3 INCHES OF BLOOD Sets 'Fire Up The Blades' Release Date

April 19, 2007

Vancouver, B.C.-based heavy metal unit 3 INCHES OF BLOOD has completed work on their hotly anticipated new album entitled "Fire Up the Blades". The follow up to the band's 2004 release "Advance and Vanquish", "Fire Up the Blades" will drop on June 26, 2007 via Roadrunner Records.

3 INCHES OF BLOOD recorded "Fire Up the Blades" at Vancouver's legendary Armoury Studios (AC/DC, KISS) and Mushroom Studios (QUEENSRŸCHE) with producer Joey Jordison (SLIPKNOT) and engineer Dan Turner.

Darker, tighter and more dangerous than the band's previous works, "Fire Up the Blades" features songs such as "Night Marauders", "The Goatrider's Horde", "Assassins of the Light" and "Black Spire" and is full of vivid imagery, masterful guitar acrobatics and the skyscraping vocals of Cam Pipes and Jamie Hooper that 3 INCHES OF BLOOD is known for. A sneak peak at the striking "Fire Up the Blades" cover art can be viewed at this location.

The final track listing for "Fire Up the Blades" is as follows:

01. Through the Horned Gate
02. Night Marauders
03. The Goatrider's Horde
04. Trial of Champions
05. God of the Cold White Silence
06. Forest King
07. Demon's Blade
08. The Great Hall of Feasting
09. Infinite Legions
10. Assassins of the Light
11. Black Spire

13. Rejoice in the Fire of Man's Demise

3 INCHES OF BLOOD will hit the road hard in support of "Fire Up the Blades". The band has joined the lineup of Ozzfest 2007, where they will display their hard-hitting live show alongside OZZY OSBOURNE, LAMB OF GOD, LORDI, HATEBREED, NILE and many more.

In addition to Pipes and Hooper, 3 INCHES OF BLOOD features guitarists Shane Clark and Justin Hagberg, bassist Nick Cates and drummer Alexei Rodriguez.
