5.0 out of 5 stars
Missing vertabre,
By "Beardsly" (Morris, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Back Breaker (Audio CD)
This is, without a doubt, rock solid. Not quite as heavy as A Chorus Of Obliteration and not as southern rock as Temptation Come My Way. You still hear a pull to both styles in each song. Clearly the best song on the album (in my humble opinion) is Achilles: The Backbreaker. A strong return to their heavier material while holding true to their southern roots. The songs are loosely based around Greek mythology while maintaining a Christian heart. I highly recommend this album for any metal fan.

Back Breaker? How about skull crusher.,

This review is from: Back Breaker (Audio CD)
One reviewer said they sounded like Disturbed and Slipknot but I also hear a lot of Corrosion of Conformity mixed with latter era Testament. Maybe a more modern edge but they took Breath of the Swamp from the last album and added an anvil to their sound. Even have some hints of deathy style vox at times but not overwhelmingly so. These guys are carrying the metal flag with pride and this shows they have real knack for writing a catchy song that can be fast yet still crush your cranium then slow it down to let their southern sludge sound shine through. Nice to see Solid State pick these guys up. Now, go smash something.

This review is from: Back Breaker (Audio CD)
This is one of the best metal albums I have heard all year. The band melds the right mix of growling metal sing, to piercing metal screams to create an incredible experience for the entire album. The Showdown is known for its techical prowess and this album certainly does not let anyone down who is looking for incredibly tight musicians laying down heavy metal. The concept of the greek gods incorporated into the song titles and lyrics were an added bonus, and to be honest shows me a little biased because of my interest in the material. Well wortth the money I have loaned it out 2x and both have purchased copies for themselves, its just that good!
