Well, this kicks ass. My ass was certainly not prepared for such a kicking. Remember Judas Fucking Priest? Remember Iron Fucking Maiden? Me neither, but 3 Inches of Blood sure does.. Not just remembering, but channeling them in a barrage of mmmmmetal!
Okay, they’re not as talented as Maiden (guitars and drums are pretty flat), but the falsetto singing, Manowar-like epic songs about killing orcs… they are harkening back to an age where metal meant something, and its meaning was synonymous with Dragonlance books. If we were Kerrang (and damnit, why aren’t we??), I’d give these guys fifteen K’s.
Bottom Line: Putting the Conan back into the ROCK!
