Orc slaying legends, 3 Inches Of Blood are currently on tour with Himsa in the UK. We managed to catch up with the band to get a quick update on the tour so far. 08/12/05 Newport, UK í¢ä‰åäóì NLCA Alright…in a word…COLD! It’s warmer outside rather than in the venue. A band called “Anterior” opened the show and rocked everyone’s balls off! They were amazing, finally an opening band who’s Maiden influence is not demonstrated by butchering the Trooper, these kids could fucking play! I spent the other 2 bands drinking beers and trying to stay warm or at least drinking enough to where I didn’t care how cold it was. Many frozen moments later and countless Stella’s it is time…finally! The crowd was attentive, yet subdued in a way. They warmed up in time or maybe just thawed out, I think I have made enough of a mention as to how cold it was. To my surprise it turned into a heavy metal sweatbox in no time. The kids got into it and we had an awesome time. Highlight’s for sure were definitely Anterior, the killer crowd upfront, and Himsa slayed! Laters, BRIAN – 3IOB
