Boston-based thrashers CANNAE has announced a string of tour dates through Canada in March. The band is continuing to support its 2005 Prosthetic Records release GOLD BECOMES SACRIFICE, the new album featuring guest solos by guitar legend James Murphy and GOLD BECOMES SACRIFICE producer Jason Suecof.
Slayer's 1986 thrash metal classic, Reign in Blood, was originally to be distributed by CBS. When the label refused to do so (citing the graphic nature of the material), Rick Rubin and his label, Def American, stepped in.
