This album shows how damn important bass is. I'm the lead guitarist in my band and I made our producer turn the bass up higher in our final mix than he wanted to originally. It makes everything else sound soooo much better. Good job JFAC :)
@@prpwnage9296 Which just would kinda prove his point. Although I can hardly agree in just summarizing any performance as shit. Maybe you havent't found your style. I spent a lot of time playing in bands I couldn't perform right and it's mostly about being content and feeling the urge to practise.
To those of you who think that Johnny is draggin this band down: His vocals are probably some of the most unique I've heard. You could probably name a ton of bands and they all have similar vocals but when you say Job for a cowboy, you instantly know what they sound like.
Seriously. He has some of the rawest vocals I've heard in a long time. The power alone in his lows sound absolutely demonic even by death metal standerds.
I like the vocals but I disagree with your statement. It could possibly be because I haven't listened to much more than a few songs from these guys, and since I'm not used to his voice, it sounds similar to other bands of the same genre. The same effect as someone who hardly listens to metal thinks it's all screaming and the same. That being said I will definitely be getting their new album when it's released.
Indeed. Johnny sounds straight up fucking evil. To be able to go from his guttural lows to the highs he does within one vocal line is remarkable. Not an easy thing to do. He's got several levels of voices and that is soooo much better than the guys that have one sound to their voice and that's it. I don't really see what people are bitching about, but hey, opinions vary, and that's cool. Can't wait to hear this whole album.
how ccould anyone say that those vocals are bad? they are absolutely out of this world, i get goosebumps everytime i hear this man. hes sound is pure evil
This is a very sophisticated and tasteful sound. As someone who enjoyed deathcore in middle school but now mostly listens to jazz/classical, I really appreciate the musicality here
i first heard them in 2007 and forgot about them, and now in 2024 i've re discovered them, and this time there's killer bass! as a bassist myself this is a mega inspiration. The new album is sick too. But I've listened to this song on repeat now the past few months. unreal!
The best bassline ever written, in one of the best songs ever written, off one of the greatest albums ever made, by one of the greatest bands to ever grace the world of music. 🤘 You guys are fucking LEGENDS.
I like the whale song bass the best by modest mouse, still haven't found a better bass line, but yea this is sick, archspire has mind blowing bass lines too
@@charlestietje7317 lol which new song? Agony Seeping Storm or the brandass new one they dropped a few hours ago (or both)? Literally listening to the new track for the first time as I type this, haha.

I love that you can hear the Ryan martinie influence in Nick's bass playing it's like a darker more death metal version of ld50 era mudvayne. Nick is just an absolute beast
Hands down my favorite song to hear someone play on the bass. Shit is so groovy and heavy and yet beautiful and emotional all at once. I remember the day this dropped and was so entranced I left it playing on repeat for days
Was never a fan of the band before this, but it's wild that they straight-up released the best album of their career and then just vanished. Will never forget how much this song captured me when it was first released.
Still one of the best music Job For a Cowboy made, and probably one of the biggest metal music ever made but unknown to public. Pretty sure the 1M views are the same 10k people spamming this music in loop
This song and the band are so underrated AF. They should headline some festival or record a live session of this song because it has such a complex riff. Can't wait for their comeback.
I've loved this band since their first album. I remember it being huge all throughout school, being in Arizona, and me thinking their name was weak but I gave them a listen and enjoyed it. They've changed so much but I still think they are on top. They're in my list of favorites after all these years.
Geez has Gorguts Rubbed ooff on everyone? Well this is still awesome. Today's metal is the best its ever been. People who disagree need to loosen there hard-core pants or get off the old school metal hype train. \m/
I must be one of the few guys that, having heard gorguts live, just isn't into them that much. So now I'm hoping that JFAC hasn't fully gone for that sound.
I agree with your statement, but there are a few others who actually do it better than gorguts. I still like old school when there wasn't an arpeggio in every lead.
I agree with your statement, but there are a few others who actually do it better than gorguts. I still like old school when there wasn't an arpeggio in every lead.
I see what you're saying, and i agree to a certain degree. But also,the amount off crappy metal that is released is higher then it's ever been. Plus, all of my own favourite bands have already had their golden days.
Its amazing how much these guys have progressed every album gets more technical but keeps that same JFAC sound. Like genesis was heavy but pretty simplistic ruination got more complex now suneater is this prog like masterpiece, I have always liked Jfac regardless of the hate but this one holds a special spot in my heart.
I'll never understand this albums failed reception. It'd a lot more complicated then their other stuff but it's really the pinnacle of what they are capable of and it's amazing.
@@johnjohnson1997 can't remember the channel, but I remember this guy's theory. He claims that because they were a deathcore band at first it turned off death metal fans and then when they went to straight death metal it turned off the deathcore fans.
I have no idea why people are complaining about Jonny Davy's vocals , if you ask me he's killing it in this record . He's the reason why i fell in love with this band but that's just my opinion .
Really happy with the direction these guys are going. They have evolved considerably since their days as a deathcore band. Looking forward to hearing the full album!
Every album they get better. It's been great listening to them progress over the course of four releases. The new members and confidence on the last two albums has really catapulted the band as well.
i followed this band since doom and I know how smart they are but damn when i listened to this song I MELTED! they deserve to be famous. I cant wait for the next album.
Any elitist I talk to who still groups this band in deathcore after years of not being deathcore and only a little bit of music as deathcore will be directed to this song as it is without a doubt death metal.
***** says the rush fan. I get that you like Prog, and probably have a distaste for harsh vocals, but that doesn't mean you have to go about spewing negativity.
any 1 who still groups music in to sub catagorys is a littel silly its music like it or hate it whats the point of fighting over what type of style it is
Implying I don't like harsh vocals. I am actually a huge fan of death metal, I just find JFAC to be boring, and I feel you are implying that Rush is boring, please explain how?
I have to say, on the past few records, this band has been steadily increasing in musicianship and songwriting, and it's cool to see. I love the dynamic beginning that's reminiscent of Intronaut and how the solo has a moody post-apocalyptic feel to it; the bass being higher in the mix is a nice touch as well!
Oh man, this is fucking great! Nick's basslines with Danny Walker's drums make the guitarwork sound childish in comparison... and that's still a compliment. Didn't think I'd be able to get hyped about JFAC again but here we are!
Are you kidding? I mean the bass and drums are great, but listen to those subtle, but, at the same time, pounding riffs, beautiful solo, and amazing bridges. I love every thing here.
BignattyBrubz hue i try to hear the solo, but it's like it just warps my mind into some kid of vortex in outer space. i start to hear it, then next thing i know it's over and i've aged 2 years. too good
I first learned about job for a cowboy when I was twelve Wich is when i first started working on my guitar skills. This is literally my favorite band STILL after 12 yrs. because it isn't only the guitar I like. It's the message we see in different ways through our own inchoherent reflections
Job For A Cowboy when making this album: *wakes up one morning* "alright, let's actually write some good sounding shit". After hearing the two songs they out up I pre-ordered this with the shirt bundle. This change was for the better, looking forward for the whole album.
THANK YOU FOR TURNING UP THE BASS
Damn straight!
Bass on their last album was sick as hell though. That Nick guy slappa da bass real nice like.
travisf202 SLAPPAH DA BASS MON!
I was thinking the same thing! It sounds so killer.
really happy with it bro
Let's all take a minute and appreciate the bass player........ dude is killer.
Jonny Davy has one of the strongest and most versatile screams in history.
That intro is so eerie. Like you are in the mid of the desert wandering without a direction
Sick bass line and one of the best intro in the metal history.
You're out your god damn mind with that bold statement.
This album shows how damn important bass is. I'm the lead guitarist in my band and I made our producer turn the bass up higher in our final mix than he wanted to originally. It makes everything else sound soooo much better. Good job JFAC :)
What's the name of your band?
The Labyrinth by Transluce. It's on iTunes, Spotify, Xbox Music, CDBaby and so on! :)

Seriously, this direction was the best decision they could possibly make.

@@tremo324 you're what lmao
To this day... One of my favourite albums ever recorded.
Every song is a fucking masterpiece.
only shit things need advertisement ...
Absolutely one of the most slept on masterpiece metal albums of the last 20 years
I like how technical metal usually has some crazy bass playing. Cliff would love that
It’s 2023 and this song/album still slaps. We need more JFAC. Come back please 🙏
My man... They dropping a single tomorrow
They're back :)
Moon Healer is Nuts
This is the most badass intro and bass track in metal history. No contest.
You'd be surprised how much better a band becomes when they learn how to properly utilize their bassist
FACTS
producers are making decisions the band should control. why even have a bass player play? they're so low mix
how ccould anyone say that those vocals are bad? they are absolutely out of this world, i get goosebumps everytime i hear this man. hes sound is pure evil
Easily one of the greatest to ever do it on this planet and generation. Period
i heard this song randomly on a big shuffle playlist last night and i was smiling and laughing for the entirety at how sick he is
"Pure evil" yes. Sinister.
Bass game is strong.
A modern metal masterpiece, truly. Love the bass on this record, outstanding.
Sickest bass line ever
absolutely insane. bass heaven
Def one of them no lie
This band has never dissapointed. They have never followed and only continued to grow. Great job guys.
That bass, And I swear to god Jonny has the best vocals ever.
This is a very sophisticated and tasteful sound. As someone who enjoyed deathcore in middle school but now mostly listens to jazz/classical, I really appreciate the musicality here
One of my favorite intros of any song 💚
Those bass lines are absolutely amazing
Wow, these guys really want those core kids to stop coming to their shows. Good on them. This should attract some Beyond Creation fans.
Exactly what I was thinking, this definitely reminded me of Beyond Creation
I think this new type of music even makes John Davie's vocal style sound better.
Actually October, friend :]
Yeah, I want to say JFAC comes out October as well?
I felt the same way about the new suicide silence
i first heard them in 2007 and forgot about them, and now in 2024 i've re discovered them, and this time there's killer bass! as a bassist myself this is a mega inspiration. The new album is sick too. But I've listened to this song on repeat now the past few months. unreal!
I don't understand the hate surrounding Johnny's vocals... They suit this new, as well as old, JFAC quite well.
Yeah he's one of the sickest vocalists out there. I couldn't imagine JFAC without him.
One of the sickest vocalists period, this album is so fucking amazing
I remember hearing this song while letting youtube run while i was playing Warcraft.... Haunts me still.

The best part besides Jonny's vocals, is that bass, the guitar mixed with those amazing bass riffs make this song just so deep and heavy.
This is a pop punk song wtf are you talking about
I cut to pop punk because the singer clearly saved me, idk from what it doesn't matter, weed $
True True Mark Wise words From senpai

Perfect mixing, you can hear all the instruments working together.
5 years later. Still a banger
One of the best death metal tracks of all time
When bands actually get better from album to album. Yes!
Ever since Ruination when they found their sound they have gotten better and I'm so happy for them.
Ayyyyy Francesco big fan 😁🔥🤘🤘🤘🤘
Fucking love this bassist..nick shinz kills it always
love the openning. the bass guitar rules
The vocals are what make this band who they are! Love what Davey has done on this song. The musicianship is top notch too. Great Band
love the bass!
I love that I can hear the bass through everything. Such a tonal difference.
I LOVE when the solo kicks in. This is such strong material

WHAT THE FUCK IS UP MY DUDES? NEW MUSIC IS REAL
@@keystep8669 I'm saying! I can't fucking wait 😤
Danny Walker is my favorite drummer of all time. I got to see Intronaut a few years ago, and everything he does is spot on.
the bass reminds me of Mudvayne and how it mixes
True. Ryan Martini.
+Joseph graven my thoughts precisely
It's because Warwick's have a distinct sound. Mudvayne uses a Thumb 5 and JFAC used a Dolphin for this.
Can't get enough of this song. Been listening to it for a week straight.
I have no idea why people are complaining about Jonny Davy's vocals , if you ask me he's killing it in this record . He's the reason why i fell in love with this band but that's just my opinion .
I heard this song and instantly bought the CD. This is just mmmmmm sploosh
Really happy with the direction these guys are going. They have evolved considerably since their days as a deathcore band. Looking forward to hearing the full album!
Sun Eater is their best album so far. I never thought I'd like a midtempo death metal album so much, but it is just brilliant.
that fucking bass line though
Seriously. It's fucking amazing.
The whole album bass is great
Yeah the tone and twang of it is just killer.
Never really got into this band from previous albums, but this song has me hooked. Looking forward to listening to the rest of it.
Downright crushing.
Really great album. I think the sound is greater than ever!
Every album they get better. It's been great listening to them progress over the course of four releases. The new members and confidence on the last two albums has really catapulted the band as well.

This bassist is the soul of Job for a Cowboy's sound, PERIOD. I'm amazed, truly.
Man, this is awesome. I'm so glad they kept their sound from Demonocracy and expanded on it. Sick artwork too.

This record is so fucking under rated.

I remember when my friend showed me JFAC in 2016, good times man good times. This album is still a jam.
Sun Eater is such a masterpiece. Right next to Ruination!!! So disappointed they didn't have a tour cycle for the album..
I can't think of a better intro in the entire history of metal.
why all the dislikes? this is the best song ever....best riff of 2016.
This was released in 2014.
Ok, thanks...still the best riff in 2016! That means they should be due for a new album soon, can't wait to hear whats next from them.
Best death metal album of 2014
i'm thoroughly looking forward to hearing this whole album.
