Raised in hell, forged by fire and harder than Krupp Steel,
3 INCHES OF BLOOD are about to triumphantly return as one of the
biggest defenders of traditional heavy metal with their stunning new
album, Here Waits Thy Doom! The new opus was tracked in
Seattle's Sound House Recordings with renowned producer Jack Endino
(Soundgarden, High on Fire, Zeke) and is soon to be hailed as the
gospel of all things heavy.
Here Waits They Doom marks the recording debut of extremely
talented drummer Ash Pearson that lends a whole new dynamic to the
band's already lethal assault. This disc is also the first offering
where Cam Pipes handles all vocal duties with Justin Hagberg adding
some backups. Guitarist Shane Clark and Hagberg also laid down all of
the bass tracks themselves, ensuring maximum shred on the album.
Although the lineup is different, the aesthetic remains the same, and
the technical proficiency surpasses that of the last record.
Shane Clark (guitars) states: Our new album is finished and we've
named it “Here Waits Thy Doom. Much like our last record it is a
step beyond the album that precedes it. We've again taken what we do a
step further and not made Fire Up The Blades part 2, we've stuck
to our formula - no formula. We are true metal fans and we've made an
unapologetic metal record. I think this our most focused record to
date, from writing all the way to mixing there was no unnecessary drama
or too many cooks in the kitchen. This is 3 INCHES OF BLOOD at its most
punishing, epic and mighty.
The group kicks off their worldwide touring cycle for Here Waits
Thy Doom this fall embarking on a massive North American trek with
In Flames, Between The Buried and Me and The Faceless. Expect an
unrelenting touring campaign to be laid out spanning the course of 2010
and beyond.
Born out of a love for pure metal, 3 INCHES OF BLOOD have been
slaying the infidels of extreme music for nearly a decade. In that
time, they've released three albums and toured with such acclaimed acts
as Satyricon, The Black Dahlia Murder, Motorhead, Cradle of Filth or
Exodus, just to name a few. With their last album, Fire Up the
Blades, they crafted a number of undeniable anthems that crash, rip
and roar like a Medieval battleground. With their first album on
Century Media Records, Here Waits Thy Doom, 3 INCHES OF BLOOD now
up the ante and will leave every metal fan crying iron tears of pure
joy!
3 INCHES OF BLOOD represent everything that heavy metal was, is and
will be about! Here Waits Thy Doom demonstrates that the best way
to stay ahead of the heavy metal curve is to write music that comes
from the heart and sounds nothing like the horde of bands tapping into
the latest trends. To that end, they draw fuel from their favorite
artists, including Judas Priest, Mercyful Fate, UFO, and Rainbow and
compile it all into their own deadly potion.
