Vancouver metal band 3 Inches Of Blood has officially signed a worldwide record deal with Century Media Records. Formed in 2000, the group has previously released material with Roadrunner Records and Megarock Records.

Cam Pipes (vocals) comments: "Ever since our departure from our previous label, Century Media has been in the forefront trying to get us to sign with them. No other label showed as much enthusiasm and belief in our band as they did. Right from the start we all got a great feeling from the whole Century Media team. We feel comfortable with the vision they have for us and are confident they have the necessary tools and motivation to help us in the ways our previous label didn't. We can’t wait to unleash this new material upon the masses."

3 Inches Of Blood entered Seattle's London Bridge Studios in mid-April with producer Jack Endino (High On Fire) to begin recording their Century Media debut. The effort is expected to hit stores this fall.
