BraveWords.com has received the following press release:

The world is eagerly awaiting the triumphant return of one of the biggest defenders of traditional heavy metal, 3 INCHES OF BLOOD, and the anticipation continues to build to epic proportions. The stunning new album, Here Waits Thy Doom, was tracked in Seattle’s Sound House Recordings with renowned producer Jack Endino (HIGH ON FIRE) and is soon to be hailed as the gospel of all things heavy.

Shane Clark (guitars) states: “Our new album is finished and we've named it Here Waits Thy Doom. Much like our last record it is a step beyond the album that precedes it. We've again taken what we do a step further and not made Fire Up The Blades part 2, we've stuck to our formula - no formula. We are true metal fans and we've made an unapologetic metal record. I think this our most focused record to date, from writing all the way to mixing there was no unnecessary drama or too many cooks in the kitchen. This is 3 Inches Of Blood at its most punishing, epic and mighty.”

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, 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.

3 Inches Of Blood demonstrate that the best way to stay ahead of the heavy metal curve is to write music that comes from the heart and sounds nothing like the horde of bands tapping into the latest trends. To that end, they draw fuel from their favorite artists, including JUDAS PRIEST, MERCYFUL FATE, UFO, RAINBOW and ENSLAVED and compile it all into their own lethal potion.

In 2009, 3 Inches Of Blood raises the chalice another notch leaving their definitive mark on the metal genre.
