THE SHOWDOWN SHOOT BRAND NEW VIDEO FOR "TEMPTATION COME MY WAY" WITH DIRECTOR DOUG SPANGENBERG

On May 21, Tennessee's own The Showdown began filming their first music video with accomplished music video director Doug Spangenberg. The video for "Temptation Come My Way" will give a television audience their first official look at the South's high-voltage rockers.

For their first video, The Showdown brought in Doug Spangenberg, who has directed videos for Norma Jean, This Is Hell, and Terror, as well as Lamb of God's 2005 gold-selling DVD Killadelphia. Filmed on the same grounds used by MTV's Jackass crew, the video will reflect the band's 80s style and features some serious explosions!!

Frontman David Bunton says, "This music video captures the true spirit and feel of The Showdown. No holds barred, heavy metal, pyro, and headbanging. That's what we're all about. The goal for our first video was to give people a small taste of how rude we can be live. Heavy metal is plugged in and loud. Heavy metal is the law."

"I was amped on the song as soon as I heard it," says Spangenberg. "We kept it simple and shot the band shredding their faces off in a field with a shitload of pyro. In retrospect, I'm surprised they made it out with only light singe marks. They're great dudes, and I look forward to barbequing with them this summer on Ozzfest."
