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.

CANNIBAL CORPSE Are Ready To Slaughter Ear Drums; The 2012 Summer Slaughter Tour Is Finally Here!

Tomorrow night, American Death Metal legends CANNIBAL CORPSE will kick off their headlining spot on this year's Summer Slaughter tour at the House Of Blues in Los Angeles (now SOLD OUT)! The band will be joined by label mates Between The Buried and Me, Job For A Cowboy and Goatwhore as well as The Faceless, Periphery, Veil of Maya, and Cerebral Bore. In honor of the tour kick off, Metal Injection will be hosting a pre-game Summer Slaughter podcast which will allow fans to chat LIVE with the bands. The one-hour pre-game show begins at 3:00pm EST/12:00pm PST at THIS LOCATION. Don't miss it.

Additionally, CANNIBAL CORPSE will appear on day two (August 18, 2012) of this year's inaugural Knot Fest alongside fest headlining hosts Slipknot, Deftones, Lamb Of God, Deathklok and more! For more info head over to the official website HERE.

CANNIBAL CORPSE are touring in support of their critically lauded, impossibly brutal full-length, 'Torture', released through Metal Blade Records earlier this Spring. On the twelfth studio offering of their inspiring twenty-four year career, the Floridian quintet have never sounded so vital, the album building upon the wealth of powerful, dark, and memorable songs comprising 2006's 'Kill' and 2009's 'Evisceration Plague' and pointedly upping the ante at every turn. The record landed the band at #38 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart upon its first week of release, making it the highest debut in CANNIBAL CORPSE history! Torture landed at #7 on the Billboard Top Independent Album Chart, #4 on the Billboard Top Hard Music Albums chart and #32 Billboard Top Current Albums Chart. Produced by Hate Eternal's Erik Rutan, Torture continues to reap critical accolades from critics and fans around the globe and is yet another testament to CANNIBAL CORPSE's permanent allegiance to shrewdly arranged, pile-driving Death Metal madness.

LOCK UP Perform In New York City For The First Time Ever - Images Available!

Last Thursday, February 16, extreme Metallers Lock Up, the UK Death Metal group featuring genre veterans, Tomas Lindberg (At The Gates, Disfear), Nicolas Barker (ex-Cradle Of Filth, ex-Dimmu Borgir),Anton Reisenegger (Criminal, Pentagram) and Dan Lilker (who stepped in for Shane Embury), performed their first-ever New York City show. Joining Lock Up on the last show of the tour at Club Europa in Brooklyn, NY, were Goatwhore and Strong Intention!

On their first-ever North American tour Lock Up was touring in support of their third studio album, 'Necropolis Transparent', which hit stores in July on Nuclear Blast Records.

For the conclusion of Lock Up's first-ever U.S. tour, the crowd was warmed up by the mighty Goatwhore, who were celebrating the release of their brand NEW album entitled 'Blood For The Master'. The Blackened Death Metallers from NOLA, always arrive at a venue ready to open up a can of whoop ass and make sure that nobody stands still! The lucky fans who attended this show, got the pleasure of being one of the first crowds to listen to a number of brand NEW ass kicking Goatwhore songs from 'Blood For The Master'. One of the best things about Goatwhore will always be their ability to get any crowd grooving out of control.

But hey, right before Goatwhore our ears were enthralled by the awesome music from Strong Intention. Their musical power was evident to all of the crowd from the moment they stepped on stage, who couldn't take their eyes and ears away from this Death Metal band with a flavor of Punk Rock! Check them out!

Right before Lock Up went on stage, we were backstage and saw Lock Up's frontman Tomas Lindberg doing everything possible to step on stage and deliver the crowd that they paid money to see: a furious musical display of in your face Lock Up music. He was gargling salt water, swallowing cough drops, and spraying his throat with no remorse. It turns out that Lindberg, who is known for his insane vocal power, was suffering of laryngitis!

Once on stage with Lock Up he made it clear that he wasn't at 100%, but he still managed to perform the bands entire set by abusing his throat and not missing a beat! The band took the crowd into a trip of their entire music catalog and delivered a vulgar display of extreme music. While vocally speaking the band didn't sound as powerful, drummer Nicolas Barker kept the fans entertained thanks to his phenomenal drumming skills! And while it was a pity that Lock Up's founder and guitarist Shane Embury (Napalm Death & Brujeria) wasn't part of the bands tour, Dan Lilker was a lot of fun to watch on stage crushing ear drums!

All in all, this was yet another great Heavy Metal show in 2012 and we really hope Lock Up is back soon at a bigger/better venue!
