YOU HAD ME AT “RWAKE”

 Tuesday, September 8th, 2009 at 1:30pm by

Rwake is a band we don’t write about as much as we should because, honestly, they don’t generate as much news as we’d like. They only tour occasionally and haven’t released an album since 2007′s nut-bustingly awesome Voices of Omens. I’m hoping they’ll get a new album out in 2010, but haven’t really heard anything. The band announced that they were “writing some more tunes” on their MySpace page, but that was back in March already.

At least we know that vocalist CT has been keeping busy: according to Invisible Oranges, he’s co-directing the documentary Slow Southern Steel, about, uh, well, it should seem obvious. The film is apparently still a work-in-progress, but since that never stops Hollywood from releasing a trailer, why should it stop CT and co-director David Lipke?

You can get more info on Slow Southern Steel here. It seems to have a tentative release date of May 2010.

    Sounds good, I like me some southern metal from time to time. BTW, really off topic here, the guy @ 2:44 has one really deep voice.

    Rwake rules and CT rules and this movie will also probably, y’know, rule.

    I love me some Rwake man. A buddy of mine used to play in a band called hellenkeller with CT. CT is probably one of the nicest dudes ive met from a band i liked. Cant wait for this flick, gonna be the shit.

    Since when is “Southern metal” a genre? Me, I’m a big fan of Central New Jersey metal, and love me some Alaskan metal, too.

    All dickheadedness aside though, Rwake are a fucking credit to there genre (that would be sludge) and I can’t wait to see what CT and Karim have cooked up. Anything involving EHG and moonshine is a sure winner as far as I’m concerned.

    Rwake is fucking awesome.

    …and if you haven’t heard of Deadbird, its an awesome band with a former member of Rwake and they sound similar. Good shit, check it out.
