3 Inches of Blood

Canadian sextet 3 Inches of Bloodstream comes from Vancouver and features Cam Pipes (clean vocals), Jamie Hooper (shrieked vocals), Sunny Dhak (business lead electric guitar), Bobby Froese (tempo guitar), Full Trawick (bass) and Geoff Trawick (drums). A throwback to large metal’s fresh 1980s heyday, the band’s music includes Iron Maiden-like galloping riffs and solos speeded up to thrash steel tempos, topped with Dungeons & Dragons-styled lyrics and game titles such as for example “Destroy the Orcs” and “Trip Darkhorse, Trip.” Their debut five-song EP of 2000 quickly sold-out in the band’s stomping grounds, and resulted in the next year’s full-length, Battlecry Under a Wintertime Sun, that was originally only given an extremely limited Canadian launch. However, it quickly wormed its method over the boundary and over the oceans because of positive person to person in the underground metallic scene, aswell as the band’s continuous touring. All of this led to a fresh record agreement with legendary metallic label Roadrunner Information, and, after breaking in a fresh rhythm section comprising bassist Brian Redman, and drummer Matt Real wood, Three Ins of Blood documented 2004’s sophomore recording, Progress and Vanquish. Soon later on, guitarists Froese and Dhak remaining the music group and were changed by Justin Hagberg and Shane Clark. They inched actually nearer to reconstructing an ideal ’80s metallic beast using their 2007’s TURN UP the Cutting blades before Jamie Hooper, the final remaining unique member, still left the music group the following calendar year. Hagberg found his vocal responsibilities and the music group soldiered on within their pursuit of steel glory, launching 2009’s Right here Waits Thy Doom and 2012’s Longer Live ROCK, both through Hundred years Media.
