Here’s all you should really need to convince you that 3 Inches of Blood’s new album Long Live Heavy Metal is worthy of your oh-so-precious time:

Exhibit A: It’s a new 3 Inches of Blood album.

Exhibit B: It’s called Long Live Heavy Metal.

Exhibit C: Album opener “Dark Messenger,” streaming below exclusively on MetalSucks.

One listen is all it’ll take to prove that these high-flyin’, high-powered, high-fallutin’ British Columbian heavy metal warriors haven’t lost a step. And we assure you, Long Live Heavy Metal is action-packed with fist-pumping anthems just as catchy, fun and embodying of heavy metal as this one. Stream another new track called “Leather Lords” right here — that name alone should be enough to make you click!
