Job for a Cowboy - Ruination
I've been told that a lot of people hate Job for a Cowboy. Hearing this information blows my mind. How can a heavy metal fan not like this band? They are redefining the genre.
Their second full length, "Ruination" is the soundtrack to the apocalypse. I hate to use a cliche word to describe this band, but it is fucking brutal. Vocalist Johnny Davy expands his range sounding like two different people. The drums sound like the blasting of dynamite, which are extremely important on this record.
On the standout track "Constitutional Masturbation", Davy screams:
"Sexually abusive torture
Is diminished to mere wretched amusement
Ordered to fragment the sanity
Of prisoners of an artificial war
Amidst a country of dystopia
With this power he banishes his followers
And sentences them
To his own personal sins
He masturbates on the scriptures
That hold his kingdom together
As one and lays it to shame."
Maybe people on the death metal message boards trash this band because they like to please their audience.
