Job For A Cowboy Debuts New Music Video
Experimental death metallers Job For A Cowboy are pleased to unleash "Beyond The Chemical Doorway," the latest single from their long-awaited new full-length, "Moon Healer," set for release on February 23, 2024 via Metal Blade Records. The release marks the iconic outfit‘s first new full-length in a decade! You can check out the video below.
With "Beyond The Chemical Doorway," Davy explores Gnosticism -- an occult teaching based on Gnosis, a state of transcendence achieved through intuitive, unconventional means -- by way of Hieronymus Bosch‘s art. Elaborates Davy: "On 'Moon Healer,' we unravel the dismal narrative of a close friend consumed by an unwavering pursuit of enlightenment. They achieve this through a compulsive embrace of hallucinogenic drugs. This storyline emerges from the foundation set in our earlier album, Sun Eater, delving deeper into the intricacies brewing within our friend's psyche.
"When under the influence of these drugs," he continues, "this individual claimed to encounter entities and find themselves in indescribable worlds that defy rational comprehension. Many who undergo such experiences draw intriguing parallels between diverse facets of Gnostic philosophy, biblical depictions of angels, and the stages of Bardo Thodol delineated in the Tibetan Book Of The Dead. In the album's opener, 'Beyond The Chemical Doorway,' our friend vividly voices his hallucinations, recounting the experience of breaching forbidden, gnostic-like realms, with each account culminating in the utter unraveling of his being."

1985-1995: The Golden Age of Death Metal
Death should be credited with creating death metal, at least the old school style we recognize now, as they birthed the infamous Tampa, Florida sound. Bands such as Autopsy and Obituary—two of the forerunners—would not exist without Death. Death is not the true father of death metal, though. That distinction goes to Possessed. The California Bay Area group not only played a style of brutal, vicious metal, with loads of Satanic imagery, they also coined the term “death metal” on the “Seven Churches” album.
Around 1985, albums similar to “Slowly We Rot” (Obituary) and “Mental Funeral” (Autopsy) simply did not exist. Thrash was the fasted, craziest music around. Of course Possessed has already been mentioned, but the influence of Slayer, who obviously influenced Possessed, can not be under recognized. Where Possessed was different was they used a rougher production. Dark Angel, whose drummer, Gene Hoglan, would go on to be one of the most heralded drummers in the metal biz, certainly showed a good dose of Slayer in their sound. In the beginning, Slayer was nothing more than a faster, nefarious, more solo-oriented Venom protégé. More...

Job for a Cowboy today sets loose a third cut from the upcoming "Sun Eater" album.
"The Celestial Antidote" is #6 in the sequence of nine songs on the album. Check out "The Celestial Antidote" below, thanks to MetalInjection.net.
Guitarist Al Glassman discusses the song's significance:
"Bobby Thompson, who left us as a full time member in 2010, continues to remain a part of Job for a Cowboy always, and once again contributed an incredible track to the new record. For those who have heard 'Tarnished Gluttony' (his contribution to the last record), you will not be disappointed with his latest song. It's moody and heavy as hell, and features some of my favorite guitar work on the record on Tony's end. After years of writing with Bobby, I can honestly say that this is his best work yet with JFAC and I hope you guys dig it too!"

Hear "Eating The Visions Of God" yourself below, thanks Metal Sucks. Metal Blade Records will release the album on November 11th and had to this to say:
"Producer Jason Suecof, vocalist Jonny Davy, guitarists Al Glassman and Tony Sannicandro, bassist Nick Schendzielos, and session drummer Danny Walker have crafted a cerebral and accomplished piece of technical death metal. Job for a Cowboy wrapped up touring in 2013 as part of the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival that summer.
"Following that performance, the band collectively decided to sharpen their focus and set an intent on cooking up a record that encompassed their full dynamic range of talent. The group had all agreed on the main course being a desire for futuristic tones, a wider spectrum of textures and tempos, and an emphasis on slightly more ancestral song construction. The result, 'Sun Eater,' does not just sound like a new record, it sounds like an entirely new band." More...
Job For A Cowboy Posts New Song
Job For A Cowboy has wrapped up work on music and art on fourth full-length album, "Sun Eater." Metal Blade Records comments:
"Along with producer Jason Suecof, vocalist Jonny Davy, guitarists Al Glassman and Tony Sannicandro, bassist Nick Schendzielos, and session drummer Danny Walker have crafted a cerebral and accomplished piece of technical death metal.

Listen to "Sun of Nihility" below and you can pre-order the album now at this location. Regarding composition, guitarist Tony Sannicandro recalled:
"This album came together very smoothly. We had the concept before hand and I took it upon myself to try and portray that concept through the music. I took a much more melodic approach than 'Demonocracy:' focusing on the structuring and the layering that would complement the story to my ears."
The other half of the guitar duo, Al Glassman, continued to be a driving force behind the band's sound. Bassist Nick Schendzielos added that "Al riffs long and hard for greater the good of everyone involved. He really used a lot of foresight in his revisions during the writing process, creating ample room for me to mood-out the tracks with bass that you can actually hear. in the end I think we really brought the character out in each and every song."
"Sun Eater" will be available via Metal Blade Records on November 11th in North America and November 7th/10th in Europe/UK. More...

The visual imagery is astonishing and I can't wait for folks to see what we have in store. Some seriously amazing guest musicians are going to featured in the next installments…maybe even the top guitarist in metal? Stay tuned!" More...

"As of this past August, I have decided to part ways with Job for a Cowboy. There are a few reasons for this, none of which I'm going to get into. That being said, I have no intentions of stopping touring or playing. I honestly love to tour and play live with new people, so I look forward to playing in new musical arenas in the future. The dudes and I are on very good terms with this and they understand the decision. They have a new record in the making and I'm extremely excited to hear it. Thanks again to everyone."
