"Destroy the Orcs" is the second single by Canadian power metal band 3 Inches of Blood. It was inspired by the work of J. R. R. Tolkien, and is also about revenge. The single was released on October 27, 2003 by Megarock Records. "The Sun Rises Over the Fjords" and "Conquerors of the Northern Sphere" are re-recordings of songs from the band's debut EP, Sect of the White Worm. The cover art was illustrated by Iain McCaig and derives from a gamebook entitled Deathtrap Dungeon, by Ian Livingstone.
