50 Most Underrated Albums of the '2000s: #46

46.3 Inches of Blood-Fire Up the Blades (2007)
Canadian defenders of traditional heavy metal, 3 Inches of Blood, go so far into their vintage-inspired sound that a lot of people don't take they're music seriously. The cheesy lyrics and unrivaled enthusiasm for all things metal may be ridiculous, but that doesn't mean that their music isn't absolutely killer. Their 2007 record, Fire Up the Blades,saw 3 Inches of Blood incorporating more thrash elements into their music- which gave their sound more of an edge- and lead to some of the best riffs of their career on tracks like "Forest King", "The Goatrider's Horde", "Trial of Champions" and "God of the Cold White Silence". 3 Inches of Blood is a fun band with a ton of memorable riffs so naturally their most fun and riff-based record is also their best.
