Century Media Records reports:

The world is eagerly awaiting the triumphant return of one of the biggest defenders of traditional heavy metal, 3 INCHES OF BLOOD, and after one listen to the new album’s vicious lead-off cut, 'Battles and Brotherhood', it is very evident that the band has crafted the definitive offering of their already much heralded career. Head over now to here to stream the new track. The group will shoot a video for this song in the coming weeks that will be produced and directed by the acclaimed Rick Podd, who has worked on such movies as The Watcher & Hellraiser.

3 Inches Of Blood will be performing a very special headlining, one-off CD release show at The Knitting Factory in Los Angeles on Wednesday, September 9th, so if you are in the Southern California area, you don’t want to miss out on this one. Also, look for the band touring throughout North America all this fall with IN FLAMES, BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME and THE FACELESS.

Visit myspace.com/3iob to view their complete itinerary. Here Waits Thy Doom will set the new standard for heavy metal, so be sure to mark your calendars as this monumental offering is set for a September 8th release.

Born out of a love for pure metal, weaned on a diet of fantasy and mythology, 3 Inches Of Blood have been slaying the infidel for nearly a decade. In that time, they've released three albums and splattered the ground with crimson streaks while on tour with such acclaimed acts as SATYRICON, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, MOTÖRHEAD and CRADLE OF FILTH, just to name a few. These are mighty accomplishments for dedicated warriors from Vancouver, British Columbia, a region that's not exactly the Camelot of heavy metal. With their last album, Fire Up the Blades, they have surpassed even their own manly exploits, crafting a number of undeniable anthems that crash, rip and roar like a Medieval skirmish.
