Breaking news, folks, the most epic metal band ever, 3 INCHES OF BLOOD, is back and ready to unleash some new music upon the world 🤘💥. We’re talking, like, totally not just a reunion, but actual new songs and possibly even a whole album 🎶. At the Hell’s Heroes festival in Houston, Texas, vocalist Cam Pipes was all like, ” Yeah, dude, we’re working on some new stuff, and it’s gonna be awesome 😎.” When asked about the plan, he said, “We’re gonna take our time, not rush it, and make sure it’s good enough for our fans 🙏.” I mean, who doesn’t love a good comeback story, right? 🙌
So, 3 INCHES OF BLOOD is back, and they’re not just playing some old songs; they’re actually writing new ones 📝. Cam Pipes said, “There’s lots of ideas in our camp with songwriting 🤔.” They’re not gonna rush it, though; they wanna make sure it’s perfect 💯. They’ve got a few shows lined up, including the Hell’s Heroes festival, but they’re not gonna be super busy this year 📆. They’re saving that for 2027, when they’ll unleash their new music upon the world 🌎.
But, like, what about the doubts, man? 🤔 Did they ever think, “Hey, maybe we shouldn’t get back together”? 🤷♂️ Cam said, “I don’t think we’ve doubted the motivation that we had necessarily 🤔.” They just took their time, discussed it, and made sure everyone was on the same page 📝. And, dude, the response has been amazing 🤩. They’re having fun, and they’re giving the people what they want 🎉.
At the Aftershock festival in Sacramento, California, guitarist Shane Clark was all like, “We’re gonna keep playing some fly-in gigs, but for the rest of the year, we’re just gonna write songs and see if it works 📝.” They’re not gonna release anything that’s not up to snuff 🚫. They’re taking their time, and they’re not gonna rush it ⏱️.
So, are they still signed to Roadrunner? 🤔 Shane said, “No… After ‘Fire Up The Blades’ — so this is, I wanna say, 2008 — they wanted to re-negotiate our contract into a deal we were not into at all 🚫.” They asked, “If we don’t take this new contract, what’s the deal?” And Roadrunner was all like, “Well, we’re gonna have to drop you 🚫.” And they were all, “Fucking right, let’s say no, then we’ll get dropped 😂.” They had a successful year being label-less, toured Europe with EXODUS, and then got signed to Century Media 🎉.
As for how they’re gonna make new music available, Shane said, “We don’t know if we’re gonna do an album or a couple of singles 🤔.” They’re not sure, but they’re gonna figure it out 🤓. They might just release singles, like in the old days, when people actually listened to music 🎶. I mean, who needs albums anymore, right? 🙄
3 INCHES OF BLOOD announced its split in June 2015, sixteen years after the band’s formation 📆. They wrote, “Naturally, people will have questions as to why we have collectively made this decision 🤔.” But, dude, they’re back now, and they’re better than ever 🤘. Prior to January 2024, their last performance took place on November 7, 2015, at the Commodore Ballroom 🏠.
Formed in 1999, 3 INCHES OF BLOOD released five studio albums 🎶: “Battlecry Under A Wintersun”, “Advance And Vanquish”, “Fire Up The Blades”, “Here Waits Thy Doom”, and “Long Live Heavy Metal” 🤘. They also issued three EPs: “Sect Of The White Worm”, “Trial Of Champions”, and “Anthems For The Victorious” 🎉.
So, there you have it, folks, 3 INCHES OF BLOOD is back, and they’re ready to rock 🤘🎸. Get ready for some new music, and let’s party like it’s 1999 🎉🕺. And, dude, don’t forget to follow them on social media, or you’ll be, like, totally left behind 📱👀.
