Limited vinyl edition with the entire album in cd format (in a transparent plastic sleeve) as bonus Proud defenders of the faith 3 Inches Of Blood have recorded their fifth album ‘Long Live Heavy Metal’ at the Vogville Studios and Profile Studios in Vancouver with the producer and engineer of their rare ‘Anthems For the Victorious’ 7”, Terry ‘Sho’ Murray (City of Fire, Exhibitionists). ‘Long Live Heavy Metal’ promises to be another kick-ass collection of scorching, face-melting, no-B.S. traditionalist heavy metal. Vocalist Cam Pipes had the following to say about Long Live Heavy Metal: “When a band is releasing a new record, they often speak about it being their most important work or best album to date. Regardless of how clichéd either statement may sound, I think we would say both apply to this album. All of us have a special feeling about this one. We‘re more committed than ever to the cause of real, honest, no bullshit heavy metal. No trends, no fucking around!’ Powered by the glass-shattering vocals of Pipes, the blistering dual guitar work of Justin Hagberg and Shane Clark, and the powerful drums of Ash Pearson, 3 Inches Of Blood formed in 1999 in Victoria, British Columbia. The band relocated to Vancouver shortly thereafter, where they dominated the local scene with their demo, ‘Sect of the White Worm’, and their debut full-length, ‘Battlecry Under A Winter Sun’. The intense buzz surrounding the band at this time earned them a support slot on tour with multi-platinum rock superstars, The Darkness. It wasn’t long before every metal label under the sun was competing to sign the band. Track listing: 1. Metal Woman 2. My Sword Will Not Sleep 3. Leather Lord 4. Chief And The Blade 5.
