小简介

这支来自温哥华的六人乐队不仅曲子写的符合True Metal的游戏规则, 而且风格上深受NWoBHM的影响, 几乎很少能听到时下Thrash/Power Metal乐队的压制性Riff, 虽然速度快了不少, 但薄薄的吉他音色带来得还是老牌Speed/Thrash乐队的轻灵之感。

而最引人注目的, 就数他们的两个主唱了, 这种配置在Brutal Death/Grind乐队中并不少现, 但对于True Metal乐队来说, 确实是凤毛麟角。Cam Pipes来自一支名副其实的死亡金属乐队, 他主管无调式尖吼; 另一位Jamie Hooper则又高又飘。那么大家可以想象一下, 如果Rob和Chuck同时演唱Painkiller, 效果将会是何等的恶毒!

整张专辑几乎是从Diamond Head, Motorhead到早期Slayer、Metallica的一次Old School巡礼, 充满了行进曲, 战斗曲式的快板作品, 让人血脉沸腾。常出现的Epic味Maiden式吉他(Wykydtron, Axes of Evil), 还有Steve Harris的招牌Bass(Swordmaster), Running Wild的海盗主题(Lord of the Storm (Upon the Boiling Sea II)), 都会时刻提醒人们, 不要忘记那个金戈铁马, 逐鹿中原的黄金时代。至于主打歌Deadly Sinners, 虽然Cam的声音有点接近时下流行的Hardcore嗓音, 但这次小小的越轨并不让人讨厌, 你应该做的就是, 把音箱调到最大, 一边甩头一边跟着他们高喊"Enemies of Metal, Your Death is Our Reward!"

这张专辑的亮点都在集中在了前半部分, 最后几首明显让人感觉后劲不足, 缺少一些兴奋点。另外也许是双主唱的原因, 有的时候听起来会让人感觉有些混乱, 看来乐队对于一些细节编曲部分还应该再推敲一下。

瑕不掩瑜, 这还是相当出色的一张True Metal专辑。如果你觉得今年的犹大新专辑有些英雄迟幕, 那么就来听听这张把, 甩断了脖子我可不管。

Canadian sextet Three Inches of Blood hails from Vancouver and features Cam Pipes (clean vocals), Jamie Hooper (shrieked vocals), Sunny Dhak (lead guitar), Bobby Froese (rhythm guitar), Rich Trawick (bass) and Geoff Trawick (drums). A throwback to heavy metal's youthful 1980s heyday, the band's music consists of Iron Maiden-like galloping riffs and solos speeded up to thrash metal tempos, topped with Dungeons & Dragons-styled lyrics and titles such as "Destroy the Orcs" and "Ride Darkhorse, Ride." Their debut five-song EP of 2000 quickly sold out in the band's stomping grounds, and led to the following year's full-length, Battlecry Under a Winter Sun, which was initially only given a very limited Canadian release. However, it soon wormed its way over the border and across the oceans thanks to positive word of mouth in the underground metal scene, as well as the band's constant touring. All this led to a new record contract with legendary metal label Roadrunner Records, and, after breaking in a new rhythm section consisting of bassist Brian Redman and drummer Matt Wood, Three Inches of Blood recorded 2004's sophomore album, Advance and Vanquish.
