June 3, 2010, 14 years ago
Tennessee’s riff-tastic southern metal outfit, THE SHOWDOWN, has announced an August 24th street date for their Solid State Records sophomore release, Blood In The Gears.
The forthcoming full-length was recorded at Anthem Productions in Nashville, and produced by The Showdown’s own Jeremiah Scott. The album’s title track, and first single off the record, is available for streaming on the band’s official MySpace page. Blood In The Gears is The Showdown’s fourth studio album, and the follow up to 2008’s Back Breaker.
“Blood In The Gears is true to what The Showdown has always been about in the past,” explains vocalist David Bunton, “…heavy, thrashy, southern, groovy. Jeremiah Scott (bass) recorded and produced the record, all in house and on our own terms. We are sounding like we want to and saying exactly what we want to. That’s what heavy metal is all about.”The tracklisting for Blood In The Gears is as follows:
'Man Named Hell'
'Heavy Lies The Crown'
'Bring It Down'
'Take Me Home'
'Blood In The Gears'
'Dogma Enthroned'
'No Escape'
'The Crooked Path'
'Graveyard Of Empires'
'Diggin’ My Own Grave'
Founded in 2003 by current members, David Bunton and Josh Childers, The Showdown literally came roaring out of the gate with the monstrous, yet spiritually gripping debut, A Chorus Of Obliteration, in 2004. Despite numerous lineup changes, The Showdown has prevailed as one of Christian metal’s longstanding veteran acts. With several high profile tours under their belt, including a run on Ozzfest in 2007, and treks with LAMB OF GOD, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, NORMA JEAN, AS I LAY DYING, and more, The Showdown is set to once again crack up the throttle on Blood In The Gears.
