Referred to as "the most anticipated debut release from a metal band in years", JOB FOR A COWBOY’s "GENESIS" debuted at #54 on Billboard's Top 200 chart in its first week of release and joined the initial releases from Stone Sour and Damageplan (which featured members of Slipknot and Pantera respectively) amongst the highest charting metal debuts to crack Billboard's Top 200 since Slipknot's 1999 self-titled album. JOB FOR A COWBOY has since earned a landslide of top media accolades including being named "Best Underground Band" at the Metal Hammer "Golden Gods Awards", one of Total Guitar's "Hottest Guitar Bands", one of Alternative Press' "Bands You Need to Know" and one of Revolver's "Breakthrough Bands that will be Kicking Your Ass this Year".
JOB FOR A COWBOY features vocalist Jonny Davy, guitarists Ravi Bhadriraju and Bobby Thompson, bassist Brent Riggs and drummer Jon "The Charn" Rice.

"Job for a Cowboy, a very young death-metal group out of Glendale, AZ, is one of the major success stories of 2007: After last year’s self-released EP created a solid buzz, the band’s Metal Blade debut CD, Genesis, has moved some 50,000 copies and nearly scraped the Billboard Top 50." - TIME OUT NEW YORK
"sense-numbing, perpetual death metal" - VILLAGE VOICE
"Job For A Cowboy have created an album that quite simply obliterates everyone currently residing within the death and grind scenes. A snarling, sadistic exercise in non-stop ferocity, 'Genesis' is one of the year's most essential metal purchases." - KERRANG!
"After conquering MySpace and winning support from the man who discovered METALLICA and SLAYER, JOB FOR A COWBOY are riding the new wave of extreme...metal's "next big thing" - GUITAR WORLD
"Their name is a lighthearted nod to the ranch-country surroundings of their home base outside of Phoenix, but there's nothing funny about JOB FOR A COWBOY's sound...possessed" - REVOLVER |
