CANNAE
GOLD BECOMES SACRIFICE

From the early days of Sam Black Church, Gang Green and Slapshot to contemporary scenesters like Killswitch Engage, Shadows Fall and Converge, the Boston area has produced some of the finest, fastest and heaviest acts around. CANNAE burst onto the scene in 2000 with a snarling debut album, "Troubleshooting Death" (originally released on Eastcoast Empire, later re-released on Brutal Records), ripping through blistering speed and thunderous breakdowns amidst a wall of controlled chaos and overwhelming screams. CMJ praises the album: "making the likes of COALESCE and CONVERGE seem laid back by comparison, CANNAE dishes out unbridled, two-guitar chaos-core." "Troubleshooting Death" established the band as a fierce act and landed them on the best heavy music shows in New England. Establishing their live reputation through countless gigs and commanding main stage performances at the world famous New England Metal & Hardcore Festival, CANNAE soon found themselves heading out on tours with current high-profile Metal bands all across the country. "Horror" was the second installment of aural obliteration from the CANNAE camp (and their PROSTHETIC debut). Bursting with double-bass, sinister guitar pyrotechnics and plenty of screaming bloody murder, "Horror" fulfilled the promise of the band's debut and devastating live performances. Now the band return with their highly anticipated third album "GOLD BECOMES SACRIFICE" further cementing the band's reputaion for speed, technicality, relentless ferocity, kinetic riffage and all out brutality!! Recorded at Audiohammer studios in Florida with Jason Suecof (TRIVIUM, GOD FORBID, ROADRUNNER ALL STARS, CAPHARNAUM) and features a special guest appearance from James Murphy (DEATH, OBITUARY, TESTAMENT)
