We are shocked and saddened by the tragic loss of our friend and former band mate Brian Redman. Brian was a outgoing and charismatic person who was great friends with most people he met. We couldnt help but smile or laugh when he was around. He had such a likable personality but also had a knack for putting serious things into perspective.
While in the band Brian played a big part. He joined the band shortly after signing a big record deal, and endured the turmoil that followed after recording our Advance and Vanquish album. For a time the bands future was uncertain, but Brian was unwavering in his desire to play this music with us. He was loved by many and enjoyed life to the fullest. Goodbye Brian, our fallen brother. You will be greatly missed.
Weekly Volcano has posted the following article:
"We have lost a friend, family member, lover, musician and all around good person," posted Doyle's Public House co-owner Russ Heaton on his popular Tacoma bar's website.
It is with a sad heart that I report that Brian Redman died Saturday night in a motor vehicle accident in Tacoma. Redman recently returned to Tacoma after living in Southern California for a short stint. Before he left for California, he tended bar at Doyle's and fronted the rock band the Dirty Knockers. Redman also had a two-year run as bassist for metal band 3 Inches Of Blood. Doyle's Public House will be closed today (Sunday 09/27) as the owners and staff mourn the lost of their friend. On behalf of everyone at the Weekly Volcano, I extend our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Brian Redman."

Biografy
There's a reason fans have come to their shows wearing Viking helmets and brandishing both real and plastic swords. Born out of a love for pure metal, weaned on a diet of fantasy and mythology, 3 Inches of Blood have been slaying the infidel and defending the faith for nearly eight years.
In that time, they've released two albums and splattered the ground with crimson streaks while on tour with Satyricon, Black Dahlia Murder, Motorhead and Cradle of Filth. These are mighty accomplishments for dedicated warriors from Vancouver, British Columbia, a region that's not exactly the Camelot of heavy metal. And with their new album, Fire Up the Blades, 3 Inches of Blood have surpassed even their own manly exploits, crafting a baker's dozen of anthems and stormers that crash, rip and roar like a Medieval skirmish.
"With this album, the blacksmith is heating up the blades and we are preparing for battle," says vocalist Jamie Hooper. "We are forging the steel that we'll use to annihilate the heavy metal posers, and in every town we play, the streets will run red with their blood."
Throughout Fire Up the Blades, 3 Inches of Blood demonstrate that the best way to stay ahead of the heavy metal curve is to write music that comes from the heart and sounds nothing like the horde of bands tapping into the latest trends. To that end, they draw fuel from their favorite artists, including Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Mercyful Fate, Manowar and Enslaved and compile it all into their own lethal potion. Once more, 3 Inches of Blood demonstrate great skill for riding galloping steeds into fiery realms of crunching riffs and banging heads, but Fire Up the Blades is darker and more aggressive than 2004's critically acclaimed Advance and Vanquish. "Demon's Blade" starts with a crushing, technical thrash passage and peaks with twin guitar harmonies over throat-shredding vocals and "Infinite Legions" features hailstorm blast beats and orchestral swells between martial riffs.
"This album is heavily influenced by low quality beer, bong rips and listening to black metal in the dark," Hooper says. "It doesn't sound blatantly black metal, it still sounds like us. But it's a faster, more intense version of us."
Fire Up the Blades marks the recording debut of four out of six of the bandmembers. Hooper, who co-formed the group, and co-vocalist Cam Pipes are the only soldiers to return from the last battle, and they're joined by guitarists Shane Clark, Justin Hagberg, bassist Nick Cates and drummer Alexei Rodriguez. But even though the lineup is different, the aesthetic remains the same, and the skill level actually eclipses that of the last record.
"Sometimes when bands change members it seems like big step backwards, but this was a major step forwards for us," Hooper says. "Everyone new who came in was at their best, which forced everybody else to pick up their game a little bit and we came up with things we just couldn't have done before."
Also adding to the skull-splintering vibe was Slipknot drummer Joey Jordison, who produced the record. Jordison became a fan of 3 Inches of Blood in 2004 when he filled in for Satyricon on tour and 3 Inches of Blood opened. "When he found out we were doing another record, he offered his services, and we were like, Dude, of course!" Hooper says. "He added a fresh perspective to the songs and helped us work on some parts and arrangements. Also, he's a beer drinking encyclopedia of cult black metal, so we sat around drinking Pabst Blue Ribbons talking about necro black metal the whole time, which was awesome."
3 Inches of Blood started writing Fire Up the Blades in late 2006 and composed many of the songs in a house they rented in Tacoma, Washington early this year. They entered the studio with Jordison in October and recorded at three locations in Vancouver -- The Armory, Mushroom Studios and Hipposonic -- before finishing up at London Bridge Studios in Seattle.
