JOB FOR A COWBOY SKYROCKETS TO #42 ON BILLBOARD CHART WITH NEW ALBUM “RUINATION”
Award-winning Glendale, AZ heavy music powerhouse JOB FOR A COWBOY lands at #42 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart this week with its sophomore album, Ruination. The record dropped on July 7 in North American via Metal Blade Records and shifted nearly 11,000 units in just its first week of release.
Additionally, Ruination debuted at #4 on Billboard’s Top Independent Albums Chart and at #7 on Billboard’s Hard Music Albums Chart. The album also debuted at #50 on Canada’s Nielsen SoundScan Charts, #5 on its Independent Albums Chart and at #8 on the Canadian Hard Music Albums Chart. The follow up to JOB FOR A COWBOY's 2007 debut, Genesis (the highest charting metal debut to crack Billboard's Top 200 since Slipknot's 1999 self-titled album), Ruination has met to scads of critical acclaim in the weeks leading up to its release. The album’s first week charting position represents one of the highest Billboard debuts ever for a band representing the “death metal” subgenre.
JOB FOR A COWBOY’s Ruination is a concentrated hotbed of astounding dexterity, scorching attack, sleek arrangement and thundering musical muscle. Infectious riffs, keen dynamics and the assertive vocals of rising star front man Jonny Davy combine to produce an album that is at once powerful, expressive, confident and commanding. The album features ten tracks of state-of-the-art heavy metal music. The New York Times referred to JOB FOR A COWBOY’s sound as “brute-force”, a commendatory claim that Ruination unquestionably validates.
JOB FOR A COWBOY is currently touring North America with Slayer as part of the 2009 “ROCKSTAR Energy Mayhem Festival”. The 27-date North American march is slated to run through August 15 in Dallas, TX. In the two years since the release of the band’s full length debut, JOB FOR A COWBOY (JFAC) has progressed from “the band with the different name” to one of the leading lights for heavy music in the 21st century. The quintet has toured the world to out-and-out acclaim, highlighted by main stage appearances at distinguished music jubilees such as the UK’s Download Festival and Germany’s Wacken Open Air.

JOB FOR A COWBOY: ENTIRE NEW ALBUM ‘RUINATION’ NOW STREAMING ONLINE
Award-winning Glendale, AZ heavy music powerhouse JOB FOR A COWBOY (JFAC) has completed work on its hotly-anticipated sophomore album, entitled Ruination. The record will see a July 7, 2009 North American release date via Metal Blade Records.
Advance praise for Ruination is such that Alternative Press states that the album “marks Job For A Cowboy as a band fully deserving of their success”, while Decibel proclaims that “they do death metal quite well.” Music fans can check out Ruination for themselves in advance of the record’s release as the album is available for online streaming its entirety today at this location.
Additionally, Ruination’s cover art and full color booklet have also been made available for viewing at this location. The striking, quasi-conceptual motif was designed by Brent Elliott White and takes its inspiration from JOB FOR A COWBOY front man Jonny Davy’s album lyrics and concepts. Topics addressed by the album’s schema revolve around modern day worldwide dilemmas and controversial issues including “Propaganda in the main stream media and television, humanitarian rights of Northern Korea, the modern genocidal government of Nubia, the use of torture in American military tactics, overruling by world governments and Police states / Martial law”.
JOB FOR A COWBOY’s Ruination is available for pre-order now. A special JFAC “pre-order contest” has just been announced whereby fans can win tickets to see the band on tour with Slayer this summer as part of the “ROCKSTAR Energy Mayhem Festival”.

JOB FOR A COWBOY: ‘RUINATION’ COVER ART, ALBUM DETAILS REVEALED
Award-winning Glendale, AZ heavy music powerhouse JOB FOR A COWBOY has completed work on its hotly-anticipated sophomore album, entitled Ruination. The record will see a July 7, 2009 North American release date via Metal Blade Records.
The cover artwork for Ruination has been unveiled and is available for viewing now at this location. The striking, quasi-conceptual piece was designed by Brent Elliott White and takes its inspiration from JOB FOR A COWBOY front man Jonny Davy’s album lyrics and concepts.
“The ideas involved with the new album branch off from our last record, ‘Genesis’ but are more politically based,” states Davy. Topics addressed by the album’s schema revolve around modern day worldwide dilemmas and controversial issues including “Propaganda in the main stream media and television, humanitarian rights of Northern Korea, the modern genocidal government of Nubia, the use of torture in American military tactics, overruling by world governments and Police states / Martial law”.
JOB FOR A COWBOY will shoot its first music video from Ruination – for the new song "Regurgitated Disinformation" -- on Saturday, June 6 in Philadelphia, PA and is inviting fans to attend and be a part of the event. Presented by R5 Productions & 94 WYSP/Rockers, the JFAC shoot will take place in Philly’s First Unitarian Church beginning at 8:00 PM EDT. Downloadable vouchers for the video shoot / live performance will cost just .94 cents and are available at this location. In addition to the video shoot, the evening will include a full live set from both JOB FOR A COWBOY and a “special guest” opening act.
The event voucher will be exchanged for an “admission wristband” on the day of the show. Wristbands will be issued on a first come, first serve basis starting at 12 PM (noon) on June 6 at the main entrance of The First Unitarian Church and will only be available to those who purchased the voucher in advance. The wristband will guarantee admission to the show that evening as well as both a special meet and greet with JFAC and a limited edition poster that includes a promo code to download a special digital Metal Blade sampler featuring new music from Job for a Cowboy, Cannibal Corpse, Behemoth and more. Fans who arrive too late to receive wristbands will still be able to partake in the meet and greet and receive the poster with digital sampler promo code. Full details on the event can be found at this location.
The follow up to the quintet’s celebrated debut album Genesis, Ruination was recorded at Audio Hammer Productions in Sanford, FL with Producer Jason Suecof. The album features ten tracks of state-of-the-art heavy metal music and marks the JOB FOR A COWBOY recording debuts of drumming prodigy Jon “The Charn” Rice, who has toured with the band since the release of Genesis and guitarist Al Glassman. Upon the release of Ruination, JOB FOR A COWBOY will hit the road as one of the featured acts of the 2009 “ROCKSTAR Energy Mayhem Festival” alongside Slayer, Marilyn Manson and more. The 27-date North American march is slated to launch on July 10 in Sacramento, CA.
In the two short years since the release of the band’s full length debut, JOB FOR A COWBOY (JFAC) has progressed from “the band with the different name” to one of the leading lights for heavy music in the 21st century. The quintet has toured the world to out-and-out acclaim, highlighted by main stage appearances at distinguished music jubilees such as the UK’s Download Festival and Germany’s Wacken Open Air. JFAC delivered scintillating live performances as handpicked support to metal titans Megadeth (on both its North American and UK "Gigantour" treks) and co-headlined the highly successful "Radio Rebellion" tour with Polish metal champions Behemoth.
In addition to Davy, Rice and Glassman, JOB FOR A COWBOY features guitarist Bobby Thompson and bassist Brent Riggs.

HIGH-POWERED METAL BAND JOB FOR A COWBOY COMPLETES WORK ON NEW ALBUM; ANNOUNCES PARTICIPATION AS PART OF 2009 ROCKSTAR ENERGY MAYHEM FESTIVAL
Award-winning Glendale, AZ heavy music powerhouse JOB FOR A COWBOY has completed work on its hotly-anticipated sophomore album, entitled Ruination. The record will see a July, 2009 worldwide release date via Metal Blade Records.
The follow up to the quintet’s celebrated debut album Genesis, Ruination was recorded at Audio Hammer Productions in Sanford, FL with Producer Jason Suecof (The Black Dahlia Murder) and will be mixed by acclaimed audio authority Fredrik Nordstrom (At The Gates, Opeth). Ruination marks the JOB FOR A COWBOY recording debut of drumming prodigy Jon “The Charn” Rice, who has toured with the band since the release of Genesis and features ten tracks of state-of-the-art heavy metal music.
Ruination sees JOB FOR A COWBOY advance by leaps and bounds; the record is a concentrated hotbed of astounding dexterity, scorching attack, sleek arrangement and thundering musical muscle. Infectious riffs, keen dynamics and the assertive vocals of rising star front man Jonny Davy combine to produce an album that is at once powerful, expressive, confident and commanding. The New York Times referred to JOB FOR A COWBOY’s sound as “brute-force”, a commendatory claim that Ruination unquestionably validates.
On the topic of the new album, JOB FOR A COWBOY front man Jonny Davy states, “Job For A Cowboy has toured the world and faced a ton of challenges over the course of the last year and a half. All of the hard work that we’ve put in and everything that we’ve experienced is directly reflected in our new songs, which we know are our best yet. Stay tuned.”
Upon the release of Ruination, JOB FOR A COWBOY will hit the road as one of the featured acts of the 2009 “ROCKSTAR Energy Mayhem Festival” alongside Slayer, Marilyn Manson and more. The 27-date North American march is slated to launch on July 10 in Sacramento, CA.

JFAC delivered scintillating live performances as handpicked support to metal titans Megadeth (on both its North American and UK "Gigantour" treks) and co-headlined the highly successful "Radio Rebellion" tour with Polish metal champions Behemoth.
Referred to as "the most anticipated debut release from a metal band in years", and released in North America on May 18, 2007, JFAC’s Genesis landed at # 54 on Billboard's Top 200 chart in its first week of release; becoming at that time the highest charting metal debut to crack the Billboard register since Slipknot's 1999 self-titled album. The band would go on to earn a landslide of top media accolades including being named one of Alternative Press' "Bands You Need to Know", "Best Underground Band" at the Metal Hammer "Golden Gods Awards", one of Revolver's "Breakthrough Bands that will be Kicking Your Ass this Year" and one of Total Guitar's "Hottest Guitar Bands".
In addition to Davy and Rice, JOB FOR A COWBOY features guitarists Bobby Thompson and Al Glassman and bassist Brent Riggs.
