 Back Breaker? How about skull crusher. August 22, 2008
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
One reviewer said they sounded like Disturbed and Slipknot but I also hear a lot of Corrosion of Conformity mixed with latter era Testament. Maybe a more modern edge but they took Breath of the Swamp from the last album and added an anvil to their sound. Even have some hints of deathy style vox at times but not overwhelmingly so. These guys are carrying the metal flag with pride and this shows they have real knack for writing a catchy song that can be fast yet still crush your cranium then slow it down to let their southern sludge sound shine through. Nice to see Solid State pick these guys up. Now, go smash something.

This is, without a doubt, rock solid. Not quite as heavy as A Chorus Of Obliteration and not as southern rock as Temptation Come My Way. You still hear a pull to both styles in each song. Clearly the best song on the album (in my humble opinion) is Achilles: The Backbreaker. A strong return to their heavier material while holding true to their southern roots. The songs are loosely based around Greek mythology while maintaining a Christian heart. I highly recommend this album for any metal fan.

This is an awesome cd from The Showdown. It is a cross between their first and second cd. Really hard and very cool. You should go get it.
Stay Metal!
Face-Melting Heavy Metal August 20, 2008

If you like face melting, heart pounding, high voltage heavy metal, this is your new drug. Once again the southern boys bring us talent-filled heavy metal that will make you want to mosh right in your own living room. Buy this CD and stand back you will want to kick someone in the face. \m/
A Temptation Back Breaker Of Obliteration August 27, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
The Showdowns third album is not disappointing at all, being not as hardcore as the 1st album and not as southern as their 2nd. Back Breaker combines both albums elements adding in Norse mythology titles that head over christian spiritual warfare lyrics that fit perfectly into the titles definitions. I myself was disappointed along with other friends of mine over Temptations rather drastic change, although not a bad change, it seemed a little to early to change the elements of their music, because IMO Obliteration was one of the best albums ever made. However the Showdown redeemed themselves with this album, combining the CD's to satisfy both audiences with heavy lyrics, growls, riffs and strums that want to make you head bang the night away.
