an interesting contrast between music and words. Once the song has built up, the chorus unleashes an incredibly catchy melody that really sticks with you. It’s heavy, dark, and movable all in one.

Unleashing their self-titled debut album in 2023, Dead Fields Of Woolwich unveils their first single “Cult of The Cemetery” off their forthcoming sophomore album “Monarch of The Grave” due out late this year.

Dead Fields Of Woolwich has its beginnings going back to the autumn of 2020 in North Bay, Ontario, Canada, when multi-instrumentalist Kye Bell (Withing Nostalgia, Falamh) created a gloomy, doom metal project focused on dreary lyrics and a gothic-laden sound. Recruiting Alyssa Broere on vocals, the dark twosome began their musical journey. Now, for their next follow-up and second album, the duo has grown to a full-fledged band with the addition of guitarist Dave Strba, bassist Greg Meir, and drummer Kyle Taylor.

Band founder and guitarist Kye Bell explains further on the band’s evolution:

“The sound has evolved since the first release. When writing the first album, the focus was more on powerful chords and drudging riffs. Those things are still there in small doses, but this album is full of harder-hitting songs and much more memorable parts that stick with you after the listen is done. This album breaks away from the typical Doom formula and kind of takes on its own shape. The songwriting has become more refined over time as well, lyrics are more concrete with well-defined concepts. I feel like this particular single, Cult of the Cemetery, will be very well received due to the more rock-rounded nature of the song while still maintaining its heaviness and its foot firmly planted in the metal realm. It opens the doors to a different audience, yet still stays true to the dark nature of the band.”

With its very memorable riffs, this new single is catchy hell and dark as the grave it speaks of. Melodic and melancholic, it is recommended for fans of Paradise Lost, Type O Negative, and Katatonia.

Enter The Dark World Of DEAD FIELDS of WOOLWICH With Their Video “I’ve Made It To Hell” Off Self-Titled Debut Album

Dead Fields Of Woolwich has its beginnings going back to the autumn of 2020 in North Bay, Ontario, Canada when multi-instrumentalist Kye Bell (Withing Nostalgia, Falamh) created a gloomy, doom metal project focused on dreary lyrics and a gothic-laden sound. Now, the band, though still considered a solo project at heart, has grown from an individual entity to a dark twosome with the addition of Alyssa Broere for session vocals and the upcoming release of the self-titled debut album. Thus, far they have released two videos and are following them up with “I’ve Made It To Hell”, which Bell comments on:

“I chose this one to showcase as the single for the album because it has a great dirgy riff until it hits a catchy chorus. Probably more simple than other songs but packs a great punch with its contrasting riffs of heavy and catchy especially as the last chorus comes around. This one deals with the idea of transitioning to the afterlife and being stuck there. I took the phrase “let me know when you’ve made it there safe” and applied it to the afterlife.”

Dead Fields Of Woolwich hopes that their initial offering will be met with praise and excitement. According to Bell, it was very fulfilling to create an album that is truly his own and he hopes there is a positive reception to the gothic elements fused with the heavy doom. His love of gothic culture is interwoven in all of his songs to deliver a feeling of something haunting and heavy.

“I’ve Made It To Hell” is faster than the other six tracks on the album and is an excellent introduction to the dark and at times, bleak record. Its themes focus on acceptance of death and personal struggles from within and also touch on dark romanticism and twisted love all while trudging along with heaviness and memorable hooks.

Melodic and melancholic, it is recommended for fans of Paradise Lost, Type O Negative, and Katatonia.

=========================================================

The album as a whole explained by Kye Bell:
As a whole the album deals with a lot of darker topics like acceptance of death and personal struggles from within but also touches on dark romanticism and twisted love all while trudging along with heaviness and memorable hooks.

Track by Track explained by Kye Bell:

1. To Those Who Flower In Darkness – The album opens with the first track which was released as a single back in late 2022. Starting off with mid-tempo guitars that chug along in the back while the clean overlapping riff builds to a climax and releases into a heavy hook. From there, things are taken down for the verse only to build back up into the chorus. As the bridge and solo come into play melody becomes a major player and then exits into one final chorus. Lyrically it deals with using your inner darkness to improve yourself and build yourself up instead of letting it pull you down.

2. Midnight In The Garden Of Earthly Delights – This particular song starts with a nice heavy doom riff into a guitar harmony over the verses. Once the chorus kicks in you can hear a Type O Negative influence in the style on the guitar. Reaching the bridge it dives back into a classic doom-style riff. This one showcases a more romantic side than other songs on the album, basically finding a person who truly feels like your other half.

3. 31 Days For 31 Curses – One of my favorites from this album for sure. A nice slow-dirgey intro that breaks into a pre-verse like a heavy cold rain coming down. Once again the music leaves room for things to breathe during the verse then climbs back up into the storm for the chorus. As things quiet down a single guitar comes in ushering in a heavy bridge and powerful solo. As far as lyrics go this track talks about feeling like the month of October is doomed to be cursed for you because so many bad things have happened then.

4. Casualties Of Circumstance – I’ve always felt this one had an Alice In Chains or A Pale Horse Named Death vibe to it. Starting with a solid rhythm and single winding note into going into a pretty straightforward palm muted verse the song then comes into a powerful chorus. Following that we hear more harmonizing guitars over a tom groove. When we reach the peak we are treated with what I would call a simple but epic solo followed by a gothic-sounding melodic lead to the outro. I wrote this one based on the acceptance of death and that sometimes bad things happen just because of a circumstance you’re in.

5. Winter’s For Poets – This one came out as probably the most unique song. Starting with a very “Rotting Christ” style riff into the verse it builds up and erupts into the chorus. As it approaches the end it goes into a nice yet mournful little outro. In terms of lyrics this talks about the isolation of winter and how it’s a great time to create music just because going outside is not really appealing.

6. I’ve Made It To Hell – I chose this one to showcase as the single for the album because it has a great dirgy riff until it hits a catchy chorus. Probably more simple than other songs but packs a great punch with its contrasting riffs of heavy and catchy especially as the last chorus comes around. This one deals with the idea of transitioning to the afterlife and being stuck there.

=======================================================

Fun Facts – Story Angles:

1. The name of the band comes from where I (Kye Bell) grew up in southern Ontario. I remember lots of old fields, scarecrows, and dense woods of twisted trees.

2. Recording initially started by using actual amps but was re-record using different amp simulators

3. Most of the songs are based on true life events that have happened to me. For example, Casualties Of Circumstance is actually about a pet rat that gave birth but ended up eating all her young, and 31 Days for 31 Curses was inspired by losing a pet cat who I tried to save with everything I had but in the end, was not enough among other bad things that all seem to have happened in October.

4. Much of the drums are a mix of programming and live drums played on an Ekit.

5. During the shooting of the first music video you can see a book being read. It’s actually an old book from the 60’s dealing with black magic and demon incantation.
