Arizona death metallers Job for a Cowboy have made their new album Ruination, available to the public as an online stream. The record, which comes out on Metal Blade July 7, can be heard here.
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 frontman 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.”

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.
