Battlecry Under a Winter Sun

Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Debut album from Canadian former hardcore kids who decided that irony-free sword and sorcery metal with titles like 'Destroy The Orcs' was a lot more fun. Combining the pomp and grandiosity of old-school metal with the aggression and cheap production values of punk, this has drawn favourable comparisons in the rock press with early Iron Maiden.

    5 out of 5 stars On the footsteps of Manowar.......2004-03-20

    This is the way Manowar should have gone after "Kings Of Metal"...Great gothic black classic heavy metal...A must buy for all who have anything to do with METAL !!!

    5 out of 5 stars 3 Inches of Blood: "Awesomeness" defined!!.......2004-03-06

    If you are reading this, you must buy Battlecry Under a Winter Sun. I discovered 3IOB at a show in Anniston, Alabama. They are extremely great live, but this cd is right next to it. I've had it since December of '03 and have listened to all the songs and more of theirs almost every day. If you liked 80's metal or if you are into screamo, you should like it. Purchase and enjoy!!

    5 out of 5 stars much respect.......2004-01-13

    These guys definitly are amazing. They play heavy metal in the purest form, and it's so refreshing. You can tell they are influenced by Maiden but still have a completely new and fresh style that I'm sure will be embraced by a much larger metal community in the near future.
    Track list is:
    1. Ride Darkhorse, Ride
    2. Destroy the Orcs
    3. Headwaters of the River of Blood
    4. Heir to the Chaos Throne
    5. Skeletal Onslaught
    6. Journey to the Promised Land
    7. Lady Deathwish
    8. Curse of the Lighthouse Keeper
    9. Blazing Fires of Evermore
    10. Hall of Heros
    11. Balls of Ice

    Highlights include the insane opening track, Destroy the Orcs, Curse of the Lighthouse Keeper, Hall of Heros with it's brilliant guitar work, and one of metal's best songs in a while... Balls of Ice. When I hear that opening little riff for that song I lose control. I go more nuts for that song in concert than any song I have ever seen played live.
    Three Inches live is a must, and so is this album. Packed with metal to spare, it will scratch that itch that you old schoolers have had since the late 80's, as well as give new metalheads something that won't leave the cd player for quite some time.

    5 out of 5 stars New Metal At Its Best!.......2003-12-09

    3 Inches of Blood is an amazing band. They are keeping metal alive!!! I would suggest the album for anyone who loves Iron Maiden.

    5 out of 5 stars The Return of Classic Metal.......2003-10-25

    I saw these guys open for The Darkness in Newcastle, England and they were incredible! 3 Inches of Blood rock the house in the best tradition of Judas Priest, Slayer and Accept. If you like classic metal, you will love this band.
