It's hard to imagine that Job For A Cowboy started as the deathcore band that birthed the infamous "preheat pizza roles" meme with "Entombment of a Machine" and a classic Spongebob Mashup with "Knee Deep." The band's progression out of the 2005 Doom era has been marked by a clear desire to disprove the naysayers who derided them as trendy MySpace kids. As Jonny Davy became the only founding member, Job For A Cowboy successfully transitioned into a staple of modern death metal. But as their previous album Sun Eater suggests, they still had more to express. Now on Moon Healer, Job For A Cowboy completes their progressive vision. This album is full-on death metal for nerds, and it's hard to deny how solid it is.

Suffice it to say that Job For A Cowboy's latest release is prog-death metal, not tech-death. As an opening statement of intent, the opening track "Beyond The Chemical Doorway" comes through with complex grooves and atmospheric chord progressions to match Tony Sannicandro's dazzling guitar solos and Nick Schendzielos's acrobatic bass lines. There's still room for blast beats, sweep picking, and breakdowns, but it's clear that Job For A Cowboy wants to do more than shred. This desire to push themselves as arrangers pays dividends throughout the album.
