  • The Showdown (band)

    The Showdown is a Christian southern metal/metalcore band based in Elizabethton, Tennessee. While the members of the band are Christian and the band is signed to a Christian record label, the band does not consider itself a Christian act, according to guitarist Josh Childers. Lyrically, their writing tells of heroism, sojourns and battles of life, most of which is influenced by Biblical aspects. As of 2008, they are signed to Solid State Records. The band supposedly formed in 2004 as "The Showdown" but was originally called "2450" from 1999-2004.

    History

    A Chorus of Obliteration

    Prior to becoming The Showdown, the group was known as 2540, and played a punk rock brand of music. Over time, influences from metal fan Josh saw 2540 morph from punk to metal. This change in style prompted a change of the band's name to "The Showdown". In 2003, Daniel left the band to get married at which time Andrew Hall took the drumming position. With Andrew on board the fivesome headed to the studio and recorded their first full length album A Chorus of Obliteration. This album, produced by Bruce Fitzhugh, lead singer of Living Sacrifice, was mainly a mix of Hardcore and Metal.

    The Reaction

    by: Greeley Estates

    Feels good as it brings you down.
    That moment when nothing else matters to you in your
    life.
    I'm numb.
    I can feel it move through my veins.
    I can feel the reaction.
    My heart's beating faster.
    I've tried to find a way for me to fill this void
    inside.
    I never thought that I would sink this low.
    And now I think I've lost control.
    Drift off to that perfect place.
    That escape where you hide from the issues and fears
    that you face.
    I'm numb, I'm numb, I'm numb.
    I can feel it move through my veins.
    I can feel the reaction.
    My heart's beating faster.
    I can feel it crawling in my blood.
    I can feel the reaction.
    My heart's beating faster again.
    Believe the lie that these drugs will save your life.
    Believe the lie that these drugs will save your life.
    Believe the lie that these drugs will save your life.
    I believed the lie that these drugs would save my life.
    Help me, God.
    'Cause I've lost my way.
    I'm so caught up in myself these days.
    Can't see your face.
    So, help me, God.
    'Cause I've lost my way.
    I'm so caught up in myself these days.
    Can't see your face, your face.
    I can feel it move through my veins.
    I can feel the reaction.
    My heart's beating faster.
    I can feel it crawling in my blood.
    I can feel the reaction.
    My heart's beating faster again.
    I tried to find a way for me to fill this void inside.
    But what it was I didn't see, was your hand reached out
