Cam Pipes from 3 INCHES OF BLOOD has great advice for Upcoming Artists!

Cam Pipes from 3 INCHES OF BLOOD recently shared his top 5 tips for being on the road with Digitaltourbus.com. Here a few of those very useful tips:


- The most important thing for touring is being in a band with people you can tolerate to be around. You might have the most amazing musician on a given instrument, but if they are an asshole then your touring life is going to be hell. 99% of touring happens off stage so you need to be able to hang out with like-minded people. If you’ve never toured before, try doing something small like a week or two. You may have done tons of shows in your hometown but nothing will test your band’s limits like the dynamics of touring.

- Know your place and be respectful. On tour there is a pecking order. Obey the headliner’s techs and stage manager. Do not eat any catering until you get the ok from the headliner’s tour manager. Do not go into the other bands dressing rooms without permission and under no circumstances do you take ANYTHING on their rider without prior consent. Bands above you got there for a reason, either because they caught a break and got some fast tracked success or they did it the old fashioned way and slugged it out building their fan base over time. Either way, they draw more people than you and you need to recognize that. The less greenhorn tendencies you show the better impressions you will leave on other bands and their crew and that will result in getting other tour opportunities in the future.

3 INCHES OF BLOOD Reveal Details For 'Long Live Heavy Metal'!

Canadian Metallers 3 INCHES OF BLOOD will be releasing their fifth studio album, 'Long Live Heavy Metal', on March 27th via Century Media Records. What can fans expect? "Fans can expect a blast of pure Metal assured to leave no face unmelted!"

'Long Live Heavy Metal' will be the fifth musical chapter from a band that is considered one of the best Canadian Metal exports when it comes to Heavy Music. Here is what guitarist Justin Hagberg had to say about 'Long Live Metal':

"'Long Live Heavy Metal' is the fifth chapter in the book of 3 INCHES OF BLOOD, and we couldn't be more pleased and proud of our new onslaught of honest Heavy Metal."

This time around, the band recruited producer and engineer Terry "Sho" Murray (CITY OF FIRE, EXHIBITIONISTS), who worked with the band on their seven-inch single, 'Anthems For The Victorious'. This is what vocalist Cam Pipes had to say about the bands next musical mission:

"When a band is releasing a new record, they often speak about it being their most important work or best album to date. Regardless of how clichéd either statement may sound, I think we would say both apply to this album. All of us have a special feeling about this one. We're more committed than ever to the cause of real, honest, no-bullshit Heavy Metal. No trends, no fucking around!"

'Long Live Heavy Metal' tracklisting:

01. Metal Woman
02. My Sword Will Not Sleep
03. Leather Lord
04. Chief And The Blade
05. Dark Messenger
06. Look Out
07. 4000 Torches
08. Leave It On The Ice
09. Die For Gold (Upon The Boiling Sea IV)
10. Storming Juno
11. Men Of Fortune
12. One For The Ditch
