5.0 out of 5 starsfurious Canuck metal that takes no prisoners
By Scott Hedegard on October 15, 2007
Format: Audio CD
I've loved all things heavy since I was a teenager back in the late '70's. Maybe some will sneer at me for being too old to be listening to metal, but the hell with 'em. I'm a guitarist, and I explore the instrument in all its possibilites. Metal was my escape and now I admire it for its technical precision which alt rock dweebs couldn't hope to equal, the youthful energy and just plain good playing, depending on the band. I don't like rap-metal at all, so don't even bring it up.
Three Inches Of Blood are a unique outfit for having two singers, one covering the Halford range coyote yelps, and the other spewing gutteral croaks that sound like Satan with gas. Frankly, I'm a little tired of "grunt vocalists", so having one that can sing is refreshing. Trivium, for example, needs to make up their mind on their vocals. I'd much prefer the clear singing and harmonies, but hey, nobody asked me.
That little complaint aside, Three Inches newest slab features breakneck riffing, harmonies ala Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, the imagery of medieval times and thunderous drumming and production - in other words, textbook metal. It isn't a ripoff, or a tired formula, however. What makes bands like Three Inches work is love of the music, dedication and real ambition. This is why some metal acts like Saxon, Judas Priest and the aforementioned Iron Maiden are still together and still command very respectable audiences worldwide. Critics can slobber all over the next "sensitive" songwriter, pop diva or whomever. It remains a fact though that for sheer career security, metal outrivals all other forms of rock music, and that's saying something. Getting Three Inches of Blood's latest is a good example of an unfairly maligned musical form done right.

5.0 out of 5 starsBest Relese of 2007
By R. Anderson VINE VOICE on August 30, 2007
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
I can't stop listening to this album. It is truly a metal masterpiece. I'm a 80's metal fan (megadeth, metallica, anthrax, etc). I didn't like the turn that most metal took in the mid 90's. Bands like this hearken back to the days of real metal. No holds bard in your face thrash, speed, and aggression. Every song on this album is pure metal gold. The mix of growling and operatic singing is so unique, yet fits them so well. King Diamond meets In Flames with double bass up your you know what.

Like I said, every song is a gem, but my favorites include Goatrider's Horde, God of the Cold White Silence, and Infinite Legions.

I really hope these guys get the exposure they deserve. This is the metal that metal fans desire. Keep it up 3IOB!!!!

5.0 out of 5 starsDAMN!!!
By Ryan Slater on June 28, 2007
Format: Audio CD
This is probably one of the best albums ive heard in a while(after Horse The Bands "A Natural Death"). I saw 3 Inches live last year and i thought their music at the time could not be out done but for once i was wrong and im happy for that, because this album went above and beyond any of my expectations. I talked to the lead singers and they said it was due summer of 07 and anxiously i waited and once i got it it was well worth the wait. And on top of it they added akeyboardist to the mix... f***king awesome.

5.0 out of 5 starsFire Up the Tunes!
By Josh Total on April 16, 2015
Format: MP3 Music Verified Purchase
3iob is one of those bands that you can't deny a place in your collection. The guitar work and lyrical genius that is Cam Pipes flows through this record like blood through your veins. This album is top-notch in my opinion and one of my favorites by these guys. Recommended if you like melodic metal and high-pitched, Rob Halford type lyrical madness. :)

5.0 out of 5 starsBona Fide current Metal!!!
By Nightwing's Fan VINE VOICE on September 3, 2011
Format: MP3 Music Verified Purchase
(This is more or less a review of the Band, but this album overall is great!) If you like classic metal like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest and the heavyness of current metal like Kataklysm and Shadows Fall, 3 Inches of Blood is the best of both worlds.

I've seen this band 2X in concert and met them, too. They are a great Hard Rock band out of Canada and are true rockers. The music is heavy and the lead singer's vocals, Cam Pipes, provides top notch, glass shattering vocals. Ash Pearson on drums gives us heavy, head banging hard hitting bangs for the buck along with battlefield-like fills to compliment the axe wielding talents of Justin and Shane on guitars. The previously mentioned are of the current line-up. On this CD, there was another member that did the "growl" vocals underneath the metallic vocals of Cam, but had to leave the band for voice issues. Now the growls are left to the guitarists to round out the vocal brutalness of 3IOB.

This was a good sophmore start for the band, but with each following CD release, the band has gotten stronger--especially on the current release Here Waits Thy Doom. To really get a great grip on their signature sound and some of the first blud curdling offerings from this band, Advance & Vanquishis also a great one to pick up.

Like such bands such as KISS and Slayer, to really appreciate 3IOF, you have to catch them live. I am hoping in the near future, this band will be releasing a LIVE DVD and/or CD release.

5.0 out of 5 stars51 minutes of fun!
By A. Stutheit on February 22, 2008
Format: Audio CD
Following a three year hiatus after the release of "Advance and Vanquish," 3 Inches of Blood returned in 2007 with "Fire up the Blades." So what has changed since 2004? Well, all of the musicians, for one (that's right, the former guitarists, bassist, and drummer have all been replaced!). They've also tapped a new producer (Slipknot's Joey Jordinson), and now boast substantially better guitar work, more technical drumming, more memorable and individually remarkable songs, a more pronounced thrash influence (this is easily their thrashiest release thus far), and even a few black metal tinges. With all of these changes, one might expect the new record to sound drastically different than past releases. But it doesn't; in fact, it only changes in one way - for the better: "Fire up the Blades" is hands down this Vancouver, Canada based sextet's finest effort to date.

If there was any real doubt if 3IOB were at all a metalcore band before, there should now officially be none - they are power/traditional/speed/melodic thrash through and through. This album is definitely influenced greatly by the likes of Judas Priest, Metallica (circa "Master of Puppets"), Iron Maiden, and Dokken, and it takes more than few cues from Dragonforce, as well. You will also hear shades of Motorhead, Megadeth, Yngwie Malmsteen, Thin Lizzy, Exodus, Manowar, Mercyful Fate, Slayer, Cacophony, modern thrash (a la Lamb of God and Avenged Sevenfold), Helloween, Gamma Ray, Pantera, Def Leppard, Black Sabbath, King Diamond, Saxon, and Kreator. Indeed, the final sound isn't a homage to just one band -- it is more like a throwback to all old-school metal.

Now, let's get this out of the way: It is true that Cam Pipes, um, pipes aren't the easiest thing to listen to, and take some time to get warm on you.Read more ›
