Head over now to www.myspace.com/3iobto stream the new track. The group will shoot a video for this song in the coming weeks that will be produced and directed by the acclaimed Rick Podd, who has worked on such movies as The Watcher & Hellraiser.

3 INCHES OF BLOOD will be performing a very special headlining, one-off CD release show at The Knitting Factory in Los Angeles on Wednesday, Sept. 9th, so if you are in the Southern California area, you don't want to miss out on this one.

Born out of a love for pure metal, weaned on a diet of fantasy and mythology, 3 INCHES OF BLOOD have been slaying the infidel for nearly a decade. In that time, they've released three albums and splattered the ground with crimson streaks while on tour with such acclaimed acts as Satyricon, The Black Dahlia Murder, Motorhead and Cradle of Filth, just to name a few. These are mighty accomplishments for dedicated warriors from Vancouver, British Columbia, a region that's not exactly the Camelot of heavy metal. With their last album, Fire Up the Blades, they have surpassed even their own manly exploits, crafting a number of undeniable anthems that crash, rip and roar like a Medieval skirmish.
