“Man Named Hell”, the brand new video from Tennessee’s riff-tastic southern metal outfit THE SHOWDOWN, can be viewed below (courtesy of AOL‘s Noisecreep). The song comes off the band’s fourth album, “Blood in the Gears”, which was released 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.”

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
