| 2006-12-06 | The Showdown - European tour; preview for new album available! | US-based sonic border crossers The Showdown have been confirmed to tour Europe in early 2007 alongside Norma Jean and He Is Legend, so be prepared for a live delicacy guaranteeing fresh, extreme and intense sounds!
In November 2006, Century Media Records reissued THE SHOWDOWN’s 2004 debut album “A Chorus Of Obliteration”, licensed from the band’s US-label Mono Vs. Stereo, featuring an exclusive European bonus track as well as a video enhancement. The album has been well received by press and fans, and THE SHOWDOWN was attested by German Metal Hammer to show “the potential to play in the premier league very soon”.
Proof for that is already on the way, as Century Media Records will release the band’s new album “Temptation Come My Way” in February 2007, so stay tuned for that! The title track and “I Victim” can also be checked as appetizers at the band’s Myspace site: www.myspace.com/theshowdown
