One look at the axe-wielding marauder (drawn by famed heavy metal illustrator Edward Repka) on the front of this album and you know it’s not for the faint of heart. Canadian metal band 3 Inches of Blood’s musical attack (an appropriate term indeed) featured a unique, dual lead vocal line-up of Cam Pipes on “clean” vocals and Jamie Hooper on “screaming” vocals, with bludgeoning guitars (okay, axes) provided by Sunny Dhak and Bobby Froese (Dhak, Froese, and drummer Matt Wood left after this album to form Pride Tiger). Though this record came out in 2004 on the Roadrunner label, it wears it’s ’80s metal allegiances on it’s sleeve, harkening back to the vein-popping intensity of vintage Judas Priest and Accept. Which makes it’s previous absence on vinyl all the more inexplicable… folks have been waiting for this one. Remastered for a blood red vinyl pressing on it’s 20th anniversary, with a full-color inner sleeve sporting lyrics. Limited to 1000 copies… storm your record store!
