you couldve told me yall wrote this at the same time as sun and sat on it and id believe it. truly couldnt imagine a more perfect followup. watching yall grow and listening to yall mature has been one of lifes greatest blessings
This album is proof that you can be techy and tasteful in death metal without being another 300bpm band! Brilliantly thought out, and masterfully executed! Job have just released their magnum opus! 🤘🤘🤘
I dont mind the general tech vibe but i do prefer the jazzier line of tech. More reminiscent of the early tech death like atheist and cynic. Less like necrophagist. And no diss to necro. Just most bands took that tech approach
@@anemonaloco I think both ways, Im not a musician but the overall quality of this instrument in this album its just immmense. I think its fretless right ?
No way. Vitriol. This album is bland. The Artesian Era has a lineup of bands that poop on this. Album could of been better and heavier. They just have the Entombment cult.
Moon Healer album of the year. Job For A Cowboy never has disappointed and this just solidifies the reign of the Arizona kings. Nick Shinz is unreal on the bass with this album, simply monstrous. 🤘🔥
He jams better as vladimir putin in nuclear power trio. But its also a WAY DIFFERENT project. NP3 is instrumental so it gives a lil more freedom than jfac. But that doesnt stop him. Nick is good wherever he is
@@Prof.Pwnalot the only album of theirs close to this was sun eater. The rest dont compare. And sun eater id have put on my 2014 aoty top 5. EASY. And it probably wouldnt be 5. Especially back then when core music was even more prevalent stinking up metal with mediocrity. Doom is all they got that compares. Especially for its time
The Agony Seeping Storm is still my personal fave but The Sun Gave Me Ashes fucking blew my balls off on first listen. Not a single skip-worthy track tho. This album is straight gas through and through.
You can definitely tell the psychelic influence just from the song titles. Also I feel like ophanim are very common to see in trips for some reason and anything to do with eyes.
I still remember a Salvia trip I had like 8 years ago like it was yesterday I'll be an old man on my death bed remembering that, psychedelics influence everything you do for your entire life
I'm confused... The LSD doing it's job? Who's endorsing the paychecks? That just dragged some strange imagery out of the pits of my mind of blotter paper growing arms and signing the back of a check!
Cowboy got his job back. Only a decade, but a decade well worth the wait. I'm so stoked for this band and for the future of death metal. More like this please!!
I only ever knew these guys for the pig squeal stuff from their earlier days. I avoided the band thinking they were as one dimensional as the kids who enjoyed that aspect of the music. Man I'm glad I was wrong. This album has incredible depth. Technical without being mathematic or compulsively so..heavy as you like but without feeling corny or forced. Full of grooves without being plagued by constant breakdowns. I'm glad I can appreciate this now.
Check out their last album Sun Eater; it was when they shifted sounds. They also enlisted Danny Walker to write and perform drums on the record. He's the original drummer for Intronaut and one of the most creative the world's ever seen!
It’s crazy being from Arizona and knowing these guys as the band that went to the high school nearby. Going from Doom to now a band I can truly respect and be proud of saying I’m a fan. Sunspeaker and Moon Healer are literally on par with Death or Necrophagist. Seriously top notch proggy death metal.
"Time Will Take Us All" by Entheos. "Datalysium" by The Zenith Passage. "Moon Healer" by Job For a Cowboy. 3 masterpieces arriving in less than a year ... Thanks to these artists for existing.
Check out Ophidian I's sophomore album as well dudo... like JFAC, they took aeons to release another album, and it RIPS. Tech-Death with a difference 😉
Oh yeah, been looking forward to this since the first song dropped. Even the preview slaps. Hoping they release another album in 20 years called Solar System Soother or something to keep the theme going.
The sequence from 12:10 - 12:55 is so fucking good. That subtle change in tempo is so elegant. That whole track is an absolute lesson in great writing.
I have been greatly disinterested in metal for about the last 10 years but this popped up in my algorithm and this is just undeniable badass. These guys have a more unique sound and really cool lyrics.
nick is in my opinion the undisputed best bassist in metal. this album just sounds so thick and i just dont think many bassists could add in this kinda of depth, its blowing my mind
The little bass riff at 30:32 is exactly what i love about this band. They still feel fun and experimental with their music. The whole album has a deep bass groove that just keeps you flying through the songs. Absolutely love this one.
They were both really popular back in their day but also weirdly hated by many elitists for their core beginnings. Didnt matter what they did. Their scores on the metal archives are whack. Which its the archive. You always gotta take it with a grain of salt. But still. Even at jfacs worst they were never putting out schlock. Demonocracy is the highest rated album at 72 percent. Thats wild.
@@unclebobboomergames Demonocracy is my least favorite, funny enough. Ruination is definitely my favorite so far, but this one might top it the more I listen to it.
@@ScatWilliams69 for me its Sun Eater Doom Demonocracy Genesis Doom Gloom Ruination 2004 demo Ruination caused me to fall out of interest but now that im older it IS better than i remember for sure. Just a lil too samey. Until the album closer. I need more time with moon healer. Its top 3 somewhere. But i need to marinate with it a bit
I'd have to disagree. Genesis was deathcore, and a little experimentation. Ruination was where they changed it up quite a bit. Then the member changes and Gloom is where they really changed and demonocracy (which is at the bottom of the list for me) sun Eater was fantastic and this new one is just as great.
The baselines, drum fills, cymbal taps, riffs, solos, and vocal cadences dance to the darkness we crave. Make me shake with its subdivision. It Grooves and is technical as hell. It's a mixture of metal we have come to know from Job for a cowboy.
Randomly thought about you guys and saw there IS new music! Like 10 years later. WHAT?! I went to local shows and remember seeing you guys in 06! This is what I needed!!! Hell yes
I was excited, my expectations were high, and I'm happy to know that they were exceeded, everyone who worked for this album to be released is to be congratulated, it was years of waiting that finally came to an end in a splendid way!!!
I can see how people don't find this as heavy fosho however I think it makes those parts that are heavy even better when they hit, nah'm sayin? Plus you can't resist that bass work 😂
I think if all someone is looking for is just "heaviness" then they care more about surface level nonsense. This is tech metal. Idk why theyd even be here
I had no idea they still made music . I remember listening to their first album or 2 and then never hearing much again . They sound really good on this
@timperry2375 I hear you, but this album has to be on the top three this year and not two or three. 8 perfect songs, didnt over do it or made long songs, kept it fairly traditional, and the way the album flows is just natural. Also, the band to me has taken a massive step forward from the last album. From beginning to end, it traps you, and that's an excellent album from Job
QUE ONDA JFAC!! Y'all are slaughterinnggg itttt. I hadn't kept up with this band since the myspace days. I kept up with other bands like Cattle Decap, Dying Fetus, Faceless, Meshuggah etc etc but NEVER kept up with YOU. My deepest apologies. I am catching up on all this. Bravo, saludos to all my vatos locos out there headbanging right now. Chin up brochachos!!
My favorite country band
It's certainly up there with Wheeler Walker Jr.
😂❤it
You mean OUR favorite country band
These guys and then Garth!
Ya it's weird... the only country band I can stand! JfoFcb! Rippin' album!
Thank you all for such a warm response! We're super grateful ya'll dig it!
Nick you are a beast and a master of your instrument, you carried hard this album. Amazing work, all my respect to you.
you couldve told me yall wrote this at the same time as sun and sat on it and id believe it. truly couldnt imagine a more perfect followup. watching yall grow and listening to yall mature has been one of lifes greatest blessings
Best metal album of the last decade easily. Good GOD.

This band has shown the most consistent growth without ever becoming boring or a rehash and always genuine
@@MountainsBreath Reminds me of cattle decapitation. Wish they would tour together!
This was truly a Job for a Cowboy.
One of the job for a cowboy moments of all time
Got the vinyl today, 10/10 would wait another 10 years for an album this good. Easy AOTY heavyweight.
Got mine today as well. Have to agree. This was def a banger!!
Just ordered it right now :D Which one did you get? I got dark purple since purple smoke is sold out
I got mine yesterday. Probably their best album imo
Well put
It's only February lol

Came for the BASS
Not fucking disappointed 😮👏👏
bro that bass is like Evan Brewer Fucked Dan Briggs
Ryan Martinie vibes.
The mix is spot on
I also came 🤤
@@BIGFESH has to be nich shinzielos on bass then,he is martinie's protege in essence.
Im a 137 year old Amish Electrical engineer and i can get silly to this music album.
This is where the bass should be in the mix for every band in every genre 👍
The bass isn't even loud, the guitars are full center and the bass fills up all the room outside
My most anticipated record of the year so far!
word. Been waiting since my first listen of Sun Eater
Me too
It's been awhile since the last album
No way. Vitriol. This album is bland. The Artesian Era has a lineup of bands that poop on this. Album could of been better and heavier. They just have the Entombment cult.

Can't wait to jam to this album while working.
Can't wait to jam to this while working out too. 💪
Me too, gonna blast it in the delivery van lol whole neighborhoods are gonna be hearing this one XD

@@DanClapp ahh nice great job for jamming tunes
Moon Healer album of the year. Job For A Cowboy never has disappointed and this just solidifies the reign of the Arizona kings. Nick Shinz is unreal on the bass with this album, simply monstrous. 🤘🔥
Bro that bass playing is so sick
He jams better as vladimir putin in nuclear power trio. But its also a WAY DIFFERENT project. NP3 is instrumental so it gives a lil more freedom than jfac. But that doesnt stop him. Nick is good wherever he is
Yo I did not know they were from AZ, that makes me love them even more now lol (I'm from AZ)
Job have put out better records in the past, theres no way this is fuckin album of the year, just based on that logic alone.

10/10 blegh in track 1. Well done, boys!
The blegh in Grinding Wheels of Ophanim physically gave me stank face.
Johnny Davy is the man!
Every piece of this album is absolutely gold.. every tasty lick, groove, and pattern is Jeff's kiss.
@@SADerMetzgerI counted 4 breakdowns in that song as well
That's why I listen to JFAC-all for the blegh.
The Agony Seeping Storm is still my personal fave but The Sun Gave Me Ashes fucking blew my balls off on first listen. Not a single skip-worthy track tho. This album is straight gas through and through.
Etched in Oblivion made me grimace when it started. The vocal phrasing paired with the drums 👌Amazing stuff.
Been blasting this album so hard in the gym, youll find me deadlifting in the pit!
Same bro. Just finished a deadlifts and back session to this monster album
So many years and it is a pleasure seeing the lsd doing its job on your minds
You can definitely tell the psychelic influence just from the song titles. Also I feel like ophanim are very common to see in trips for some reason and anything to do with eyes.
Thank Dr Gottlieb for that and the Swiss dude responsible for delysid

Yeah I remember when Elliot went to the same high school. lol. The old Jfac days.
Heavyweight contender for all accolades possible. Great stuff.
terrific bass playing
Great song structure. Love how the instrument's tell a story as much as the vocals.
"The boys are back in town the boys are back in towwn" 🎶
Got the album and t-shirt in the mail 2 days ago, been playing on repeat in my car since then. Fuckin love it!!!
It's a good day to have ears. 🔥
Gorgeous work. Grinding wheels/the sun gave me ashes/into the crystalline is an unbeatable trio 🔥
Just gonna do a Sorrow filled Moon dirty like that okay I get it
On another level . Completely
"Time Will Take Us All" by Entheos.
"Datalysium" by The Zenith Passage.
"Moon Healer" by Job For a Cowboy.
3 masterpieces arriving in less than a year ... Thanks to these artists for existing.
Navene K crushing it on two of those 3!
bro derek rydquist on datalysium is so nasty. was not expecting that at all. felt like the old faceless.
The Zenith Passage are incredible.
I stringly recommened Vitriol's latest album "Suffer & Become." You will love it.
Check out Ophidian I's sophomore album as well dudo... like JFAC, they took aeons to release another album, and it RIPS. Tech-Death with a difference 😉
Didn't expect a new age technical death metal album. I dig it.
It’s only fitting that’s it’s ushered in by Jfac
According to their press stuff and Jonny, it's about a guy they knew who fried his brain on psychedelics
gonna be another phenomenal record
Somehow, I'm 3 songs in and the album has already surpassed Sun Eater.
Absolutely blown away!
I think its quite premature for Such an Assessment.
Sun Eater definitely hits better for me . But this album is definitely amazing
I have sun eater just over. But if this is the quality of a comeback...dawg...
Sun eater hit better for me…..
Agreed! And I love Sun Eater, just for the record.
Oh yeah, been looking forward to this since the first song dropped. Even the preview slaps. Hoping they release another album in 20 years called Solar System Soother or something to keep the theme going.

sorry boys but jared smith of archspire takes that cake undisputedly
however this is top top top top top tier bass
@@pungentzeus disagree but when youre comparing that level to us plebs whats even the fkin difference ya know. Comparing dieties

Oh my dear Cowboys, i dont clock out from my Job for 45 more minutes!! FaaaaaC!
Hell Yeah!!!!! That BASS is back! 🙏
Seems like I've been waiting on this album for a million years. I've been blasting The Forever Rot since it was released as a single.
Can't get enough of Grinding Wheels of Ophanim! The chorus is forever stuck in my head. His vocal delivery is just perfect.
Best metal band in the world - quite easily I'd say!
I'm so excited. Every single has been 10/10
indeed. there is not weak track in this album. something kinda rare nowadays.
All that work on an album, just to release it free on RUclips. Buy merch!
Thats the industry now. Is what it is
If they tour I'll be buying a ticket
hell yeah, i liked the tech death direction with sun eater and im glad they stuck with it. this album is really cool so far

chuck just did a back flip in his grave
man you need to listen to more metal is thats what you went to first
I'm crying
Had to put my cowboy boots on for this one 🤘🏻
Never disappointed !!!, my Album of the Year

Beautiful! The triumphant return. 🫡🤠
I'm edging to this album rn.
Randomly thought about you guys and saw there IS new music! Like 10 years later. WHAT?!

This is gonna SLAP for heavy squats and deadlifts.
Fuck yeah dude
Man, that bass just SLAPS.
SEEWHATIDIDTHERE?!? SEEWHATIDIDTHERE?!?
I go back to the preheat the pizza rolls days. My buddy and i played them on top volume from barracks 2003 on MCAS Cherry point in 2009-2011.
This is my favorite album of theirs. Incredible
I can see how people don't find this as heavy fosho however I think it makes those parts that are heavy even better when they hit, nah'm sayin? Plus you can't resist that bass work 😂
I think if all someone is looking for is just "heaviness" then they care more about surface level nonsense. This is tech metal. Idk why theyd even be here
Total 🔥 from start to finish. Well done gents
I would become a worshiper of Cthulhu just to talk to these nerds IRL. GOATS. I've missed this sound. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
awesome bass work .. omg ..
I love this band so much. So grateful they came back to bless us with this record.
This album is insane !!!!! worth the wait , well done guys!!!!
I had no idea they still made music . I remember listening to their first album or 2 and then never hearing much again . They sound really good on this
This album is an absolute masterpiece!🤯 Insane work, guys!🖤
Very excited to listen to this! Y'all have been one of my favorite bands for ages and I can still listen to any of your old albums to this day.
This is going to be fun yo yeehaw!
4 months of waiting for vinyl. finally i can listen to it here at least.
