Next month, Vancouver's heavy metal veterans 3 Inches of Blood will head out on a headlining West Coast run. The two-week trek will feature special guest Huntress as main support, and Hookers as the tour opener. A list of confirmed dates can be seen below, with more to be announced shortly.

Vocalist Cam Pipe adds, "We're closing out the year strong with some US headlining shows of our own. The West Coast has long been a 3IOB stronghold, so naturally we're excited to be returning to play a full show to our loyal fans. Long Live West Coast Heavy Metal."

3 Inches of Blood has stayed on the road throughout 2012, continually supporting their most recent album, 'Long Live Heavy Metal.' Produced by Terry "Sho" Murray [City of Fire, DOA], the astounding twelve-track achievement offers an explosion of sound, setting new standards for the traditional metal genre. Described by MSN as "good, honest, melodic heavy metal," the music video for "Metal Woman" can be seen here: http://youtu.be/_Y8xwttdjCc
