[UPDATE: The Gates of Slumber have canceled this appearance due to family illness.]

Vocalist CT from Arkansas post-sludge outfit Rwake‘s chronicling of the Southern US heavy underground, Slow Southern Steel, will be making its yankee premiere in Brooklyn next weekend at the Knitting Factory on Aug. 13. This, I admit, is old news, so consider this post a reminder or just a note for anyone who might not have seen it the first time. The vigilant souls over at BrooklynVegan are hosting the event, and will be responsible for the carnage that ensues once the free Jager is gone and the kickass doom begins.

Here’s some info copped from the aforementioned:

BrooklynVegan is proud to announce that we will host the exclusive Northeastern screening of Slow Southern Steel at Knitting Factory on Aug. 13! The screening, which will take place at 10PM, will feature FREE Jagermeister (for a limited time) as well as an appearance from the director CT. Then following the film, Knitting Factory will host performances from some of our favorite doom-y bands The Gates of Slumber, Cough, and Earthling. Tickets are on sale (admission includes the movie and the show).

More details here, and here’s a trailer for the film in case you’re not stoked enough for it:
