Fire Up The Blade – 3 Inches Of Blood – LP – Brand New Vinyl (Arrives in 20days)

How could Canadian heavy metal band 3 Inches of
Blood dial up the intensity even more after their
2004 masterpiece Advance and Vanquish? Well,
by bringing in Slipknot drummer Jordy Jordison
to produce their next record, and adding a new
instrumental line-up of former Allfather lead
guitarist Justin Hagberg and former Walls of
Jericho drummer Alexei Rodriguez to the band’s
unique dual vocalist assault of Cam Pipes on
“clean” vocals and Jamie Hooper on “scream”
vocals. The result was 2007’s Fire Up the Blades,
which, as Hooper put it, was “a faster, more intense
version of us.” Which means that albums don’t get
any faster and more intense than this one; that the
epic lyrics are good enough to have been penned
by George R.R. Martin of Game of Thrones fame is
just a bonus. Speaking of bonus, for the vinyl debut
of Fire Up the Blades (and after consulting the band)
we’ve upped the stakes with a 2-LP release featuring an entire side of extra tracks that
were released right around the time the album was, including their cover of the Lucifer’s Friend
song “In the Time of Job When Mammon Was a Yippie.” All pressed in “Crimson Fire” vinyl
housed inside a gatefold jacket with lyrics…limited to 1250 ferocious copies!
