JOB FOR A COWBOY Unleashes “Beyond The Chemical Doorway”

By
Luke Spencer
-

Experimental death metallers JOB FOR A COWBOY are pleased to unleash “Beyond The Chemical Doorway,” the latest single from their long-awaited new full-length, Moon Healer, set for release on February 23rd via Metal Blade Records. The release marks the iconic outfit’s first new full-length in a decade!

Moon Healer is a vivid illustration of what happens when creativity, aggression, and volatility tangle for the first time in years. Like the band’s critically adored, 2014-released Sun Eater offering, Moon Healer is musically multifaceted, unabashedly brutal, and compellingly conceptual. Featuring a newly refreshed and reinspired lineup of frontman and co-founder Jonny Davy, guitarists Tony Sannicandro and Al Glassman, bassist Nick Schendzielos, and drummer (since 2020) Navene Koperweis, the band seamlessly picks up the mantle where Sun Eater left off.

Compared to past offerings, Moon Healer is as bone-crushing as JOB FOR A COWBOY has ever been. But it’s more consistent and conceptual, composed with the utmost enthusiasm and confidence. “The evolution of our sound has become a big part of the band,” Davy says. “As we mature as musicians, our tastes and interests naturally expand. With age comes more experience and ideas that we wouldn’t have considered in our earlier years.”

When discussing the lyrical genesis of songs like “Grinding Wheels Of Ophanim,” “Into The Crystalline Crypts,” and latest single, “Beyond The Chemical Doorway,” Davy’s writing gets cryptic and elliptical-sounding, part Philip K. Dick, part Timothy Leary. “I envision this as a death metal album born from the mystical confines of an alchemist’s laboratory. The music acts as potent potions, inducing hallucinogenic journeys that unlock the secrets of the universe.”

With “Beyond The Chemical Doorway,” Davy explores Gnosticism — an occult teaching based on Gnosis, a state of transcendence achieved through intuitive, unconventional means — by way of Hieronymus Bosch’s art. Elaborates Davy, “On Moon Healer, we unravel the dismal narrative of a close friend consumed by an unwavering pursuit of enlightenment. They achieve this through a compulsive embrace of hallucinogenic drugs. This storyline emerges from the foundation set in our earlier album, Sun Eater, delving deeper into the intricacies brewing within our friend’s psyche.

“When under the influence of these drugs,” he continues, “this individual claimed to encounter entities and find themselves in indescribable worlds that defy rational comprehension. Many who undergo such experiences draw intriguing parallels between diverse facets of Gnostic philosophy, biblical depictions of angels, and the stages of Bardo Thodol delineated in the Tibetan Book Of The Dead. In the album’s opener, ‘Beyond The Chemical Doorway,’ our friend vividly voices his hallucinations, recounting the experience of breaching forbidden, gnostic-like realms, with each account culminating in the utter unraveling of his being.”

Watch the band’s previously released videos for
“The Agony Seeping Storm” HERE and “The Forever Rot” HERE.

Moon Healer was produced by Jason Suecof (Death Angel, The Black Dahlia Murder, Deicide) at his Audiohammer Studios and is the first JOB FOR A COWBOY album to feature session drummer Navene Koperweis (ex-Animosity). Davy previously worked with Koperweis in the progressive death metal side project Fleshwrought, which released Dementia/Dyslexia through Metal Blade in 2010. Koperweis also worked as a session drummer for Machine Head and Whitechapel and is currently in the band Entheos, whose third full-length came out on Metal Blade in March 2023.

Bayside Shares “Castaway”

By

Bayside

Esteemed punk act Bayside is thrilled to share their new single “Castaway”, out now via Hopeless Records. Fans can stream the new track – the band’s first since 2023’s The Blue EP – now, here: ffm.to/baysidecastaway

About the new single, front man Anthony Raneri shares: “I think ‘Castaway’ is one of the most exciting songs that we’ve written in 24 years. We really wanted to keep the listener on their toes and on the edge of their seat. We hope that between the fast pace, odd timings, and metaphors that as soon as it’s over, you need to listen again”

Fans can hear “Castaway” live for the first time on Bayside’s forthcoming North American headline tour. The Worse Things Than Being Alive Tour, kicking off on April 3rd in Pittsburgh, features support from Finch, Armor For Sleep, and Winona Fighter. Raneri adds: “We’re so excited to be touring with a couple of real pioneers in this genre. It’s been close to 20 years since we played a show with either band. So excited to finally run it back.”

Additional stops on The Worse Things Than Being Alive Tour include: Baltimore, Nashville, Austin, Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, New York, and more. Tickets, including VIP packages, will be available this Friday, January 26th at 12pm ET. Click here for tickets & info.

For the past 22 years, Queens-based Bayside has represented a lifestyle, a counterculture, and a deeply held conviction, diverse in thought and background but united by a shared desire for authentic expression. At their core, Bayside is a band that has constantly proved that music is not about gimmicks and ephemeral trends, but a timeless reflection of our lives and our times. It is through this timelessness and consistency that they continue to cultivate a cult-following that lives and breathes everything the band creates.

Bayside has always focused on creating songs that are relevant to people who want substance, rather than being relegated to one genre. And while many bands would coast on their past success, Bayside rejects the premise and proves time and again that the best is yet to come.

In 2022, Bayside released The Red EP, marking their first new music since 2019’s Interrobang‽. The EP’s three songs saw the band refining their unique brand of punk rock even further, with powerful, hard-hitting melodies. With 2023’s The Blue EP, Bayside further honed their sound, blending heavier influences with the band’s melodic punk roots.

“Castaway” sees the band continuing to lean into their brasher side, with its breakneck pace, searing guitars, and driving percussion. Stream “Castaway” now, here, and stay tuned for more new music coming soon.

4/3 – Pittsburgh, PA @ Roxian Theatre

Green Day – Saviors | Album Review

By
Luke Spencer
-


A slight return to form for the band. After Father Of All, Green Day played this one safe while still delivering some big hooks. Some of the best tracks are the short two minute blasts like “Look Ma, No Brains!” and “Living In The ’20s”. Along with that, “Coma City” also was a pleasant surprise. There is definite filler in the album however. “Bobby Sox” and “Suzie Chapstick”, despite fun names, are absolutely unnecessary. Other songs like “The American Dream Is Killing Me” have good lyrics but sound similar to much of Green Day’s past standard four-chord discography. Saviors has more hits than misses and you can still hear the fuel ignite from the pop-punk trio 20 years after American Idiot. 7/10

Best Tracks:
Coma City*
Living In The ’20s*

“Green Day’s latest album, “Saviors,” has garnered mixed reviews from both critics and fans. Some highlights of the album include:
-A return to the band’s classic sound, with echoes of their earlier albums “Dookie” (1994) and “American Idiot” (2004)
-A sharp and sarcastic take on the sociopolitical landscape, with a caustic humor and contagious melodies
-A handsome bookend to “American Idiot,” with a more refined and critical approach to the cultural currency of their release
However, some critics argue that the album is:
-Laboured and world-weary, with a sense of weary resignation in the lyrics
-Sonically competent but safe, stale, and predictable, lacking the impenetrable hooks and songwriting abilities of their earlier work.
-Filled with tracks that sound like lesser versions of other songs throughout Green Day’s discography.
Despite the mixed reviews, fans have generally viewed “Saviors” as an uptick in Green Day’s career, particularly compared to their previous albums. The album has received positive responses from both fans and critics, with some noting that it is a return to form for the band.” (Perplexity)

Critically acclaimed, 3x-Grammy-nominated rock mainstays NOTHING MORE ignite 2024 with their emotionally riveting and cathartic new single “If It Doesn’t Hurt” out today (January 19) digitally via BETTER NOISE MUSIC. Stream and/or download it HERE. Focusing on the hard truths of a fractured and toxic romantic relationship, NOTHING MORE have teamed up with director Orie McGinness (Bad Omens, Spiritbox) to emphasize the song’s impassioned lyrical content and potent music with a new music video debuting today. Watch it streaming below or via YouTube HERE. 

“Gaslighting, manipulation, narcissistic deceit and betrayal… this song was written while trapped and is sung now while free,” exclaims NOTHING MORE frontman Jonny Hawkins. “If you’re in toxic relationship and are waiting for a sign to get out…this is it.”

NOTHING MORE—Jonny Hawkins (vocals), Mark Vollelunga (guitar), Daniel Oliver (bass), and Ben Anderson (drums)—will head overseas from February 1 to March 2 on a headlining run across the UK and Europe in continued support of the deluxe version of their 2022 acclaimed album SPIRITS (Better Noise Music). Find all upcoming shows and tickets, plus VIP upgrade options at https://nothingmore.net. NOTHING MORE will be announcing additional tour dates in the coming week along with further details on new music for 2024. Stay tuned for more information. 

SPIRITS–DELUXE VERSION features six bonus tracks including three live recordings—the first-ever live releases from the group—captured from their sold-out headlining concert at Irving Plaza in New York, New York and an updated version of their hit single “BEST TIMES” featuring Lacey Sturm of Flyleaf. Stream and/or download SPIRITS–DELUXE VERSION now HERE. SPIRITS combines unapologetically massive anthems, catchy hooks, and progressive music with introspective, philosophical lyrics and thought-provoking emotionalism. It was accompanied by their very own meta-personality test, SPIRITS TEST, designed by frontman Jonny Hawkins. Similar to tests such asMyers-Briggs, Big 5 and the Zodiac, the test’s results give each participant a “Spirit Type,” one of seven personality characters. The “Spirit Types” and their origin story are further detailed in the band’s first-ever graphic novel “SPIRITS VOL.1” out now via Z2 Comics, grab a copy HERE.
