NEWS: Job For A Cowboy continue to rot…

They streamed it! Now they unveil the video for it! Next it will be the playthrough? You know the drill! The second single from the highly anticipated new album from Job For A Cowboy has been given the full music video treatment so you can get freaky with “The Forever Rot“. Given how early these cuts are appearing it will be interesting to see just how much of the album is left on 23rd February 2024. That’s when the record, titled “Moon Healer” drops via Metal Blade Records an album produced by Jason Suecof (Trivium, The Black Dahlia Murder, Whitechapel) and featuring drums from Navene Koperweis (Ethenos, Animals As Leaders, Machine Head)…

“Jonny and I delved extensively over the past few years into the conceptual aspects of “Moon Healer”, and there was naturally a wide array of visual imagery invoked by the subject matter. We really wanted to bring the experiences of the character in Sun Eater/Moon Healer to life. The thematic elements represented are uniquely interesting to me so I was quite enthused to be able to take on the videos for “The Agony Seeping Storm”, and now, “The Forever Rot”. I’ve been pretty extensively diving into video production over the last few year with director Kyle Lamar from Digital Myle on other projects, so there’s a synergy that’s there with us already. His camera work is incredible and he’s got such a great grasp on every element of the process. Jonny, Kyle, and I really gelled (ha) together, and I think it shows in the final product. Extracting the raw, authentic elements of the song’s narrative, melody, and emotion, and translating them into a visual composition has been vastly artistically fulfilling and I look forward to creating more…from brainstorming, to filming, all the way through editing, it’s such a fun process to see our ideas come to fruition. It’s quite the ride…we hope you enjoy the trip!” ~ bassist Nick Schendzielos

“On MoonHealer, we explore a concept centered around a close friend who embarked on a relentless quest for profound enlightenment through the incessant abuse of hallucinogenic drugs, leading to a severe disconnection from reality due to the toll it took on their mental health. The song ‘The Forever Rot’ touches on their beliefs that human evolution and development have somehow led to the restriction of perceiving otherworldly or inter-dimensional realities and religious entities. It delves into their disconnection from the physical world and the notion that true vitality may be found in the ability to self-destruct and recreate. That some of the drugs they consumed opened these realities that evolution has closed the door on.” ~ vocalist Jonny Davy
