The iconic extreme experimental death metal lineup of Job For A Cowboy had some long-awaited unfinished business. After nearly nine long years of silence, they have awoken from their slumber, forging "Moon Healer", the follow-up to their previous landmark album, "Sun Eater".

But why the extended wait? “I had to take a step back in the band for family. It was the catalyst that eventually created a fork in the road for all of us. We all drifted into our separate paths,“ explains frontman and band co-founder Jonny Davy. “Fatherhood, additional music projects, academic degrees, and careers outside the band took priority and life’s focus,” so the band agreed on a prolonged hiatus, but with the door open for a return. “Everything lined up for us to collaborate on a new project together, it was time to cross the threshold for something new,” states Davy.

With "Moon Healer", Job For a Cowboy has woven the thematic qualities of "Sun Eater" and used them as a platform to launch deeper into inner and outer space, using fictional situations to ponder the possibilities of existence outside the carbon-based form. For fans of experimental, progressive, and extreme death metal, "Moon Healer" is a satisfying, transformative metal journey unlike any other. And for those who wish to dig a bit deeper, it’s a sonic epiphany, with or without psychoactive substances.

    This was truly a Job for a Cowboy.
  • 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! 🤘🤘🤘
  • @GingerBass
    Im a 137 year old Amish Electrical engineer and i can get silly to this music album.
  • Got the vinyl today, 10/10 would wait another 10 years for an album this good. Easy AOTY heavyweight.

    My most anticipated record of the year so far!
  • @AaronAceroMusic
    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.

    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.
  • Been blasting this album so hard in the gym, youll find me deadlifting in the pit!
  • @anxtypical
    I never thought I would see them release another album, 2024 and here we are 🥹
  • 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. 🤘🔥
