Solid State Records have set an August 24th release date for The Showdown's sophomore release for the label, Blood in the Gears. The forthcoming full-length was recorded at Anthem Productions in Nashville, and produced by The Showdown's own, Jeremiah Scott.
"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."
