Metal Blade Records is very proud to welcome the Woodstock, NY based band 3 to the MB family!
3 is a band apart: Dark yet uplifting, spiritual without any connection to religion - theirs is a sound that transcends the genre conformity of modern pop culture. Rapid-fire acoustic guitar infused with dynamic percussion, animated drumming and thunderous bass culminate in a listening experience that is at once accessible and unique. Poly-rhythms pulse within a symphony of driving metal guitars and melodic vocal acrobatics. 3 offers musicality without pretension. We double dare any music writer to describe the sound.
3 came together in the mid -1990's and very quickly developed a strong local following. In the year 2000, 3 landed a recording contract with Planet Noise Records, and released their debut CD, Paint By Number, an exquisite collection of 14 tracks.
In 2003, 3 released their follow up CD, Summer Camp Nightmare, an album that marked an evolutionary leap in the bands already highly developed sound. When fellow NY-based rockers Coheed and Cambria got their hands on this record they insisted that 3 hit the road with them, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Enter 2005, the band singed to Metal Blade Records and prepared the re-release of Wake Pig, which was previously released by Planet Noise Records in 2004, with new art and lyrics which were not in the earlier version, two new songs, a couple of remixes, and Maxs vocals added to the song Wheres Max.
Wake Pig will be released in Europe through Metal Blade Records in January of 2006!

"One of the few modern bands I truly consider to be great, an inspiration to me and all the members of Co&Ca. This is important."
