Job For A Cowboy's Doom EP was definitely a milestone for Deathcore as a genre. They were pioneers of Modern Deathcore by the use of pig squealing and the insane breakdowns. Even though they became a Death Metal band, I respect them for the impact they had and understood why they went in a more Death Metal direction.

[@xtheyan]

I feel exactly the same way 🤘🏻

[@AT-mv2mr]

While they had a *LARGE* significance in Deathcore.. Despised Icon were the _actual_ pioneers. The Healing Process kicked off everything

[@legionseraphs4070]

I cannot be clear enough on how awesome and important these videos are to the KZbin Metal community. This is the first channel I’ve found that talks on this level consistently about Deathcore. Anyone can say whatever they want about the genre, but it brought a huge wave of metal and hardcore fans into the scene and gave it new life whether the older folks liked it or not. Being 30 years old now and watching break down the golden years of high school is amazing. 🖤

[@xtheyan]

Such a beautiful comment ! That’s exactly why I’m doing all of this. Here I am, 31 years old , still wearing skinny jeans and recording heavy breakdowns , I owe it all to the amazing MySpace Deathcore Era , and all those amazing talented bands… they deserve the credit for what they accomplished and I want to tell their story in the best way possible 🤘🏻🔥

[@crowdkillproductions.]

I completly agree. I'm 41 and remember when deathcore started getting bigger. It was huge for metal in general. It literally changed how i thought of what "heavy" could be and to this day it keeps pushing boundries.

[@lou_gubrious]

facts

[@codybachman381]

This era of deathcore was groundbreaking.Them, Elysia, Rose Funeral, Salt the Wound to name a few. So fucking good.

[@codybachman381]

I also remember prior to releasing Depths, Oceano had 3 songs on Myspace. The first time I heard the intro to Samael, the Destroyer... Holy fuck haha

[@BlackMartialArtsSociety]

Johnny Davy is one of the best vocalist and performers I got to interview in 2007 at the knitting factory

[@FerretChloride]

Growing up in Glendale, Arizona from 2005-2009 the metal scene was just unreal. JFAC had huge influence on many of the local bands here at the time, including mine. Great times.

[@xtheyan]

That's rad man ! Such a great Era 🤘🏻🔥

[@shaneeroh2213]

I've lived in Arizona my whole life and was never able to see them live 😢

[@tylerjensen8126]

So true, I was in high school in cave creek from 06-10. I remember so many local bands trying to capture lightning in a bottle like JFAC did with doom, it made for such an amazing experience, I wouldn't trade it for anything. I went to high school with a couple of guys from in the eyes of despair and last minute massacre,it was always fun to nerd out with them about deathcore.

[@SeanIn60Secs]

I was a youngin at those shows, some of the best times of my life! 🔥

[@EarthsEdgeAD]

Yeah man, those are prime damn years for this kind of music. People that came after 2009 Just literally have not a damn clue what it was like back then.

[@Sawtoothrangelivin]

God I still remember hearing them in like 2005, 7th grade was never the same haha

[@xtheyan]

hahah yes it truly had a major impact

[@blackfish1710]

You and me both

[@LuciferMorningstar-zu1ud]

JOB FOR A COWBOY will forever be one of my all time faves! Their EP was revolutionary for sure

[@regdenee]

The band that introduced me to Deathcore! Knee Deep is one hell of a track to introduce someone to the genre!

[@xtheyan]

Yes such a great song 🤘🏻🔥

[@nitrocatofficial6939]

Entombment of a Machine was the first song I heard from Metal. I just started High School and this friend I just made, discovered metal at the same time, so we would always run up excited to show or introduce each other to the newest song. The best times.

[@dazenzi7593]

Same here hahah

[@blooddumpster3427]

Was it Spongebob singing it at the amphitheater?

[@xluciferlux]

One of my fav bands! Kings of Deathcore 🤘🏾

[@xtheyan]

They're legends

[@WizardZazaOfficial]

This was actually my first experience with metal, like ever. I was 7, it was like 2014. My cousins loved bands like Suicide Silence, Carnifex, Emmure, and one day I come over there and I see the album downloaded on my cousins Ipod, and I ask him what it is. He then said "Oh, that's job for a cowboy. It's deathcore" I put on the first track that popped up, relinquished. I was never the same again.

[@mikeymclachlan9506]

Absolutely loving the throwback nostalgia to high school. I would walk the halls blasting the Doom EP for months staright

[@xtheyan]

Thanks ! Yes I think Nostalgia is a big part of my content haha

I still listen to the Doom EP and their Genesis album to this day, almost every day in fact.

[@xtheyan]

That's awesome man 🤘🏻🔥

[@theangelbelow88]

Ruination and down are still awesome works. Also Knee Deep will always have a special place in my heart, since it was the first deathcore song I ever heard and shout-out to the guy that did the SpongeBob music video for it back in the day 🖤 Edit: also, I'm going to a Knights Of The Abyss show tomorrow and you bet your ass I'm going to wear my Job For A Cowboy shirt 😎

[@xtheyan]

That's awesome !! And thanks for sharing your story 🤘🏻

[@fliproleluwu5602]

A video of Fit For An Autopsy? imo the best deathcore band right now, is just perfect without the need of crazy vocals or just 0's, just well made songs using perfectly what they have

[@xtheyan]

They’re on my list 🤘🏻🔥

[@BeatsFromTheBong]

Nate Johnson was their original vocalist and that was my favourite era of theirs !

[@grantfullick]

​@spencer6709 wouldn't say no to a Through the eyes of the dead video too, insanely good for their time!

[@shaneeroh2213]

FFAA is easily one of the most consistently improving bands that has been around a while

[@DustyEchozy]

As a guy who is a JFAC fan, I am glad to see people still didn't forget about them. And I am glad that someone FINALLY talked about the Entombment of a Machine MV, it's my most FAVOURITE MV of all time imo I also think that it's the best mv ever made. The whole 4:3 aspect ratio, the bad 140p quality and the fast paced editing gave that mundane-y video a massive adrenaline rush. Although I personally think that there alot of videos (whether music videos, yt videos or whatever) that tries to copy the editing style of that video but just fails miserably, I like to call those types of videos "Entombment of a Machine Camera" or "EOAMC" for short. BTW one more thing about when this video was originally posted on KZbin, I actually was one of those few people who saw it when it was officially released on KZbin, it was uploaded in 2008 (or somewhere around that era, can't remember the month and date) by a user named Rodrigo Ranval (not sure if he was involved with that video) but one day that video would completely be deleted. I have no idea why but that's what would happen.

[@xtheyan]

Thanks for the infos ! And I'm glad you enjoyed the video 🤘🏻

[@saprious5273]

Entombment got me into the genre. Plain and simple, its the best deathcore song of all time.

[@KiidSaturn]

Omg this was amazing and so nostalgic. The first time I heard entombment of a machine I replayed it 100000xs to learn how to do vocals.

[@blackcatfancy]

Man your videos bring me back to that time. Thanks for doing what you do, it means so much to people who grew up with this stuff.

[@TravisPastramee]

Great video! Thanks for bringing some more recognition to a band that truly deserves it. You covered a lot of my high school concert experiences as an Arizona native. I have nothing but respect for JFAC going their own way after the deathcore era. The albums since Entombment of a Machine have slayed, and they seemed to follow their own musical integrity. They are like the complete opposite of a sellout band.

[@xtheyan]

Glad you enjoyed it! 🤘🏻🔥 Thanks for the support

[@Skagb0y]

can confirm. born in '92 & was in lots of deathcore bands in my teens & you were considered a joke by elitists. i heard the word "gay" a lot even with my arms around a blonde bombshell scene queen lmao

From my hometown Phx, AZ. Kudos to Andrew (guitarist) who wrote Doom. Also, their first name was Shadows are Statues until Johnny joined. My best friend Caroline dated Johnny and I always got first hand shlt of what was going on.

[@ghost_to_a_ghost]

I've never been a huge deathcore fan, i had a short Suicide Silence phase (RIP Mitch) and also been a bit into the early days of BMTH, but still, i love scene culture and through these type of videos i can learn about the scene years (I never lived those years cause i was born in 2004). Keep the hard work, bro

[@xtheyan]

Hey thanks man, I'm glad you enjoyed !

[@ScottBrunelleMusic]

Oh yeah man. Doom ruled my world and to this day Genesis is one of the best DM albums. Sadly overlooked by "real DM" fans even though it's a flawless listen that sounds amazing and came right before everything started to get edited. Huge gem.

[@perseo5059]

I truly appreciate your channel my dude, feel like I’m talking with good friends about the good ol’ days, keep it up!

[@xtheyan]

Thank you so much ! That's the feeling I was hoping to give

[@anti54321]

All I was listening to at the time was Suicide Notes and Butterfly kisses along with The Curse, both by Atreyu. I have no memory on where I got Doom, Miasma by TBDM, Undoing Ruin by Darkest hour... my life changed at that point. Found Waking the Cadaver soon after, shiiiiit dude, I haven't thought about it as much though thanks for the trip back to high school.

[@xtheyan]

Awesome, then it might interest you to know that Waking The Cadaver is on my video list to do🤘🏻🔥

[@theempirestruckbackwithaswitch]

i LOVED JFAC's myspace era but i'm gonna be honest, they belonged in death metal. Once i heard genesis i said okay, i get it now. And i started listening to death metal all over again😂 it's kinda funny cause death metal is getting a resurgence (mainly 90s NY) and it's full circle for the second time. anyways love JFAC every album is gold

[@Hachiko814]

Discovered them in 2006 while in school chillen with my buddies... Ever since then, they have been my favorite band and I have progressed into a fan of Death Metal alongside their progression.

[@LilComedown]

It's already become a routine for me to save your videos till nighttime and having a smoke and eating dinner while I watch 😁 cheers man I agree about the raw sound from back then I feel like if you were to take these deathcore EPs from back then and re-record them now, even if it would be objectively "better" it would lose a little bit of what made it special. I even have realized that with my own stuff

[@xtheyan]

That's so cool that I'm part of your routine , thanks a lot

[@Outward777]

For me, Doom, The Healing Process By Despised Icon, and Elysia is what got me into deathcore and pig squeals. Good times 🥲

[@supersonicfilms7665]

I really hope you continue to make videos for a long time. The MySpace era of deathcore and metalcore was by far one of the best and most innovative times for the genres. So many great bands popped up and I'm happy to see someone with the same love for those bands. Would love for you to do a video on As Blood Runs Black and the whole scene of bands that signed to Mediaskare like A Breath Before Surfacing or Blind Witness.

This is what I tell everyone. I remember being a middle school and experiencing that shift in metal i had never heard nothing like them before. Them despised icon animosity the red chord as blood runs black that was real deathcore to me.

Shout out Whitechapel tho everything from the valley till now has been phenomenal

I been to hundreds of concerts in my 50 yrs and being a musician myself the band's aren't the problem it's the critics and pigeon holers that want to separate music and art.

So cool you brought up Job For A Cowboy. I have a bit of what i feel is a cool story. I was a personal trainer at 24-hour Fitness on Camelback and 32nd I see this dude with gnarly gages and his friend that was very quiet. I said you guys into H.C. they simply said absolutely. Im going to leave one name out because this is true and i do not want ruin any of the postives of this band by what could be takin wrong by others who possibly might not have compassion or never experiencing true genuine addiction.. I handed them my I pod and asked you like any of these bands. Ironically i was listening to Job For A Cowboy. Jonny looks at his buddy and they said you know this band. I said yes. They said do you know us. I saud no. I truly didnt. It was Jonny and another band member. I felt pretty stupid honestly but anyways they asked if i could train them. I saud no doubt just come in when im off work and dont say im your trainer. Johnny really took it seriously and he put some size on. I was always felt proud to see the gains or goals he was making or any of my clients for that matter. I would always get free tickets and Johnny right before they went on stage would get his pump going before he went on stage. Sadly the other band member fell victim to addiction. Im not saying what kind of addiction, maybe it was video game addiction. J.F.A.C. or Johhny worked very hard to keeo that band going. It you notice every album has a different talented guitar player and even drummer, i think ? Well, they tried working with him, but he jacked most of their band equipment in storage and sold it. Hes not a bad dude its just addiction can take away postive descions because of impulse. He was obviously not with J.F.A.C. anymore. Anyways they are and always will be a great band. I lost contact with them but i sincerely wish them all nothing but kind words for them. Oh and Johnny hated squeals thats why he stopped them. I loved them. His band mate said dont bring up squeals to him i saud why ? That was what his band mate saud but not Johhny. I never brought up squeals and respected him by not asking Johhny

I was 15 when I discovered the Doom EP. I wasn't really into Deathcore at this time ( i liked the heaviness, but I missed cleverly written songs in the Genre. Which, to me, should come a few years later with bands like Carnifex around 2010). But man, I loved this EP. The songs had such a good flow, kinda reminding me of Morbid Angel in a strange way.

I don't really dabble in much Deathcore anymore, mostly listen to Metalcore/Tech Death/Melodic Death Metal/Prog Metal (just as examples but listen to a lot of stuff lol) but I have been giving Infant Annihilator a listen just love how chaotic and melodic the music is but it also just makes sense, also laugh at the lyrics Dickie Allen comes up with.

I remember being like 14 and people hating on deathcore so much I started trying to be like the older dudes and gained this shitty elitist mentality that I liked death metal so much more even though I didn't understand how anyone could like it better than deathcore. Glad it's being appreciated.

Hm, years ago, this brought me good memories :D I also remember another band that i got on a CD with them from some random dude, it was As Blood Runs black if my memory still serves me. The cowboys blew me, and I was then the ''outsider'' because no-one understood there is something heavier then Dimmu Borgir :D Good ol' times :D

JFAC had those slam moments, and at the time I had no idea what the sound even was.
