Fire Up the Blades PosterVancouver's 3 Inches of Blood unleash Fire Up The Blades, the sophomore release from the dual vocalist group. Recording with several band members for the first time, Fire Up The Blades truly realizes the band's full potential with lightning fast guitar work, galloping drums and over the top vocals. Produced by Joey Jordison (of Slipknot) and mixed by Zeuss (Shadows Fall), Fire Up the Blades sees 3 Inches of Blood taking the sounds of their 80s metal influences to new extremes to create a signature sound all their own. Evidence of the band's influences can also be found in much of the subject matter of the music which features many lyrics and song titles rooted in the world of fantasy. 3 Inches of Blood have skillfully built upon the foundations laid with their debut album, Advance and Vanquish, to produce a groundbreaking effort. A fast and technical album, Fire Up The Blades redefines the boundaries of hard music with songs like "Night Marauders," "The Goatriders Horde," "Forest King" and more.With track names like "The Great Hall of Feasting" and "Rejoice in the Fires of Man's Demise"--coupled with the Iron Maiden-esque cartoons in their liner notes--there is no downplaying of the fact that 3 Inches of Blood's third CD, Fire Up the Blades, furthers the group's agenda to bring old metal into the new world. Seconds into their first vocal track, unfamiliar listeners will discover a rarity in the heavy music tradition: this is truly a two-vocalist band. Cam Pipes brings forth the Iron Maiden/Bruce Dickensen-affected vocals--complete with high-register melodies--while co-frontman Jamie Hooper pulls out some of the most guttural growls on record today. (FYI, Jamie, the king of darkness called: he wants his voice back.) Fire Up the Blades is the debut of the group's new backing band and the change--especially the bionic Lamb of God-style power drumming of Alexei Rodriguez--ups the energy ante considerably. Moving furiously through 13 different old-school-meets-speed-metal tunes, the CD never really strays from the themes of medieval battle takedowns and hellfire, but tracks such as "Forest King" and "The Hydra's Teeth" show what might be considered more of a melodic side to the six-piece. You'll never hear them on mainstream radio, but Vancouver's 3 Inches of Blood has the ability to appeal to a broad spectrum of metal fans as well as to bring new ones into the fold. --Denise Sheppard Hard Rock & Metal Music CDs |
