Long Live Heavy Metal is the fifth studio album from the Canadian heavy metal band 3 Inches of Blood. It is the second 3 Inches of Blood album to be released through Century Media and not feature Jamie Hooper on screaming vocals, and is their only release to feature the same line-up as the previous one. This would also be the band's final studio album before disbanding in 2015 and reuniting in 2023.
Although Byron Stroud appears on the credits as the bassist member of the band, all bass on the album was performed by Justin Hagberg & Shane Clark. Both were credited using a ficticional character, 'Shustin Hagblark', a mix of both names.
