Here’s what press has been saying about each bands’ new album: GOATWHORE “the band’s tightest, most guitar-driven offering to date. An unholy smorgasbord of rigid tempo shifts, gargantuan hooks, blasting black mass anthems, and Falgoust’s soot and venom snarl...” Decibel Magazine

“Their most varied record to date. Songs sear with an old-school, punk propelled urgency that comes from years of Motörhead, Venom, and Hellhammer worship.” 4/5 Revolver Magazine

“some of the purest metal that 2009 will bear witness to.” Outburn Magazine

“This is the catchiest album Goatwhore have ever released.” MetalSucks.net

“Carving Out The Eyes Of God is one of our top-3 releases of 2009. Hands down.” TheGauntlet.com

“The 10 track could make even the most stubborn Nordic black metal fans squirm, as the stabbing and slashing guitars and Ben Falgoust’s dark sermon growling never have sounded better.” The Daily News McKeesport

“GOATWHORE have gone above expectations this time around...destined to be their version of The Blackening by MACHINE HEAD for their genre as they have perfected their art and this album will turn up in many ‘Best Of’ lists for 2009!” perfect 10/10, SMNnews.com

“Carving Out The Eyes Of God represents GOATWHORE immediately at their most lethal and unconventional and comes with high recommendations.” MetalEater.com

“heavier and even more blasphemous” 3.5/4 skulls, Fangoria.com

“Goatwhore finally captured the power of their live performance on disc...by far the bands best effort to date.” GASPetc.com

BEHEMOTH “stripped-down and explosive” About.com’s #2 album of August 2009

“Behemoth are unstoppable.” DecibelMagazine.com

“their ultimate masterpiece” 4/4 skulls, Fangoria.com

“a true masterpiece” Ultimate-Guitar.com

“They’re just as violent as they’ve ever been, and have become masters of synergy in ways lesser bands will never come close to achieving.” MetalReview.com

“It sounds like it took heartfelt effort instead of simple force and rage alone, but at the same time refraining from treading into overdone, hokey self-consumption. It brings on an almost physical reaction rather than just an aural sensation, and that’s very commendable.” MetalReview.com

“Behemoth produce some of the most technical, intelligent, and turbulent Metal available in today's market...they're firmly cemented among the extreme Metal elite.” Metal-Rules.com

“Intelligently manifested, well-researched works…nine albums into his mission, Nergal’s inner flame is nowhere near extinguished, which can either be a terrifying or tantalizing thought.” The Daily News McKeesport

“If these guys aren't the current kings of extreme metal, I don't know who is.” 10/10, Live-Metal.net

JOB FOR A COWBOY “Ruination mixes tech-death precision with expressionist hardcore rage quite ably, and marks Job For A Cowboy as a band fully deserving their success.” 4/5 stars, Alternative Press Magazine

“Ruination, their sophomore full-length, sees Job For A Cowboy out to silence their detractors with sheer blunt force trauma, every track precisely honed and crushingly heavy in execution.” Outburn Magazine

"JOB FOR A COWBOY just keeps getting better and better.” The Onion

“It’s frightening, dangerous and short, and instead of just throwing sh*t against the studio wall and seeing how it sticks, JFAC are actually art-chitects of a technical and transgressive style of music.” ultimate-guitar.com

“…riffs and pummeling double-bass rhythms combine the intricacy of Decapitated with the raw fury of Darkest Hour.” AltPress.com

“an extremely well written and powerful album of pure Death Metal dominance.” Fangoria.com

“they came out like a 'roid-ragin' cage-fighter with "Ruination"; a far more focused and schooled effort than its predecessor.” Blabbermouth.net

“As with any band, it’s great to be able to blast ahead at breakneck speed, but knowing when to pull it back, find the hole, and fill it with something tasteful is when a band truly learns the art of songwriting and the young lads of JFAC have learned this at an early age.” SMNnews.com

“Ruination is a much more violent effort than Job for a Cowboy's debut.” Live-Metal.net

“with Ruination, Job For A Cowboy’s musical prowess has caught up with the hype.” about.com

“Ruination is 100%, grade-A death metal.” MetalUnderground.com

Charn from Job for a Cowboy here checking in and filling everyone in on what's shaking in the Job for a Cowboy camp these day.  Quite a lot has been happening with us these days, what with touring with Lamb of God, Gwar, and the Red Chord along with a seemingly endless run of bad luck with our transportation, which I will get to later.
   
Anyway, lets start off with a positive note.  We were lucky enough to have all of our family issues resolved by October 26th and came back on tour with our first show being in Buffalo, NY.  Super excited about being there a day early we decided to go to the place where Buffalo Wings supposedly originated a restaurant/bar called the Anchor Bar.  Needless to say the food was delicious, the beer was flowing and the flat screen televisions were aplenty.  After Al, Thomas (our bus driver) and myself ate there when we arrived in buffalo at the bus station we were off to pick up the rest of the fellows at the airport after they had had numerous flight delays and other things setting them back from entering blustery northeastern New York.  With them on the bus we decided to park by the venue and head back down to the Anchor Bar to chow down for one last time that evening.  With the exception of a very drunk man yelling at the Phillies on the television and ranting about the Yankees everything was going swimmingly until an obviously drunk man and his wife entered the bar.  This is when things got awkward.

Our entire group was almost finished with our food when the aforementioned  obvious drunk fellow decides to come over to brent and ask him about his obviously stretched ears (they're stretched to the tune of 2" or something like that.  Ask him if you see his goofy ass at a show because, to be honest, I'm not exactly sure).  Normal conversation, especially for brent, happens with questions being brought up about how large his ears are, how long it took for him to get to that size and if it hurt.  The conversation following the seemingly cordial discussion goes as follows:

Man:  So why would you do that to yourself?
Brent:  Because I worship satan. (note:  He said this with the intent of it being taken sarcastically, not seriously)
Man:   …
Man:  You don't mean that do you.
Brent: No, seriously.  I worship satan. 

After that things slowly started going even further downhill.  Obviously inebriated, the man drops the questions and goes over to his wife to finish his beer and food.  As they were exiting the man started shouting obscenities at brent such as, 'I hope you get AIDS' and 'I hope as you leave you get hit by a car', with the intent of instigating a fight with 7 dudes, which obviously is a horrible idea. He finally exits the building and starts pounding on the windows to coax us into going outside.  We finish up and pay and head outside to find him and his wife standing there waiting for us.  He starts pulling up his sleeves and starts to initiate a fight between us 7 and himself, all while his wife is begging us not to beat the living piss out of her obviously tanked husband.  More awesome conversation goes as such:

Man:  Come on devil man lets do this
All of us:  … 
Jon Eddy (our tour manager):  Do you really want to get your ass kicked by 7 guys right now?  Take your wife and go home asshole.
Man:  I DON'T WANT ALL OF YOU I JUST WANT THE DEVIL MAN.
All of us:   HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Finally his wife convinces him to cut his losses and go home.  As we're walking away the man starts retorting to a previous jab by our Jon Eddy by saying that he's not a prick.  Jon Eddy yells back, quite humorously I might add, "You sure like a small prick on this side of the sidewalk."   With that little debacle over we walked back to bus to play video games and wind down.  Other than Bobby being propositioned by a homeless black man for sexual favors when he left the bus to check the trailer (The guy was walking around the venue the day of the show as well, no doubt trying to coerce anyone without any sense of morality to participate in crude activity) we all slept and awoke rejuvenated and excited to play our first show back.
   
As well as that extremely weird and awesome first day of tour back, there are other stories of our bus breaking down, taking 2 rental cars to our show in Worcester on Halloween and Protest the Hero saving our asses not once but TWICE in canada (HUGE props to PtH.  Especially Tim for driving our asses around) but I'm sure those will be talked about in later blogs.  Its time for us to soundcheck and I'm hungry for dinner.

Chyeah

We just got back into the states after a few days up in Canada that were INSANE. Our bus broke down leaving us pretty much stranded on the side of the road with no hope of getting to the shows in Toronto and Montreal. Shit outta luck our Tour Manager called the guys in Protest the Hero who came and picked us up and took us and our trailer to the shows. Fuck yeah Protest the Hero, thanks for the rescue! We are stoked to be back in the states for a little bit and especially stoked to be heading towards Texas where the weather is warm and the beers and BBQ are never-ending. See you on the road!
