The Showdown have been described by Metal Hammer Germany as having, "the potential to play in the premier league very soon" and metal fans in the UK will soon be able to test this theory as the band arrive on our shores to promote new album, 'Temptation Come My Way', which will be released in Spring 2007.
Century Records re-issued the band's 2004 debut, 'A Chorus of Obliteration' last month and you can listen to two new songs from the forthcoming album on the band's MySpace here.
