In other news, Continuum Books has set an April 15, 2008 release date for Slayer's "Reign in Blood (33 1/3)", a book about the classic 1986 album.

To pre-order the book, visit Amazon.com.

The 33 1/3 series are low-priced, pocket-sized books. Each is about or inspired by a classic album. They range from rock and roll's foundations to modern classics. Previous books have explored records by Pink Floyd, Radiohead, and many others.

"33 1/3: Reign in Blood" was written by D.X. Ferris, a regular contributor to Cleveland Scene, Alternative Press, and the Village Voice Media chain of alternative newsweeklies.

"For my money, 'Reign in Blood' is the best metal album, by the best metal band," says Ferris. "But I'm a thrash guy, so take that for what it's worth. Maiden rules, too."
