Commented the band: "We have gotten a bunch of e-mails from kids who are confused about our show this Saturday at the First Unitarian Church in Philly. We wanted to clear it all up for you. If you buy a ticket we are gonna guarantee you get to see the show, even if that means we play two shows in the same night. Philly has always supported the hell out of JOB FOR A COWBOY and metal, so we couldn't think of a better crowd to capture on film losing their shit than you guys. Tickets are only .94 CENTS and we are also gonna be hanging out around 3 p.m. so we can meet some of you guys, so come by early and hang out. This show is gonna be INSANE so come out and go FUCKIN NUTS!"

The event voucher will be exchanged for an "admission wristband" on the day of the show.

JOB FOR A COWBOY recently posted a brand new song, "Unfurling a Darkened Gospel", on the band's MySpace page. The track comes off the group's highly anticipated sophomore album, "Ruination", which is scheduled for release 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 cover artwork for "Ruination" has been unveiled and is available for viewing below. The striking, quasi-conceptual piece was designed by Brent Elliott White and takes its inspiration from JOB FOR A COWBOY frontman Jonny Davy's album lyrics and concepts.

"The ideas involved with the new album branch off from our last record, 'Genesis', but are more politically based," states 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."

"Ruination" marks the JOB FOR A COWBOY recording debut of drumming prodigy Jon "The Charn" Rice, who has toured with the band since the release of "Genesis" and features ten tracks of state-of-the-art heavy metal music.

According to a press release, "Ruination" "sees JOB FOR A COWBOY advance by leaps and bounds; the record is a concentrated hotbed of astounding dexterity, scorching attack, sleek arrangement and thundering musical muscle. Infectious riffs, keen dynamics and the assertive vocals of rising star frontman Jonny Davy combine to produce an album that is at once powerful, expressive, confident and commanding."

Commented Davy, "JOB FOR A COWBOY has toured the world and faced a ton of challenges over the course of the last year and a half. All of the hard work that we've put in and everything that we've experienced is directly reflected in our new songs, which we know are our best yet."

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.
