This album is proof that you can be techy and tasteful in death metal without being another 300bpm band! Brilliantly thought out, and masterfully executed! Job have just released their magnum opus! 🤘🤘🤘

[@unclebobboomergames]

I dont mind the general tech vibe but i do prefer the jazzier line of tech. More reminiscent of the early tech death like atheist and cynic. Less like necrophagist. And no diss to necro. Just most bands took that tech approach

It’s crazy being from Arizona and knowing these guys as the band that went to the high school nearby. Going from Doom to now a band I can truly respect and be proud of saying I’m a fan. Sunspeaker and Moon Healer are literally on par with Death or Necrophagist. Seriously top notch proggy death metal.

I only ever knew these guys for the pig squeal stuff from their earlier days. I avoided the band thinking they were as one dimensional as the kids who enjoyed that aspect of the music. Man I'm glad I was wrong. This album has incredible depth. Technical without being mathematic or compulsively so..heavy as you like but without feeling corny or forced. Full of grooves without being plagued by constant breakdowns. I'm glad I can appreciate this now.

[@David-rj1ru]

[@lupuslogos2018]

Check out their last album Sun Eater; it was when they shifted sounds. They also enlisted Danny Walker to write and perform drums on the record. He's the original drummer for Intronaut and one of the most creative the world's ever seen!

[@DarthWinterMadness]

​@@lupuslogos2018 That's interesting to know. For some reason I relegated this band as another boring Deathcore band. My memory of some band I checked 15 years ago. Same thing with The Black Dahlia Murder until I heard Brandon Ellis' playing. Then I went through the whole back catalogue and wow... I missed out on so much. I checked Sun Eater after realizing they weren't another Core band and listening to this one. Both albums are fantastic! Intronaut is also really good. I discovered them through Alex Rudinger and his incredible playthroughs. This guy is a machine. Cheers from France! 🍻

[@theunaphotobomber]

The Agony Seeping Storm is still my personal fave but The Sun Gave Me Ashes fucking blew my balls off on first listen. Not a single skip-worthy track tho. This album is straight gas through and through.

I'd have to disagree. Genesis was deathcore, and a little experimentation. Ruination was where they changed it up quite a bit.

They were both really popular back in their day but also weirdly hated by many elitists for their core beginnings. Didnt matter what they did. Their scores on the metal archives are whack. Which its the archive. You always gotta take it with a grain of salt. But still. Even at jfacs worst they were never putting out schlock. Demonocracy is the highest rated album at 72 percent. Thats wild.

Was winding down for bed until I saw Job for a Cowboy released a new album. Sick. Sun Eater is still burned into my mind (I CAN... NARROWLY> OVERHEEEAAARR) I have massive love for their "new" era. Felt like I had to elaborate because I've known so many people who only enjoy their first album, but it doesn't matter. This goes Absolutely Massive. Halfway in and I know what I'll be listening to on my drives to/from school & work all week. How is it sinister yet so playful? So existential and omnipresent yet rife with dread? Mathematical and tight-fisted, yet psychedelic with wavy grooves. I just love you guys. There is purpose in your technicality. It's not absurd, It's trippy. \m/
