There's a reason fans have come to 3 Inches Of Blood's shows wearing Viking helmets and brandishing both real and plastic swords. Weaned on a diet of fantasy and mythology, 3 Inches of Blood have reinvigorated the spirit of true metal, crafting a baker's dozen of anthems and stormers that crash, rip and roar like a Medieval skirmish on new album 'Fire Up the Blades'. They draw fuel from their favourite artists, including Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Mercyful Fate, Manowar and Enslaved and compile it all into their own lethal potion. Adding to the skull-splintering vibe that emanates from 'Fire Up The Blades' is Slipknot drummer Joey Jordison, who produced the record.
