THE SHOWDOWN: New Song Available For Streaming

July 15, 2010

"Heavy Lies The Crown", a brand new song from the Tennessee's riff-tastic southern metal outfit THE SHOWDOWN, can be streamed on the band's MySpace page. The track comes off the group's fourth album, "Blood in the Gears", which is scheduled for release on August 24 via Solid State Records. The follow-up to 2008's "Back Breaker" was recorded at Anthem Productions in Nashville, and produced by THE SHOWDOWN's bassist Jeremiah Scott.

"'Blood in the Gears' is true to what THE SHOWDOWN has always been about in the past: heavy, thrashy, southern, groovy," explains vocalist David Bunton. "Jeremiah Scott 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."

"Blood in the Gears" track listing:

01. Man Named Hell
02. Heavy Lies The Crown
03. Bring It Down
04. Take Me Home
05. Blood In The Gears
06. Dogma Enthroned
07. No Escape
08. The Crooked Path
09. Graveyard Of Empires
10. Diggin' My Own Grave

Founded in 2003 by David Bunton and Josh Childers, THE SHOWDOWN 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 its 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".

THE SHOWDOWN is:

David Bunton - Vocals
Josh Childers - Guitar
Patrick Judge - Guitar
Jeremiah Scott - Bass
