Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
With track names like "The Great Hall of Feasting" and "Rejoice in the Fires of Man's Demise"--coupled with the Iron Maiden-esque cartoons in their liner notes--there is no downplaying of the fact that 3 Inches of Blood's third CD, Fire Up the Blades, furthers the group's agenda to bring old metal into the new world. Seconds into their first vocal track, unfamiliar listeners will discover a rarity in the heavy music tradition: this is truly a two-vocalist band. Cam Pipes brings forth the Iron Maiden/Bruce Dickensen-affected vocals--complete with high-register melodies--while co-frontman Jamie Hooper pulls out some of the most guttural growls on record today. (FYI, Jamie, the king of darkness called: he wants his voice back.) Fire Up the Blades is the debut of the group's new backing band and the change--especially the bionic Lamb of God-style power drumming of Alexei Rodriguez--ups the energy ante considerably. Moving furiously through 13 different old-school-meets-speed-metal tunes, the CD never really strays from the themes of medieval battle takedowns and hellfire, but tracks such as "Forest King" and "The Hydra's Teeth" show what might be considered more of a melodic side to the six-piece. You'll never hear them on mainstream radio, but Vancouver's 3 Inches of Blood has the ability to appeal to a broad spectrum of metal fans as well as to bring new ones into the fold. --Denise Sheppard
Album Description:
Vancouver's 3 Inches of Blood unleash Fire Up The Blades, the sophomore release from the dual vocalist group. Recording with several band members for the first time, Fire Up The Blades truly realizes the band's full potential with lightning fast guitar work, galloping drums and over the top vocals. Produced by Joey Jordison (of Slipknot) and mixed by Zeuss (Shadows Fall), Fire Up the Blades sees 3 Inches of Blood taking the sounds of their 80s metal influences to new extremes to create a signature sound all their own. Evidence of the band's influences can also be found in much of the subject matter of the music which features many lyrics and song titles rooted in the world of fantasy. 3 Inches of Blood have skillfully built upon the foundations laid with their debut album, Advance and Vanquish, to produce a groundbreaking effort. A fast and technical album, Fire Up The Blades redefines the boundaries of hard music with songs like "Night Marauders," "The Goatriders Horde," "Forest King" and more.

Awesome band and great CD. I bought an older album to start and have since purchased the most recent. The newer has a new lead singer, but I am fairly certain the ad they put out for that must have read, "Looking for New Lead Vocalist to Sound Exactly Like Previous Lead Singer"...because he does...and it is fantastic.

3 Inches of Blood sounds like a myriad of bands such as HammerFall, Messiah's Kiss, Iron Maiden, Kamelot, Iced Earth, and Judas Priest. with two vocalists in the band, you would think they would try to outdo each other, but they sound well-orchestrated together. I have no complaints about this album. I hope they release a new album soon.

I never been a fan of power metal or trash unless it had some screams with brutal sounds mix with death metal and that,but when i first heard this band i just love it.This band has been called metalcore,trash,power,and even nu metal(can you believe that?NU METAL!)but don't worry this band has said that they are nu metal's number one enemy exepct for joey from slipknot(who produce this album)and no they are not nu metal.If you call yourself a metalhead,than you need to get this album and listen to ...

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 ...

I listen to an awful lot of metal and have always really like the heavy trash style that was around in the early 90s when I was in middle school. 3 Inches of Blood combines that sound with amazing 80s type vocals, the result is simply amazing. Buy this album and Advance and Vanquish (the first album) if you don't like these albums you really don't like metal or haven't listened to enough classic metal to understand how much this fushion of new and old styles blows pretty much all "new metal" out ...
