Fast-rising extreme metal unit JOB FOR A COWBOY are set to unveil their long-awaited debut album, entitled "GENESIS". The hotly-anticipated release, which has been referred to "the most anticipated debut release from a metal band in years", will drop in North America this coming Tuesday, May 15 via Metal Blade Records. The album will see a May 18 release in Germany, Austria and Sweden and a European street date of May 21.
JOB FOR A COWBOY (JFAC) blend stunning musicianship and cutting edge song craft to create the absolute embodiment of modern day extreme music. The Glendale, AZ band, known for their intense songs, explosive live performances and forward thinking vision, recorded "GENESIS" at Blue Light Audio Media in Phoenix, AZ with producer Cory Spotts. The album was mixed by the Grammy winning Andy Sneap (OPETH, ENTOMBED, MEGADETH). Anticipation for "GENESIS" is such that the band has already been named one of "Metal's Most Important Troops for 2007" by Metal Hammer, one of Total Guitar's "Hottest Guitar Bands of 2007", one of Alternative Press' 2007 "Bands You Need to Know" and one of Revolver's "Breakthrough Bands that will be Kicking Your Ass this Year".
The first music video from "GENESIS" -- for the album's roll out track "Embedded" -- made its world network premiere this past Saturday as part of MTV2's long-running "Headbangers Ball" program. The eye-opening "Embedded" video was directed by Popcore and provides the perfect visual accompaniment to the band's advanced aural assault. In alignment with the quasi-conceptual theme(s) of "GENESIS", the impelling "Embedded" clip details the events surrounding the 'Verichip', a RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) implant that some say is close to turning from eerie idea, to full-blown reality.
"The video follows the story of a mother giving birth to a child -- the Antichrist -- and then trails the child through his corrupt and demonic existence," JOB FOR A COWBOY front man Jonny Davy explains. "It timelines his life from the moment of birth all the way to his ruling position as a powerful leader controlling a corrupt government and world public, all created from his own efforts with 'the mark of the beast', a device implanted beneath the flesh for use as "identification". The story relates the accounts of a Book of Revelations prophecy fulfilled."
Davy continues, "Working with Popcore was a great experience. We have quite a large vision behind "Genesis" and that concept definitely comes into the clear with the video. They (Popcore) nailed everything right on the head."
