3 Inches of Blood was formed in 2000 in Vancouver, Canada. Initially playing straight, eighties’ style heavy metal in the vein of bands such as Running Wild and Judas Priest, before the addition of heavy vocalist Cam Pipes and the recording of their debut album Battlecry Under a Winter Sun in 2002 on the Teenage Rampage label. This release went by almost unnoticed until the band’s UK distribution label decided to put them on as a support slot for a tour with platinum rock band The Darkness. This exposure gained them much critical attention and acclaim in the world of underground metal, and they were signed up by big-label subsidiary Roadrunner Records in 2004. Roadrunner put out an advertising blitz, and the track 
Deadly Sinners from the band’s sophomore release Advance and Vanquish appeared on numerous sampler CDs, compilations and even a video game (Tony Hawk’s Underground 2) creating a huge press hype for the band that caused their popularity to skyrocket, with a slot on 2005’s Road Rage tour gaining them many new fans.
The band’s over-the-top lyrical style and high-pitched (which were based on the vocals of the band The Winter Massacre), Rob Halford-esque vocals, combined with their appearance in official photos, which owes more to modern “scene” fashion and clothing labels such as Atticus, have lead some to dub them as a parody of the classic heavy metal acts they claim to seek to give tribute to. When questioned on this, vocalist Cam Pipes gave the following statement: “Just because we’re a bunch of young guys singing about the greatness of heavy metal doesn’t mean we’re some joke band.” .

Both screamer and the regular vocalist are pretty annoying

Terribly, terribly cheesy. In an oddly good way though, it actually improves the music somehow.

I grew into Fire up the Blades. It has some catchy shit in it. Advance and Vanquish will always be a masterpiece of furious riffing. I think cutting out Jamie was a big mistake, he added that something extra. As for Brian, I'll miss the way he was always on the 3IOB forums, chinwagging with the fans. RIP bro.

Here Waits Thy Doom is the best thing they've done since Advance and Vanquish! Still doesn't top the latter release, but it better than Fire up the Blades! [2]
