Description
How could Canadian heavy metal band 3 Inches of Blood dial up the intensity even more after their 2004 masterpiece Advance and Vanquish? Well, by bringing in Slipknot drummer Jordy Jordison to produce their next record, and adding a new instrumental line-up of former Allfather lead guitarist Justin Hagberg and former Walls of Jericho drummer Alexei Rodriguez to the band's
unique dual vocalist assault of Cam Pipes on "clean" vocals and Jamie Hooper on "scream" vocals. The result was 2007's Fire Up the Blades, which, as Hooper put it, was "a faster, more intense version of us." Which means that albums don't get any faster and more intense than this one; that the
epic lyrics are good enough to have been penned by George R.R. Martin of Game of Thrones fame is just a bonus. Speaking of bonus, for the vinyl debut
of Fire Up the Blades (and after consulting the band) we've upped the stakes with a 2-LP release featuring an entire side of extra tracks that were released right around the time the album was, including their cover of the Lucifer's Friend song "In the Time of Job When Mammon Was a Yippie." All pressed in "Crimson Fire" vinyl housed inside a gatefold jacket with lyrics…limited to 1250 ferocious copies!
