The crushing new record marks The Showdown's Solid State debut. The Showdown will be on the Solid State Tour this fall with the heavy-hitting Norma Jean.

Vocalist David Bunton commented on the new album: "Back Breaker is the sum of our band's raw power, aggression, and total dedication to heavy metal. It's all about our band getting what we do live on tape. Back Breaker is the record The Showdown made when we stopped caring about anything but heavy metal.
