Auch wenn JOB FOR A COWBOY weder vom Namen her so klingen, noch danach aussehen, sie spielen Progressive Death Metal mit Dewathcoreanleihen. Gehören also nicht wirklich der zarten Sorte an. Das heute herausgekommen Video zu `The Agony Seeping Storm` beweist es. Der neue Song stammt vom ersten Longplayer in fast zehn Jahren, der allerdings noch keinen Titel trägt.
Fronter Jonny Davy erzählt über das kommende Konzeptalbum, das noch in diesem Jahr erschienen wird:
„‘The Agony Seeping Storm’ gives a slice of our upcoming concept record. Regarding the video, the band collaborated extensively with director K. Hunter Lumar (Digital Mile), while our bassist, Nick Schendzielos, co-directed. The concept was inspired by a close friend who embarked on a relentless quest for profound enlightenment through the incessant abuse of hallucinogenic drugs. However, as they delved deeper into their religious-like experimentation they began exhibiting symptoms of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. They came to believe that they could access an alternate, esoteric reality through hallucinogenic intoxication, where they encountered gnostic and biblical figures and imagery. These songs reflect their thoughts, ideas, and experiences.”

Lyrics:
As above, so below;
As within, so without;
As the universe, so the soul
I find myself infectiously waiting for a glimpse at the dismal sun
But instead, possessed is my shadow from the moonlight as the night begun
My now mutating silhouette, to swell and embody a monolith which seeps agony
It rains a bubbling storm with thousands of eyes agazed, spellbound by its stagnancy
An intoxicating froth spews below its mist, igniting a delicate illumination
The overseers are drugged from a god adrift, from my unforeseen creation
I find myself infectiously waiting for a glimpse at the dismal sun
But instead, possessed is my shadow from the moonlight as the night begun
My now mutating silhouette, to swell and embody a monolith which seeps agony
It rains a bubbling storm with thousands of eyes agazed, spellbound by its stagnancy
The fog enshrouds the sun with a cosmic shame
An ancient faith rebirthed through a patient flame
As above, so below;
As within, so without;
As the universe, so the soul
An intoxicating froth spews below its mist, igniting a delicate illumination
The overseers are drugged from a god adrift, from my unforeseen creation
