Job For A Cowboy - Genesis


Job For A Cowboy's debut full length studio album that relased in 2007 under Metal Blade Records after their last EP in 2005 entitled : "Doom". This "Genesis" CD was developed as a concept album not just lyrically, but musically as well. The guitars riff with and against each other through wavy polyrhythmic drum patterns that go from balls out blast beats, to jazzy break progressions. Johnny Davys growls pummel you with incredibly well written lyrics telling a story about the rise of the anti-Christ in a post 9/11 world, and you'll also hear some his higher pitched screams from time to time. The sound has evolved from deathcore to straight ahead death metal. Genesis is packed with thundering blast beats and a heaping dose of extremity. Guitarists Ravi Bhadriraju and Bobby Thompson do a good job at creating innovative riffs and play some quick but skillfull solos. Death metal isn't usually a subtle genre, but they manage to insert some subtle guitar harmonies and twists. The band members work as a lean, mean, well-oiled, skull-crushing machine, as they chock every other song full of rocketing tempos, pummeling, rapid-fire blast beats, and excellent, swirling, inventive, smoke-inducing guitar licks. Sometimes, as with "Altered From Catechization," a song will have buzzsaw riffs that are so fast and ferocious that they evoke helicopter blades.

Overall, it was an amazing Death Metal album for sure. A record that would bring you into a non stop crazy head banging activity.
