3 INCHES OF BLOOD Sign Worldwide Deal With Century Media Records,
Complete Successful Tour With Slipknot




One of the biggest defenders of traditional heavy metal, 3 INCHES OF BLOOD, has crafted a new dynamic, epic opus of grandeur that is soon to be hailed as the gospel of all things heavy. Century Media Records is proud to welcome these metal warriors to its worldwide family roster and fans can expect their massively anticipated new full-length release this fall.

Cam Pipes (vocals) further comment: “Ever since our departure from our previous label, Century Media has been in the forefront trying to get us to sign with them. No other label showed as much enthusiasm and belief in our band as they did. Right from the start we all got a great feeling from the whole Century Media team. We feel comfortable with the vision they have for us and are confident they have the necessary tools and motivation to help us in the ways our previous label didn't. We can’t wait to unleash this new material upon the masses.”

3 INCHES OF BLOOD entered Seattle’s London Bridge Studios to commence the recording process in mid April with renowned producer Jack Endino (High On Fire). The group took a break from the studio for a slew of high profile shows with genre leaders Slipknot and stay tuned to (check below) for video updates and studio reports.

Pipes further states: “The show with Slipknot were absolutely amazing. Any band would be fortunate to get to play in front of their crowd and because we are such a different band than Slipknot. This was an excellent opportunity for us to put ourselves in front of people who have never heard us before and make some new fans. Obviously, Joey Jordison (Slipknot drummer), our friend and past producer, had a part in getting us on these shows and we are massively grateful to him and everyone else that made it happen."

Born out of a love for pure metal, weaned on a diet of fantasy and mythology, 3 INCHES OF BLOOD have been slaying the infidel for nearly a decade. In that time, they've released three albums and splattered the ground with crimson streaks while on tour with such acclaimed acts as Satyricon, Black Dahlia Murder, Motorhead and Cradle of Filth, just to name a few. These are mighty accomplishments for dedicated warriors from Vancouver, British Columbia, a region that's not exactly the Camelot of heavy metal. With their last album, Fire Up the Blades, they have surpassed even their own manly exploits, crafting a number of undeniable anthems that crash, rip and roar like a Medieval skirmish.

3 INCHES OF BLOOD demonstrate that the best way to stay ahead of the heavy metal curve is to write music that comes from the heart and sounds nothing like the horde of bands tapping into the latest trends. To that end, they draw fuel from their favorite artists, including Judas Priest, Mercyful Fate, UFO, Rainbow and Enslaved and compile it all into their own lethal potion.

One of the masterminds behind DAATH's guitar work wants to teach you all his secrets. Want to play like Emil of Daath? Read below to find out how.

I have been teaching in the Southeast for years, and I actually enjoy
the exchange of information. There are a lot of misconceptions about
the art of guitar playing, and I'm totally into the idea of exposing
the facts while nerding out nation wide.

I will be offering anything from how to play Daath songs to soloing
strategies or anything else a serious guitar player would want to know

Check the DAATH tour schedule to see when I'll be in your area
For more info hit me up at emillessons@gmail.com
