3 INCHES OF BLOOD Has A New Drummer

January 10, 2008

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada-based metallers 3 INCHES OF BLOOD have reportedly recruited drummer Ash Pearson (SOUND OF THE SWARM, JUST CAUSE) for their current tour with THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, HATE ETERNAL and DECREPIT BIRTH. Pearson joins the group as the replacement for Alexei Rodriguez, who was unceremoniously dismissed from the band after he landed in a physical confrontation with SAXON drummer Nigel Glockler at the Hard Rock Hell festival in England this past November.

3 INCHES OF BLOOD has been added to Metal Hammer's Defenders Of The Faith tour. Running from April 23 to April 26, the tour also features OPETH, ARCH ENEMY and DEVILDRIVER.

The dates are as follows:

April 23 - Birmingham, UK @ Academy
April 24 - Glasgow, UK @ Barrowlands,
April 25 - Manchester, UK @ Academy,
April 26 - London, UK @ Academy

As previously reported, 3 INCHES OF BLOOD has issued a casting call for extras in the Seattle/Tacoma, Washington area for an upcoming music video shoot.

Commented the band: "We need people to dress up as Roman Empire villagers to be spectators in a battle royale of gladiators. Please come dressed in tunics, togas, etc. Costumes can be dirty or clean, any color will do. Think of the movies 'Gladiator' or 'Conan The Barbarian'.

"We will be shooting on Friday, January 11th during the daytime. If you are interested and available, please e-mail [email protected] and they will send you the details for the shoot."

On October 9, 2007, 3 INCHES OF BLOOD released an exclusive digital-only three-song EP, "Trial of Champions". The EP features the title track, B-side "Key to Oblivion" and "In the Time of Job When Mannon Was a Yippie", a unique interpretation of the song originally performed by LUCIFER'S FRIEND. "Key to Oblivion" is a B-side track from the recording sessions for their recent Roadrunner Records full-length release, "Fire Up the Blades", produced by Joey Jordison (SLIPKNOT). The digital-only EP can be found via iTunes and other online outlets.
