Per TRS.


* BadassBaritone: David Gold's speaking and singing voice were both very deep, which led to comparisons to Type O Negative's Peter Steele (especially on later albums.)

* RevolvingDoorBand: Woods of Ypres were prone to numerous lineup changes, with Wiki/TheOtherWiki listing ''24'' different official members during their 9 year run. Their live lineups ranged from 3 members (2002) to 6 members (2008), only two musicians (David Gold and mid-2000s keyboardist Jessica Rose) even appeared on ''two'' of their main 5 studio albums, and their lineup almost completely changed whenever David moved to a different town, as seen when relocating to Toronto in 2003 and Sault Ste. Marie in 2008.

* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY: Band members officially pronounced "Ypres" as "Ee-pray", though mispronunciations were common from those unfamiliar with the band, and even from some admitted fans. Contrast with the real Belgian municipality of Ypres, which is commonly pronounced "Ee-pers"

Badass Mustache and Badass Beard were merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. Having facial hair is not enough to qualify. To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with manliness in some way. Please read the trope description before re-adding to make sure the example qualifies.

* BadassBeard: David Gold let his beard grow out during their last tours and recording sessions, and wouldn't trim or shave it until their conclusion. His beard attracted enough notice that Woods of Ypres held a contest for band merchandise in 2011 for the fan who could grow the best beard over a few months' time. The contest was never completed before David died that December.
* TheBandMinusTheFace: Woods of Ypres' surviving members from their last lineup regrouped in guitarist Joel Violette's existing black metal band [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Music/Thrawsunblat Thrawsunblat]] in 2012, with Rae Amitay replacing David Gold as the project's drummer. Their music is closer in style to Woods of Ypres' early black metal work, though with more of an atmospheric/folk influence.

updated name of the Juno they won to reflect the current name of the award


The band had [[RevolvingDoorBand notoriously unstable line-ups]], with band leader David Gold the only constant member. After a recording session in August 2010, the band seemingly broke up, but this was soon revealed to be a ruse as Gold revealed that they had in fact signed to UK metal label Earache Records, who began reissuing the band's back catalogue the following year. However, tragedy struck when in December 2011, shortly after finishing recording for their fifth album, David Gold was killed at the age of 31 in a car accident. The rest of the band at the time decided against continuing without Gold and laid Woods of Ypres to rest permanently not long after. Earache Records posthumously released their final album ''Woods 5'' in 2012, which, alongside widespread critical acclaim, won the band a Juno Award in 2013 for Best Metal/Hard Music Album of the Year.
