Job For A Cowboy announce new album ‘Moon Healer’
JOB FOR A COWBOY have announced a new album!
Titled Moon Healer, the upcoming album from the Arizona-based death metal band is the long-awaited follow-up to 2014’s Sun Eater, and is scheduled to be released in February next year, via Metal Blade Records.
The band travelled to Sanford, Florida to record with producer Jason Suecof [DEATH ANGEL, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, DEICIDE] at his Audiohammer Studios. “We’ve gone through this same ritual with Jason for a multitude of reasons,” says frontman Jonny Davy. “But the most obvious one is that he’s a masterful songwriter, guitar player, and even vocalist. He has an ear for ideas that very few seemingly have. He totally understands where we’re coming from as a band.”
Davy furthers elaborates about the new album, “on Moon Healer, 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.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new song from the upcoming album; The Forever Rot. The new song is the second single to be released from the upcoming album, following on from The Agony Seeping Storm, which was released back in August.
Speaking about the new song, Davy says, “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.”
