Long Live Heavy Metal; out end March

Canadian battle/heavy metallers, 3 Inches of Blood, who were last in NZ, December 2010 at "No Sleep til" Auckland, have released the release date for their upcoming 5th studio album "Long Live Heavy Metal" on Century Media records.

I like how they've taken the time to specifically state New Zealand on the poster below; given the size of the large markets in the states & Europe, that our total population is equivalent to that of a normal sized city elsewhere, that we would even be listed is surely an honour..
