3 INCHES OF BLOOD are a Canadian heavy metal band known for their high-energy performances and unique blend of traditional heavy metal and thrash influences. Formed in 1999 in Vancouver, British Columbia, the band went through several lineup changes in its early years before solidifying its roster.
The band’s core members included Cam Pipes on vocals, Jamie Hooper and Justin Hagberg on guitars, Nick Cates on bass, and Ash Pearson on drums. Their distinctive sound featured dueling guitar harmonies, powerful vocals from Pipes, and lyrics inspired by fantasy, mythology, and epic battles, creating a signature style that appealed to both classic heavy metal enthusiasts and fans of the modern metal scene.
3 INCHES OF BLOOD released their debut album, “Battlecry Under a Winter Sun,” in 2002, which gained them recognition in the underground metal scene. However, it was their sophomore effort, “Advance And Vanquish,” released in 2004, that catapulted them to wider acclaim. The album’s success was bolstered by the inclusion of standout tracks like “Deadly Sinners” and “Destroy the Orcs,” which became fan favorites and helped the band secure a dedicated following.
Over the years, 3 INCHES OF BLOOD continued to release albums and tour extensively, sharing stages with prominent metal acts and leaving their mark on the international metal scene. Some of their other notable albums included “Fire Up the Blades” (2007) and “Long Live Heavy Metal” (2012), both of which showcased the band’s commitment to preserving the spirit of traditional heavy metal.
Despite enduring lineup changes and shifts in the metal landscape, the band maintained their dedication to their craft and the metal genre. Their music and live performances were celebrated for their energetic and unapologetically old-school approach, making them beloved figures in the heavy metal community.
