The band's over-the-top lyrical style and high-pitched (which were based on the vocals of the band The Winter Massacre), Rob Halford meets Udo Dirkschneider -esque vocals, combined with their appearance in official photos, which owes more to modern "scene" fashion and clothing labels such as Atticus, have lead some to dub them as a parody of the classic heavy metal acts they claim to seek to give tribute to. When questioned on this, vocalist Cam Pipes gave the following statement: "Just because we're a bunch of young guys singing about the greatness of heavy metal doesn't mean we're some joke band." .
Interestingly, when performing live, the band dresses far more in the manner you would expect a heavy metal band.
Wykydtron
3 Inches of Blood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
born of scientific design to serve all human kind
artificial intelligence bred for future war
when galaxies will crumble and fall to their knees
it breaks free from its hold taking military control
a fate seen all across the wordl
it takes hold of the earth, breeding legions to his control
soon to seize all power in the sky
programmed to destroy
its brainwaves only wired for death
its wired to kill
all on the earth
nuclear bound - you'll fear his name
hey its the wykydtron
its the wykydtron
hey its the wykydtron
whoa-oh!
an army's formed to crush the earth
our creation, the master of our demise
humanity is doomer
fifteen years since creations time, the war has turned to space
human kind has once chance left to turn the tides of fate
warheads are the only way to stop The Wykydtron
millions die, radiation blast from hell
flesh, it peels away as all the people die
this is the end of the human race
our creation becomes the master of our own demise
we are drones
we fooled ourselves
we finally sealed our fate
hey its the wykydtron
its the wykydtron
hey its the wykydtron
whoa-oh!

The song lyrics further talk about how the Wykydtron is programmed to crush and destroy everything in its path. It is wired for death and destined to kill every living being on the planet. The Wykydtron is so powerful that an army is formed to crush it, but it easily overpowers them. Ultimately, humanity's only option left is to use warheads, leading to the destruction of the planet and the end of the human race.
