Ruination, the highly anticipated new album from Glendale, Arizona extreme metallers JOB FOR A COWBOY, is available for streaming in its entirety on the band’s MySpace page. Due on July 7 via Metal Blade Records, the 10-song follow-up to 2007’s Genesis was tracked and mixed at AudioHammer studios in Sanford, Florida with producer Jason Suecof (THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, DEVILDRIVER, TRIVIUM).

“The ideas involved with the new album branch off from our last record, Genesis, but are more politically based,” states singer Jonny Davy. Topics addressed by the album’s schema revolve around modern-day worldwide dilemmas and controversial issues including “propaganda in the mainstream 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.”

JOB FOR A COWBOY filmed a video for song “Regurgitated Disinformation” on June 6 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In addition to the video shoot, the evening included a full live set from both JOB FOR A COWBOY and a special-guest opening act.

Ruination marks the JOB FOR A COWBOY recording debut of drummer Jon “The Charn” Rice, who has toured with the band since the release of Genesis.

Upon the release of Ruination, JOB FOR A COWBOY will hit the road as one of the featured acts of the 2009 Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival alongside SLAYER, MARILYN MANSON and more. The 27-date North American trek is slated to launch on July 10 in Sacramento, California.
