3 INCHES OF BLOOD recorded Fire Up the Blades at Vancouver’s legendary Armoury Studios (AC/DC, KISS) and Mushroom Studios (Queensrÿche) with producer Joey Jordison (Slipknot) and engineer Dan Turner. Darker, tighter and more dangerous than the band’s previous works, “Fire Up the Blades“ features songs such as “Night Marauders”, “The Goatrider’s Horde”, “Assassins of the Light” and “Black Spire” and is full of vivid imagery, masterful guitar acrobatics and the skyscraping vocals of Cam Pipes and Jamie Hooper that 3 INCHES OF BLOOD is known for.
