Showdown

Lyrics

Showdown

It's been such a long time coming I'd thought you'd understand That's over, hate of the last Will be joining in the sand But it's simple you were wrong You must have known that we didn't not belong I know you thought I'd sold my soul But you never told me to my face I just had to let you go And blow this shit away Here we go again

    Bullet For My Valentine have announced new album ‘Social Apocalypse’, single and 2027 tour

    Bullet For My Valentine’s eighth album ‘Social Apocalypse’ arrives in March, alongside its title track, a new video and an arena tour with Pendulum.

    Five Brixton Academy live records that trace its rock and dance history

    From Faith No More and Soul II Soul’s 1990 recordings to Pendulum and Chase & Status’ later audio-visual releases, these documents trace several eras of the London venue.

    Pendulum have collaborated with Joey Valence & Brae on their new single 'Napalm'

    The DnB track precedes Pendulum's upcoming Reading & Leeds performances this weekend.
