Battlecry Under a Winter Sun
2009 reissue of the debut album from the Canadian sextet featuring four bonus tracks. The band is made up of former Hardcore kids who decided that irony-free sword and sorcery Metal was a lot more fun. Combining the pomp and grandiosity of old-school Metal with the aggression and cheap production values of Punk, this has drawn favorable comparisons in the rock press with early Iron Maiden. 3 Inches of Blood have been slaying the infidel and defending the faith for nearly eight years. In that time, they've released two albums and splattered the ground with crimson streaks while on tour with Satyricon, Black Dahlia Murder, Motorhead and Cradle of Filth. These are mighty accomplishments for dedicated warriors from Vancouver, British Columbia, a region that's not exactly the Camelot of Heavy Metal.
