“Even more so than most rock/pop countercultures, a lot of the truly radical-sounding metal is not aimed directly at the über-cultured connoisseur; it is a product and reflection of one's own identity and environment. Slow Southern Steel, directed by CT of celebrated sludge crew Rwake, sees this come alive vibrantly in the sub-Mason Dixon metal scene. The documentary showcases interviews and live footage from notables Eyehategod, Torche, Kylesa, Weedeater, Dark Castle, and Zoroaster, among others. These variously doomy, sludgy, and Southern-grooved bands ("Slayer dipped in syrup") eventually found acclaim beyond Dixie, but don't expect any fits of vapors: these are the kind of guys whose achievements tend to be commensurate with their lack of pretension.”
Stephen Gossett, Flavorpill
