The Showdown - Achilles-The Backbreaker

[MrBlesstheFall97]

I remember when my mom came home with this album, I had no clue who they were... I now thank my mom.

[Baphomet600]

The music is very similar to Trivium. I like it.

[gamegeek1000]

@Baphomet600 Little less screaming, more just growling, but yeah, still nice similarity!

[Baphomet600]

@gamegeek1000

I said music.

[gamegeek1000]

@Baphomet600 Sorry, i'm a vocalist...when i hear the word music i think vocals...my bad

[Baphomet600]

@gamegeek1000

It's ok...

[HarvestYouth99]

Their first album has mostly lyrics taken straight from the Bible.

[Samtastrophi]

At least these guys admit that while they are signed to a christian record label, their music doesn't have anything to do with Christianity.

[B0ngT0ke420]

Leave it to religion to divide people once again. Who cares if this album isn't about god, Can people not enjoy good music without getting their tits twisted in a knot.

[MrBluedevil0913]

@ReVVVern dude its a christian band what would you expect dur

[ReVVVern]

shut the fuck up about religion and listen to the song and bang your head assholes. everybody believes different shit and your not gonna change what they believe in a fucking youtube comment

[VaSinger4life]

@mm2008nin you dumbass, have you heard some of Slayer's stuff, if it had no words or a better message i would listen to it. Slayer sings about death and hell. These guys are all Christians in this band, and like AHeartinAtrophy said, its a concept album, all of the song names are based off of a mythological character. Slayer sang stuff such as this, all the damn time.

[Xx308LongshotzxX]

damn that indian scares me!!!!!!!!!!1

[1134hell]

@Xx308LongshotzxX Strangest thing, I've always thought that he was Steven Seagal after using P90X.

[Xx308LongshotzxX]

@1134hell ikr hahaha

[mm2008nin]

"Give us thirst for vengeance.

And we will break their backs with the weight of our will."

False prophets; I'm sorry but this is not a Christian message. There is no difference between these guys and Slayer and Morbid Angel.

The messages of this songs are favoring the rule of worldly emotions and not the rule of faith and love of God.

Nothing to see, here, go listen to Pantera instead. Their music is similar,but better than this, and their message is the same as this band's.

[AHeartInAtrophy]

@mm2008nin They're a Christian band,but this album is a concept album,about Greek mythology,not Christianity. So these lyrics are based on literature and mythology,not scripture or personal feelings.

[PriceisRight21]

@2013bookhead @DarkCrusaderTL what is your beef with religion or christianity??

[2013bookhead]

@PriceisRight21 I have no beef at all, i was defending Christianity.

[DarkCrusaderTL]

@PriceisRight21 you should read before you come to a conclusion, until then your the ignorant one

[PriceisRight21]

@2013bookhead Your ignornace is what is sad. Sure you can say everything RELIGION stands for is false. And with the way false religions handles itself today that is a common opinion.

[2013bookhead]

@PriceisRight21 How am I ignorant of anything?

[DarkCrusaderTL]

@2013bookhead your not ignorant he/she is, he/she can't even read that i will stand up for any religion.

[PriceisRight21]

How can you look at everything around and not even think that maybe this took someone pretty smart to CREATE. Yes this world is messed up : war, death, disease, famine, disasters. But do you really blame that on God? or you just blame it on what? Satan is the true problem you idiot. If he wouldn;t have been so selfish and wanted what God had ( right to rule ) then he wouldn't persuaded Eve and screwed everything up for humans from then on. Luckily God gave us Jesus and a way to survive.

[S0TEAtilla]

@PriceisRight21 Hail Satan! \\m//

[roshak24]

@S0TEAtilla You realize this is a christian band right?

[S0TEAtilla]

@roshak24 You realize christianity is a sham, right?

[CrowMurderBand]

fuck yeah and a bag of chips!

[Hassenmusic]

i don't know what the hell is going on with this band... i want more and they are like... sleepin'

[crazydill34]

I also heard this song from legion. Unfortunately I am unable to find the second metal song that plays in the minivan scene. If any on could help it would be greatly appreciated!

[chikovi]

@crazydill34

IMDb says the other metal band is Dying Regret

[crazydill34]

@chikovi Thanks for your Help! But unfortunately it also doesn't show up?

[13riant54]

yea umm I would rather download from Rhapsody then buy a damn cd thats ancient no one does that any more dont u really pay attention damn

[Pickles426]

@13riant54 I'm sure he knows that people prefer to download it cheap. But really, in my opinion, it sort of lessens you as a fan... You know, if I really like a band, I'm not gonna buy a couple of songs on Rhapsody. I'm getting the freaking $13.00 CD.(Just an estimated cost) I wanna support my favorite bands. Heck, I try and support all bands, even if I don't really like them.

[dudester21397]

@13riant54 its in 2007 or something, what the hell you douchue.

[13riant54]

@dudester21397 what the hell u talkin about dont go into a conversation that ur not paying attention to and r not in

[TheBlade9851]

hey this song comes out on legion

[13riant54]

does any1 know where I can download music free I tried limewire but they got shut down over 9 years

[RIFLEMAN906]

@13riant54 Try mp3boo.com

[beefygreenapples]

@13riant54 show some respect to a great band and just buy the album

[krissic1]

genialllll!!!!!

[Dewx30]

does anybody know where can i download music of this gods?

[drummerdude2222]

@Dewx30 uhm itunes??

[undeceived4]

@DiscipleISAwesome be careful bro with solid state sometimes they sign non Christian bands to the label..... just look at the agony scene!

[beefygreenapples]

We are too old to cry, too young to die.

We're bound to the promise of better lives.

We're bought and sold, content to know, that we'll never have to fight if we do what we're told.

We are warrior sons but we run from a cause, that brings freedom and purpose and hope to us all.

We would rather be a product of the world and its whims, than have the world be a product of the force of our wills.

pure metal

[aquifer93]

such a catchy band, so underrated, southern metal just has more catchy stuff, if you like this check out other southern metal like Maylene and the Sons of Disaster too

[DiscipleISAwesome]

Anyone know of some other Christian "Southern" metal? Sounding like this?

[TheRoque752]

Legion brought me to this song. it's when the guys swarm the minivan. :P it's a sweet song.

[DiscipleISAwesome]

@TheRoque752 Haha I just watched that movie and I was like WHAT THE? THE SHOWDOWN!? SIIICK!!!

[turi73]

is this band christian??

[DiscipleISAwesome]

@turi73 Yeah man! Check out there records label! Solid State Records! All christian, all awesome...

[DarkCrusaderTL]

@turi73 yes

[RedCell24]

Dang!! Some serious Demon butt kicking here!!! Rock On !!

[Alexis6834]

this is such a good sonnggg, and such a good band. i saw them live^.^

[beefygreenapples]

[BackBurner144]

@beefygreenapples BEAST. im pretty sure this is what it is to be MAN not a boy

[ChristianMetalhead25]

I wonder when they will come out with a new album.

[StephenE777]

March 2010 is the new release date but I believe it is behind schedule

[jonnyshredfayce]

@ChristianMetalhead25 This summer :D \M/

[bloodicex]

If anyone is curious, this song is in the new movie "Legion" when the angels/possessed people exit the cars, specifically the punk rocker/metal people. I'm saying this because it took me quite a bit to find it after listening to it on the movie. I don't think it's on the soundtrack either. But yeah, really sick song.

[GamerJamer]

that film looks awesome.

[Temptation777]

@bloodicex yea, i heard it too, all like half a second of it lol, i wish they wouldve taken and did it with the whole scene, that wouldve been awesome

[turkeygrandpa69]

machine head???

[SirBladewind]

@turkeygrandpa69 Thats what I thought when I heard it too.

But they do sound a bit different.

[inlovewithmyguitar1]

ok..for whatever reason.. this song reminds me of some of P.O.D.'s songs.. idk... no offense to anyone..cus its a good song :)

[HeadbangForChrist777]

AWESOME!

[Moparandrsfreak01]

These guys deserve more attention. I believe they should be higher-up on the bill and with a better record label. However having said that, they have come along way already.

[codaygman]

yeah man that voice those awesome riffs they deserve alot more

[BruNoLoCc]

Yeah, I think they came back hard on this album, but still not as good or heavy as "A Chorus of Obliteration"

[reamkore]

iMO there second album set them back, but back breaker is nice little album.

[XMetallicaAXxx]

@Moparandrsfreak01 ABSOLUTELY, I couldn't agree more these guys are my favorite christian band next to tourniquet

[davidEacost]

we are warriors sons but we run from a cause that brings freedom,and purpose and hope to us all!!!

[HaXeD2200]

THESE GUYS ROCKED PURPLE DOOR!!!!!!!

[OMIGHTYGUY]

PURPLE DOOR FOR THE WIN!!

Were you there for Family Force 5? I hope so; that was awesome! I'm also glad that House of Heroes was there. Code Name: Raven for another win!!! :D

[2112BFG2112]

GET SNAKE BIT!!!

[TheSpeakersofFlames]

We saw these guys at Ichthus in Wilmore, Ky  few weeks ago. They were really down to earth with there fan no matter grievance of faith.

[Morhwal]

i wish instead of yell singing he would sing nicely or growl XD

but its pretty cool.

[W33Man4Jesus]

God bless you too.

[W33Man4Jesus]

Check out the live performance of this song on my channel.

[moo8dathotmaildotcom]

These guys considered metal?

Hardcore?

[Morhwal]

metal

[safetyalwaysoff]

whammy! hit the nail on the head Fazeloe. Couldn't have expressed that better myself.

[13shimmy]

Why does this shout Slipknot's singer at me?

[Noa4h]

Hah, I can see that.

Taylor though doesn't have this rough of a voice, he forces his voice to be rough, not like the singer of The Showdown.

Anyways, I've seen The Showdown twice (they were on the tour roster) and I love their live shows, but I could never get into their music. It's been a while since I've last heard them and this song is actually pretty catchy, in my eyes. I'll have to hear some more songs, maybe the sound is rubbing me right now.

[WhenxChristxReturnsx]

It took me awhile to get used to this album and start to like it, I was very much impressed with their first album, and admired its death metal and thrashy sound. It seemed to show a lot more talent and passion than this album, but that's just my two cents. I don't like how The Showdown drastically changes their sound and style for every album, but they are a very good and Godly band if you ask me, and I love the fact they stand for Christ.

[Noa4h]

That's a good way to put it.

Yeah, and I've heard that too, about how they change their style every album. I actually really like this cd now, it's great now that I'm more exposed to it.

Also, I do admire the fact about how 'godly' they are, but I hold secular views. Oh well, my favorite band has been The Chariot two years now. I love Christian rock.

[WhenxChristxReturnsx]

Oh it's cool man, whatever floats your boat ^_^ Ooo me likey The Chariot!

[pbnut]

CHARIOT! Great band. You get thumbs up just for that.

[HisBondservant777]

@WhenxChristxReturnsx Lovin the Name Bro or Sis, Idk you like that lol

[WhenxChristxReturnsx]

Oh thanks! I'm a guy. :]

[jacobpotter]

...because... they're both epic?

[13shimmy]

YOUR MY HERO!!! i forgot the name of this band now im downloading this and putting it onto my ipod thanks jacobpotter! achilles (0_0)\m/

[freestatescr]

i get to see this band at purple door again. i saw them last year and they were amazing.

[safetyalwaysoff]

chainsaw303 you are the biggest idiot i've ever seen on here. Why dont you go listen to some gay marilyn manson shit. THIS IS A CHRISTIAN BAND ON A CHRISTIAN LABEL. Deal with it. Everyone knows christian metal is the best out there. For you to be shit talking jesus and christianity and say you are a fan of this band makes you mentally retarded. You think the showdown would support you? Pull your head out of your ass.

p.s. JESUS LOVES YOU

[halowut]

303chainsaw how bout u go shoot yourself buddy and stop picking on kids online alright? you make yourself sound like yur 5 idiot, metal doesnt support jesus? have u not heard of as i lay dying or haste the day? your a freaking drone kid just another faggot

[gameboy100894]

1:im older than 13 dumbass

2:im not gay

3:go to hell

34:this band is christian

[303chainsaw303]

1. 15?

2. yes you are

3. i am, join me ok dday 716th!

4. thats nice but 34?

[gameboy100894]

does anyone realy care about this conversation in the long run? you know wil either of us care tomarrow?

[bistroisrock]

Dood youtube fights are stupid so just quit being so immature.

[FenderMetalShredder]

You wanted a fight, well you sure the hell get one.

Get off this video. I came here to enjoy a song, and not to hear you bitch like a little girl to kids younger than you.

[Fazeloe]

Jesus is real and cares about you. I think it takes more faith to believe that everything around you is a coincidence than to believe that their is a creator that made you, and wants you to appreciate all he's done

[senteron]

somewould not agree.

WHY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THIS ON A METAL VIDEO!?!?

[Morhwal]

because its a christian band.

[tehfear]

Manliest song ever. Makes me want to bang girl haha.

[irtehd00d]

I'm loving the tempo of this track.

Found it by chance too!

[xmega45x]

this album sounds more metal than there other albums to me.

[HeadbangForChrist777]

YEAH!

[303chainsaw303]

your name is gay metal doesnt support jesus faggit god doesnt exist dumbshit satan will rule us all!

[canadionsoldierboy]

if god doesnt exist satan doesnt either...and fuck satan i will stab him with a pitchfork and cut off his tail

[ryanlovesamanda4ever]

your name supports Christ like nothing else man!!!

GOD BLESS YOU MAN!!!!!!

[Theheavymetalscott]

@ryanlovesamanda4ever please keep your religion to yourself that mass hysteria really aggravates me.

[DarkCrusaderTL]

@Theheavymetalscott and your ignorance really aggravates me

[TheRacoonLives]

@ryanlovesamanda4ever

Fuck your god

[DarkCrusaderTL]

@TheRacoonLives and fuck you too

[TheRacoonLives]

@DarkCrusaderTL

atleast im not an imaginary friend lol you fucking child, ya there is a big magical man in the sky feel safe pussy

[DarkCrusaderTL]

@TheRacoonLives yeah and everything you do is for nothing, totally worthless, which makes you worthless

[TheRacoonLives]

@DarkCrusaderTL

haha you believe the earth was born 6,000 years ago and it started with two people, everything you say is worthless because you are a moron bro :D

[DarkCrusaderTL]

@TheRacoonLives i never said i believe any of that stuff, you are a moron for assuming shit, and i ain't your bro

[TheRacoonLives]

@DarkCrusaderTL

Of course your not MY bro, My bros arnt little girly queers ;)

[DarkCrusaderTL]

@TheRacoonLives your the tweedle toed cocksucking dickless fucktard, so shut the fuck up, if you don't like the christian belief, then don't fucking post shit like that on their videos, go post that shit on some satanist band

[2013bookhead]

@DarkCrusaderTL people like you give Christians a bad name. That language is totally uncalled for. from anyone, especially one who seems to be the pot calling the kettle black. so, kindly GTFO hypocrite.

[DarkCrusaderTL]

@2013bookhead who ever said i was christian? think before you say anything

[2013bookhead]

@DarkCrusaderTL you sure made it seem that way, i was simply going on what you gave :)

[DarkCrusaderTL]

@2013bookhead no i just can stand when idiots bash any religion, i will stand up for Christians, Jews, Muslims, Shintos, Buhddist, Pagans, and even true Satanists( if they aren't assholes)

but not LeVyan satanist ( they just call themselves that cause they hate god)

[HeadbangForChrist777]

Sjazz87, Korn sucks. The Showdown OWNS!

[flanker2020]

that looks painful.

[heavydrums15]

OMG its way different fromw their old stuff i dont think i like this :( i loved a chorus of obliteration :)

[303chainsaw303]

are you gay?

[tehfear]

Didn't like their latestest album at first (its pretty different from A Chorus of Obliteration), but it's kind of growing on me.

[bbristowe]

LOL slipknot blows your all faggets. Bend over for draimen because he'll be finished with your boyfriends soon. Fucking queers. Slipknot LOL, teen angst LOLOLOL

[gameboy100894]

slipknot has and alwase will SUCK BALLS!!!!!

[tehfear]

So will your spelling.

[gameboy100894]

yeah my spelling does suck :P

[303chainsaw303]

are you fucking gay? wuts with the smiley face its a fucking metal song you stupid bitch

[gameboy100894]

you think i realy care? and cussing allot just makes you look like a freaking retard so stfu

[303chainsaw303]

hmmm yes rertarded nice god dam name you son of a bitch you listen to a band thats fucking cool, yet you permit yourself to being a gay shit hole ass hole this band would be insulted for you to listen to em and would probablly make a music video of beeting the shit out of a thirteen year old pussy fuck hahahah pusyy

[HeadbangForChrist777]

HEY! Metal does support Jesus! Deliverance is thrash metal, and Christian! Just because you hate Jesus doesn't mean you call Christians gay!

Jesus Christ,The Son of God, King of Jews, (by the way Jews are God's chosen people), can free your soul and you won't have to go to Hell for eternity!

[jacobpotter]

lol, alwase...

[xmega45x]

did you just compare slipknot, one of the worst bands ever, to THE SHOWDOWN?!?!!!?!

[jsh16]

Um slipknot isnt that bad theyre pretty good. I dont like them as much as i like showdown though.

[303chainsaw303]

slipknot sucks now you fucking suck asshole

[jacobpotter]

just because you said slipknot sucks, I already hate you. but then all the other crap?

I am surprised someone hasn't murdered you through the computer yet. Like Chuck Norris, in that one commercial.

[jpizzle270]

slip ka not dose suck

[jacobpotter]

That comment does not even deserve a response.

[jpizzle270]

oh i do believe it dose my friend

[GamerJamer]

IT'S 'DOES' FOR FUCKS SAKE

[bloodicex]

God damnit, thank you. Was JUST about to comment that but I saw you did. Fuckin eh.

[MasterSergeF18]

is this band really christian?

[notme2468]

They say they are

[DropDeadFluffyBunny]

Yeah... atleast influenced by christ... They're playing at creation 2009 so... Look up the band Inhale Exhale too... there pretty good heh...

[xxSilverPhoenixx]

Yep, sure is. There's a niche for metal heads who happen to be Christian (or have a crazy Christian girlfriend) ergo, it get's filled. If you like, also try "Day of Fire" "Decyfer Down" or "Diciple", all Christian metal bands

[bb87widez]

yeah.. listen to theyre song laid to rest and you will see

[MJOLNIRMkIV]

So is this their third album? I have the first, and listened to their next and it had awful Creed vocals so I just didn't even try.

[rspeaksup]

Yeah this is the new album with new members they went away from the whole easy listening christian music and still kill it.

[902YX]

Yeah, they got southern on their second album, and then a bit heavier on their latest one again.

[killthenoob28]

wow i just found a great band

[hidefrombush617]

good thing for youtube. because it just helped me find another band i like

[lifeispeachey1026]

sorry i love these guys but listen to this at 00:54 then listen to again we rise by lamb of god

[meatball707]

My new favorite band:) Love it!

[PJ6sic6]

saw them last night, with brigand. good show but this band with a fat chick was stupid.

[jwynn75]

i did not know i liked this band till i heard this song it rocks!!!

[666boyformerpengapop]

this songmakes me wanna mosh

[666boyformerpengapop]

he sounds a little like c o r e y

[PiErRe6363]

the voice of the singer is a bit like corey tailor voice!

Its my opinion

[21TH21]

Hmm kind of, not really... but Corey Taylor is MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH BETTER. Way better at yelling too, than this guy.

[PiErRe6363]

hmmm yes

but the singer of The showdown sing like corey when him scream i think

[21TH21]

Corey doesn't scream, he yells. There is a difference. And to say they sound the same is kind of an insult to Corey.

[PiErRe6363]

hmm

anyway both singers ares aweasum

[Joslin74]

he growls

[Hellsadvocate]

Corey Taylor is horrible at screaming/yelling, or whatever you wanna call it. He needs to stick to clean vocals, and even then he still sounds like a generic nu-metal vocalist. David is much better.

But maybe that's because Slipknot is just horrible. And no, Stone Sour isn't any better.

It's an insult to David imo. Corey Taylor is overrated, and overall fairly untalented.

[davementalman]

i have no real issue with corey's vocals but you're right about his clean voice being better.

the song "Bother" on the spiderman soundtrack is evidence of this

[dono7bob]

this guy has one of the best screams i've ever heard at first i didn't like it but it's crazy. Definitely unique though

[gearzofwar123]

thank you, atleast someone agrees that slipknot is just plain bad, as is stone sour. props to you for knowing your shit man. corey is very overrated.

[jacobpotter]

seriously, give it a rest; arguing over music is stupid. I, personally, LOVE slpknot. there is no law that governs what "good music" or "bad music" is. everyone has a completely unique taste, and that is their business and theirs alone.

[Mayerthorpe]

Man, you are the first person I have ever heard that has figured this out!

Congrats

Personally Im up for Disturbed... but that doesnt make it right (or wrong)

[jacobpotter]

in completely the opposite point as my last post,

Disturbed pwns

Metallica rock

Te Showdown = win

Slipknot is awesome

Korn sucks

marilyn manson is meh rap = crap (that's why they're only one letter apart.)

[Sjazz87]

HEY! Not all rap is bad(just very few good artists)I agree that Marilyn Mason is a freak but Korn is beast, YALL WANT A SINGLE SYA FUCK THAT FUUCKKK THAT FUCK THAT!

[Itachi667]

I completely agree.

[PiErRe6363]

so aweasum!
