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. 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."

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.

This was pretty solid. Best thing I've heard since Ruination, cause I've always felt that was their best sounding, most straightforward death metal record. All their other records just sounded off, either musically, or production wise. This was good.
