3 Inches of Blood’s Fire Up the Blades to Get First-Ever Vinyl Release

Seventeen years after its initial release, Canadian metal act 3 Inches of Blood will finally give Fire Up The Blades the vinyl release it deserves. Set to release this August 9, the pressing will drop around the same time that a vinyl re-release of Advance And Vanquish will be available.

Over on their official Instagram page, the band gushed about the fact that the album was getting a vinyl release, detailing that the double LP set was a limited run.

“Very excited to share some news. @realgonemusic is releasing Fire Up The Blades on vinyl for the first time and as a 2LP set limited to 1250 copies. Also a new pressing of Advance and Vanquish is coming, this time on Orange and Black vinyl. You can pre-order them now for release on August 9, 2024. Go to our linktree in bio.”
