News from the frontline has finally reached us here, and 3 Inches Of Blood are preparing themselves for another bloody assault on our ears!

Before hiding themselves away in the bunker to plot, they take their broadswords and axes around the States headlining a mighty tour before allying themselves with the Sounds Of The Underground when that comes to invade Canada. Our spies have also learned of a possible transatlantic sortee… we will be the first to warn you of any impending invasion.
