Major member of a band ║ │ │║ leaves. Band is forced to cope without him. ║ │ │║ Sometimes, they recruit someone else to feel the ║ │ │║ void, other times they just find it within ║ │ │║ themselves-that spark..release the next record ║ │ │║ and the rest, as they as, is fucking history. ║ │ │║ Here Waits Thy Doom (HWTD) is one of those ║ │ │║ records the only difference being; 3 Inches of ║ │ │║ Blood have been without Hooper for quite ║ │ │║ sometime now. Actually, dating back to the bands ║ │ │║ touring in order to support their previous ║ │ │║ record-Fire Up The Blades, Jamie Hooper was ║ │ │║ forced to sit out the whole tour cause of his ║ │ │║ voice. He is no longer with the band but 3 ║ │ │║ Inches of Blood have had ample time to reflect ║ │ │║ on their next course of action prior to and also ║ │ │║ during the recording of HWTD as whether to ║ │ │║ continue with the harsh vocals or scrap them ║ │ │║ entirely from their music. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Unlike most band who have or would have gone out ║ │ │║ in search for a replacement vocalist, this band ║ │ │║ did not. They assigned the part of Jamie to ║ │ │║ Justin-the band's guitarist, tweaked their sound ║ │ │║ a bit and voila! Here Waits Thy Doom! ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ While previously one would be somewhat confused ║ │ │║ with the kind of metal-subgenre 3IoB play, on ║ │ │║ this one, it is pretty straight forward. ║ │ │║ Unabashedly power metal..the kind Manowar would ║ │ │║ be proud of. Why, even some of the themes are so ║ │ │║ Manowar-ish. Kill for Metal, Die for Metal, ║ │ │║ Metal, Metal..METAL!! Given the circumstances, ║ │ │║ more room has obviously opened up in the vocal ║ │ │║ department for Cam Pipes to explore and boy, ║ │ │║ does he utilize this to the maximum. Of course ║ │ │║ it also helps having magnificently written riffs ║ │ │║ and solos to sing too. The first 3 songs on this ║ │ │║ are simply classics. Shane and Justin ║ │ │║ relentlessly churn out riff after riff and solo ║ │ │║ after solo. The riffs are raw, more melodic than ║ │ │║ their previous effort but also extremely ║ │ │║ enjoyable and catchy too. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ In Here Waits Thy Doom, there seems to be a ║ │ │║ special consideration given to riff ║ │ │║ construction. No repetitive riffs here which is ║ │ │║ saying a lot on an album that is saturated with ║ │ │║ them. Each song seems to have a distinct riff. A ║ │ │║ well crafted riff played to perfection. Even the ║ │ │║ solos, follow this kind of trend and I fear ║ │ │║ going into details might render this review way ║ │ │║ too long. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Justin is obviously no Jamie but that doesn't ║ │ │║ mean that this album lacks the aggression that ║ │ │║ the band have been known for..Call of the Hammer ║ │ │║ and At the Foot of the Great ║ │ │║ Glacier..anybody?!(with the later being one of ║ │ │║ my favorites off this album). Rather than the ║ │ │║ duels that we have been accustomed to having, on ║ │ │║ this one, Justin seems more of, if I may say, ║ │ │║ complimenting Pipes. Hes vocals are not as harsh ║ │ │║ as those of Jamie, actually, his vocals sound ║ │ │║ more like those of Miland Petrozza. He though ║ │ │║ does chip in with the harsh lines where you felt ║ │ │║ Pipes vocals where becoming a bit too ║ │ │║ monotonous. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ I bet, fans of 3IoB, when listening to this will ║ │ │║ always kinda anticipate Jamie's harsh vocals ║ │ │║ around the corner. Only that they don't surface ║ │ │║ (trust me, I waited). But thats just a small ║ │ │║ bummer cause these guys have outdone themselves, ║ │ │║ defied critics and made possibly the record of ║ │ │║ their lives and probably the power metal record ║ │ │║ of 2009 in Here Waits Thy Doom! ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Line-up: ║ │ │║ Cam Pipes - Vocals ║ │ │║ Justin Hagberg - Guitar, Harsh Vocals, Organ, ║ │ │║ Piano, Bass ║ │ │║ Shane Clark - Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Bass ║ │ │║ Ash Pearson - Drums ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Discography ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Sect of the White Worm EP, 2001 ║ │ │║ Battlecry Under a Wintersun Full-length, 2002 ║ │ │║ Destroy the Orcs Single, 2003 ║ │ │║ Ride Darkhorse Ride Single, 2003 ║ │ │║ Advance and Vanquish Full-length, 2004 ║ │ │║ Fire Up the Blades Full-length, 2007 ║ │ │║ Trial of Champions EP, 2007 ║ │ │║ Here Waits Thy Doom Full-length, 2009 ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - Battles And Brotherhood [04:47] │ │ 02 - Rock In Hell [04:56] │ │ 03 - Silent Killer [04:13] │ │ 04 - Fierce Defender [05:16] │ │ 05 - Preacher┤s Daughter [06:48] │ │ 06 - Call Of The Hammer [02:59] │ │ 07 - Snake Fighter [03:19] │ │ 08 - At The Foot Of The Great Glacier [03:17] │ │ 09 - All Of Them Witches [06:43] │ │ 10 - 12:34 [01:45] │ │ 11 - Execution Tank [07:33] │ │ 12 - Not Fragile (Bonus Track) [04:08] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [55:44 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
