Canadian metal band 3 Inches Of Blood made waves back in 2024 when they reunited after splitting up in 2015. Almost a decade had passed since they initially called it quits, but since then they’ve played a number of shows and revealed to the world that they’ve still got it. Now it’s looking like there’s a new era of 3IOB in our future, with vocalist Cam Pipes saying some new music is heading our way in a year’s time.
That bit of news came out during an interview with Loud & Clear‘s Belgian Jasper at this year’s Hell’s Heroes Festival in Houston, Texas.
“There is a plan to write some songs. We are working on new stuff. When it will actually be unleashed on people’s ears is another thing. But we’re not gonna rush it. But there’s lots of ideas in our camp with songwriting. So, the plan is spend most of this year kind of working those songs out and getting them good.
“‘Cause show-wise, we’re not gonna be super busy this year – Hell’s Heroes is one of our only shows we’re doing this year – 2027 we’re planning on being a lot busier. And then that’s when we’re gonna start trickling out some new music.”
Speaking of the band’s decision to reunite, Pipes said it was something they didn’t take lightly.
“I don’t think we’ve doubted the motivation that we had necessarily. But we just kind of took our time discussing it, making sure we all sort of were on the same page with how we wanted to do it.
“And I think enough time had gone by that eventually someone proposed the question, ‘Yeah, let’s get the band back together,’ that old cliché or whatever. But I think we were pretty confident that it would be well received.
“And we’ve been delighted by the response, even though… The reaction’s been even better than we could have anticipated, so, obviously, we’re elated about that. And we’re just having fun with it, keeping our shared sort of plan with how we wanted to keep the band going at this rate and do what we wanna do but also give the people what they want, I guess.”
