3 Inches Of Blood — Here Waits Thy Doom

To be honest, I haven't listened to a 3 Inches Of Blood record since 2004's Advance And Vanquish. And although the lineup on that record and the lineup on their latest is almost entirely different, the music is still very much the same. Here Waits Thy Doom is full of over-the-top call-to-arms heavy metal anthems in the spirit of King Diamond,...

Slipknot Reign In Toronto

The vibe outside of Toronto's Ricoh Coliseum on Friday night would've been more Heavy Metal Parking Lot-ish if it wasn't for the drizzly weather, though made-up and masked fans could be seen tossing beer cans while screaming at and scaring the daylights out of innocent passersby before the show. And Slipknot's cult-like following came out in...

3 Inches Of Blood — Battlecry Under A Winter Sun

Battlecry Under A Winter Sun is volume one of Vancouver's 3 Inches Of Blood, back when the group shared stages with Hot Hot Heat and before they shed two-thirds of their roster. The album went somewhat unnoticed in many parts of the country when it was originally released in 2002, but it became a lightning rod for the burgeoning east Vancouver...

3 Inches Of Blood — Fire Up The Blades

Each generation of metal bands seems hell-bent on one-upping the last one by raising the levels of extremity beyond what was previously considered "heavy." Every few years, bands manage to fit more notes in their solos and raise their BPMs to new heights, throwing down the gauntlet for yet another band to riff harder and scream louder....

Cancer Bats Tear Toronto Apart

It's appropriate that 3 Inches Of Blood's T-shirts have "BLOOD. HOCKEY. HEAVY METAL" written on their backs. While there wasn't any blood (that I could see, at least) or hockey at Toronto's Mod Club last night when the Vancouver metallers opened for hometown hardcore heroes Cancer Bats, there certainly was a LOT of sweat, and the "blood" and "...

Pride Tiger Heart 3 Inches Of Blood

Initially I thought this would be a breeze, seeing as Sunny [Dhak], Matt [Wood] and myself from Pride Tiger were once in 3 Inches Of Blood and Mike [Payette] has been tight with the boys since the band's inception. But when it came down to putting pen to paper I realized there are way too many stories for a 500-word article. It's amazing to me...
