3 inches of blood

In 2009, the heavy metal community suffered a number of devastating losses. Current and former members of Evile, Sweet Cobra, 3 Inches of Blood, Cobra Clutch, Faith or Fear, StrydegoR, Space Eater, Maserati and Candiria were all taken from us too early in 2009...

Dec. 11 is a Friday night, and Los Angeles' Holy Grail just returned from a successful North American tour. What else is there to do but play a welcome home show at the famous Whisky a Go Go (the venue that helped launch the careers of the Doors, Alice Cooper and Guns N' Roses to name but a few) on the band's home turf, right...
