Another poor aspect of the band is songwriting. The band's songwriting needs a lot of work in the future, as many of the songs sound the same after awhile. Advance and Vanquish could have used a little more variety, maybe a ballad or at least a slower paced song. Advance and Vanquish like listening to the same song thirteen times. The band could easily have chopped 10 minutes off the album, and it would have made absolutely no difference. Some more time should be spent on the very important writing process.

Lyrically, the band opened the Book of Power Metal and transferred it word for word into their music. The lyrics on the album are the run of the mill fantasy styled lyrics found on any stereotypical power metal offering.

The songs that 3 Inches of Blood has written describe the tales of orcs, swords, pirates, and even robot warriors fighting in the future. Yeah, fairly cheesy stuff, but they shouldn't bother big power metal fans. However, unlike bands that employ similar lyrics such as Dragonforce and Rhapsody of Fire, the lyrics are much more difficult to make out, thanks to our two vocalists. The band is just having fun creating and playing music and their lyrics aren't meant to be taken seriously.

Overall, the sound that the band attempted to create on Advance and Vanquish is a fast, melodic sound. In that regard, they have succeeded, but they have also introduced a harsh, chaotic sound as well. The band has a lot of potential and I'm interested in seeing what they can do in the future. Hopefully they can work out the issues that plagued this release and for the love of God, just ditch the screaming.
