 After a great deal of touring in both the US and Europe, The Showdown went back to the studio to record their second full length album.This album took a different direction trading in the screaming double-bassing death metal for a more southern approach mixed with elements of their older style such as heavy guitar riffs, some screams (although not as dominated by them), and distinct bass and drum lines, drawing also from 1980s to early 1990s-era metal like Pantera, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, and Metallica.In the fall of 2006, The Showdown joined the Christian rock/alternative band Pillar on "The Days of the Reckoning" tour.
