Rockin' Roadrunner Records – a rather suitable title for the latest, and greatest,
Dream Theater drummer
It sounds too good to be true – but it ain't!
Whilst over here on their fantastic tour, 3 Inches Of Blood were cornered by our friends over at Blistering and given the once over – and now the transcription from said interrogation has been posted online.
Blistering: Despite not having released anything in a while you guys have been constantly touring. Do you plan on doing the same this time?
Pipes: “We’ll be touring lots and hopefully we’ll be coming back this way (Ireland and England) around the summer. Hopefully we’ll do some of the European festivals in the summertime. I’d rather be touring over here than in the States right now because we’ve toured the US so much and haven’t covered enough ground elsewhere, so I want to be seeing new places. We try to come at least once a year, hopefully we’ll be able to do that more often now and with this new record coming out it’ll give us more reason to travel.”

Take5online.com recently interviewed Jared MacEachern, Sanctity rhythm guitarist/vocalist. You can see some of their chat below:
Take5online.com: How has MEGADETH's Dave Mustaine influenced the band?
Jared: His songwriting and music has always been a huge influence on all of us and just as performers, as well. Dave is so metal he doesn't even have to headbang. It was great to tour with them, and I'm not complaining about getting to watch him perform every night.
Take5online.com: What do you think it means do be a metal band today?
Jared: There's definitely a certain small attitude of doing your own thing and not caring about what other people say. You have to have that attitude to some degree. Usually it means that you like it loud, hard and heavy and go nuts every now and then. The flip side of that is there are also metal bands that have a message. I think metal does well when there is a lot of dissension in the world.
Take5online.com: Does SANCTITY have a message?
Jared: Not just yet. We're not trying to preach to anybody or tell them how to live. We've been in it locally for a while, and it was just fun, but now we are out in the big world and learning. Right now we are just about getting out there and going hard and heavy and having fun. It'll be interesting to see what kind of message we develop in the future.
Take5online.com: What mood do you want to convey in your music?
Jared: I like to get people up and moving, and I like to convey some energy in our music. Maybe, sometimes you need to release a little aggression because of stuff that might be bringing you down. Our music is our outlet for that, and maybe our music can be used in a positive way by others. We like to convey a little bit of crazy fun.
Take5online.com: How did you get set up with Roadrunner Records?
Jared: We played a show in 2005 on the same bill as TRIVIUM in Spartanburg, and we asked the guys to come down and give us a critique, and he loved it. He gave our CD to the guys at Roadrunner, and we never thought anything would happen because they are a great label. After a year, in January of 2006 we kind of sealed the deal. It was pretty sweet and we couldn't believe it, and then we started doing all the recording and getting everything together.
