Job For A CowboyMoon Healer

✦✦✦✧ After seven years away, JFAC treat us with this powerhouse album, a followup to 2014’s Sun Eater. The band continue to hone their punishing brand of techdeath, flirting with a more experimental approach to their songwriting. The riffs on here: sheer madness. Shout out to the always great Navene Koperweis filling in on drums this time around (but everyone turns in epic performances here).

Job For A CowboySun Eater

★★★☆ This is JFAC’s most technical, ambitious, and impressive album to date, with the band sounding as much like BTBAM than BDM. For one thing, every performance is tight (special shoutout to Intronaut’s Danny Walker, who handles the drumming duties on this album, and elevates the entire proceedings). For another, Jason Suecof’s production is a perfect fit, and oh my god so much bass guitar all over this goddamned thing I love it!
