Returning extreme experimental death metal outfit Job For A Cowboy has shared the official music video for their latest single, ‘Beyond the Chemical Doorway’. The song comes off their long-awaited new full-length, “Moon Healer”, set for official release on February 23rd, 2024 via Metal Blade Records. Check out the video below.
“Moon Healer” -which marks the band’s first new full-length in a decade – is a vivid illustration of what happens when creativity, aggression, and volatility tangle for the first time in years. Like the band’s critically adored, 2014-released “Sun Eater”, the upcoming album is musically multifaceted, unabashedly brutal, and compellingly conceptual.
Featuring a newly refreshed and reinspired lineup of frontman and co-founder Jonny Davy, guitarists Tony Sannicandro and Al Glassman, bassist Nick Schendzielos, and drummer (since 2020) Navene Koperweis, the band seamlessly picks up the mantle where “Sun Eater” left off.
The album’s first single, ‘The Agony Seeping Storm,’ displayed a mathematically mind-blowing hybrid of bludgeoning death metal specializing in unconventional riffing that echoes the resemblance of legendary experimentalists like Cynic, Atheist, and Gorguts. The second offering, ‘The Forever Rot,’ stood in stark contrast, delving into a lonesome and haunting guitar melody, then evolving into shimmering reflections of Obituary, Coroner, Voivod, and even hints of Neurosis. In other words, forget about your preconceived perceptions of what this band was. This twists vocal tropes, chord forms, and melodies into loops of razor wire.
