Biography
Glendale, Phoenix AZ, United States (2003 – present)
The band has played in international music festivals, including Download Festival, Mayhem Festival and Wacken Open Air.
Job for a Cowboy started as a deathcore group, and evolved into a predominantly death metal sound with their full-length debut Genesis. They have been described by The New York Times as “an Arizona band with a guttural, brute-force sound descended (indirectly) from hardcore punk” and “straightforwardly brutal act” by Rolling Stone magazine.
At the beginning of 2011, the band started work on an EP which was recorded in February at the Audiohammer Studios in Sanford, Florida with producer Jason Suecof. Just before the recording process began, bassist Brent Riggs and guitarist Bobby Thompson departed from the band and were replaced by Nick Schendzielos of Cephalic Carnage and Tony Sannicandro, respectively. On April 13, 2011, a video appeared on the internet of drummer Jon Rice performing a new song in the studio. Job for a Cowboy issued their new EP on June 7, 2011, entitled Gloom, which was only made available for purchase through mail order and digital download.

I haven't gotten new DM since 2010. And I liked Ruination, but I take it they didn't get any better?

They were deathcore only in the Doom EP. They are death metal, and Genesis is the best, followed by Ruination of course.

Ruination > Gloom > Doom > Genesis > Demonocracy. Also, what forfrosne said.

I've just realised my problem with much of Demonocracy; it's extremely overproduced. It's squeaky-clean. Give me the heavy harshness of Genesis any day!

Did these guys have a big drop in popularity or something? Seems like they haven't been on any good tours recently and are playing hole in the wall bars. Kind of a bummer too how the band went to pieces aside from the vocalist and Rice on drums.

I couldn't agree more with the guy below. Job for a Cowboy sounds much more death metal than deathcore to me.

They sound like Death Metal (Brutal Death Metal) to me, not Deathcore [2]
