3 INCHES OF BLOOD Reveal Details For 'Long Live Heavy Metal'!

Canadian Metallers 3 INCHES OF BLOOD will be releasing their fifth studio album, 'Long Live Heavy Metal', on March 27th via Century Media Records. What can fans expect? "Fans can expect a blast of pure Metal assured to leave no face unmelted!"

'Long Live Heavy Metal' will be the fifth musical chapter from a band that is considered one of the best Canadian Metal exports when it comes to Heavy Music. Here is what guitarist Justin Hagberg had to say about 'Long Live Metal':

"'Long Live Heavy Metal' is the fifth chapter in the book of 3 INCHES OF BLOOD, and we couldn't be more pleased and proud of our new onslaught of honest Heavy Metal."

This time around, the band recruited producer and engineer Terry "Sho" Murray (CITY OF FIRE, EXHIBITIONISTS), who worked with the band on their seven-inch single, 'Anthems For The Victorious'. This is what vocalist Cam Pipes had to say about the bands next musical mission:

"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!"

01. Metal Woman
02. My Sword Will Not Sleep
03. Leather Lord
04. Chief And The Blade
