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 album 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 www.myspace.com/3iob 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.
In 2009, 3 INCHES OF BLOOD raises the chalice another notch leaving their
definitive mark on the metal genre
