Abyss Records is slated to re-issue the out-of-print THE GATES OF SLUMBER debut full-length 'The Awakening' CD this fall.

Originally released in 2004, the Abyss Records re-issue will feature cover art (from the limited-edition double vinyl edition) painted by Ken Kelly (Manowar, KISS, Conan) along with an exclusive bonus track.

The album, along with other THE GATES OF SLUMBER merchandise including the "Coven Of Cain" and "To The Rack With Them" t-shirt designs (both in-stock now), will be available at www.officialabyssrecords
