Album Review
On the third full-length by the Showdown, 2008's Back Breaker, the fun-lovin' lads from Tennessee add some mythology to their metal, as each of the album's 11 tracks goes by two titles — one that is straight out of Greek mythology, and another that is much more of the metal variety. Musically, the band still touches upon all the prerequisites of most up-and-coming metal bands roaming the earth circa the early 21st century — Iron Maiden-like guitar bits, Metallica's chug-chug riffery, Pantera-esque shouted vocals, etc. Back Breaker is one fierce beast from start to finish, especially on such brutal selections as "[Hephaestus] The Hammer of the Gods," "[Achilles] The Backbreaker," and "[Aries] I Am Vengeance." There may not be a lot to musically differentiate this quartet from the rest of the metal pack, but Back Breaker does certainly succeed in capturing the roaring power of the Showdown.
Customer Reviews
Brutal Metal
If you want some serious double pedal guitar screaming metal, get this.
It's viscious
Git Snake Bit
Thrash 24/7
Truly a masterpiece on its own. One of a kind. The Showdown keeps getting better and better & it's nice to see the band finally going back to what made several of us get hooked on A Chorus of Obliteration. David's screaming voice is back, Josh continues to shred some of the best guitar riffs in the vein of Dimebag Darrell. Sorry for comparing Josh to a legend, but he is freaking awesome on Back Breaker. Get snake bit & buy this album!
Metals Iron Men
I hadn't heard of these guys until a couple months ago, but I don't think I have ever heard a band that has ever had a more no bs, in your face name quite like these guys. The Showdown will never be broken.
