3 INCHES OF BLOOD – “Long Live Heavy Metal” Release Date!

Traditionalist metal veterans 3 INCHES OF BLOOD are set to release their highly anticipated 5th studio album, Long Live Heavy Metal, on March 27th via Century Media Records. Keeping true to their core and bringing their forthcoming album title to life, fans can expect a blast of pure metal assured to leave no face un-melted.

“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,” says guitarist Justin Hagberg. For Long Live Heavy Metal, 3 Inches of Blood reunited with producer and engineer Terry “Sho” Murray (City of Fire, Exhibitionists), who worked with the band on their 7″, Anthems for the Victorious.

“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,” explains vocalist Cam Pipes. “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!”

A tracklisting has yet to be unveiled, but the group have delivered a bunch of tour dates. This spring, 3 Inches of Blood, along with Devildriver, The Faceless, Dying Fetus, Job for a Cowboy, Impending Doom and Wretched, take off on this year’s Metal Alliance Tour, and they’ll be making a number of Canadian stops, from Montreal out to Vancouver, on the trip.
