JOB FOR A COWBOY's 'Demonocracy' Out TODAY; NEW Behind-The-Scenes Video Available!

JOB FOR A COWBOY's long-anticipated NEW full-length 'Demonocracy' is out TODAY through Metal Blade Records. Produced by Jason Suecof (Black Dahlia Murder, Whitechapel, Trivium) at Audiohammer Studios, the complex Death Metal opus, tackles a host of political and economic themes and has already reaped the praise of fans and critics nationally. In a 4/5 rating, Alternative Press calls 'Demonocracy' "an ass-kicking, skull-cracking record," Hellbound commends the band for managing to “bend the ol’ familiar Death Metal formula their way and come up with something that is both invigorating and original,” while Stereokiller notes: “…a solid slab of some really heavy technical Death M etal. JOB FOR A COWBOY has separated themselves from former peers such as All Shall Perish and Whitechapel, and has now firmly fitted themselves with the likes of Suffocation and Dying Fetus." Metal Army America opines in an A+ review: "History was made with this album," while Craveonline agrees:  "JOB FOR A COWBOY…produce ugly music for an ugly world. If art is a reflection of humanity, then JOB FOR A COWBOY are showing us a part of ourselves we don't want to see. The band's latest opus of ugly is 'Demonocracy' and once again they come out of the gate firing on all pistons."

In celebration of the release, the band today posted the first of a series of in-studio video clips. Watch it now!



JOB FOR A COWBOY are currently molesting ears across North America on the Metal Alliance Tour. Joined by The Faceless, Dying Fetus, 3 Inches Of Blood, Impending Doom, Wretched, and headliners, Devildriver the remaining dates are below.

Divine Ascension 'Answers' Video + Behind The Scenes Footage!

Divine Australian Metal band Ascension, recently released their debut album, "As the Truth Appears" on Nightmare Records. The band also filmed a video clip for the single "Answers", along with a behind the scenes look at the making of the video for "Answers". Both videos can be watched below.

Drummer Luke Wenczel spoke about the making of the video:

"For many of us, the "Answers" film clip shoot was our first film clip experience. It was all filmed in one day, which translates to arriving at 7am and leaving at 11pm. We wanted our first clip to give our fans a chance to see who we were and I believe we accomplished that. It was a really fun day for us. We had to work hard throughout, but in between shooting, the shenanigans were aplenty!

""Answers" was filmed at a primary school in Melbourne's outer eastern suburbs on a Sunday. Jennifer was able to secure the venue by offering to run a school disco for the students later in the year through her children's entertainment business.

"We were told by a school representative to make sure we locked the doors as they get a lot of families and kids using the school grounds and play equipment on weekends, much like a park, and that they might be tempted to venture in to see what was happening. So, there we are, blackout for lights, lockout for visitors, in a primary school indoor amphitheatre hammering out 'Answers' take after take. The PA wasn't loud enough so we cranked it even louder. We were all in our stage gear, black, and we had a makeup artist come along to ensure our faces weren't washed out on camera. Simon (Bass) and Karl (Guitar) opted for heavy eyeliner to look more... I don't know, and repeatedly asked if we thought it was too much! At lunch we thought it was an opportune time to get some band photos, as we hadn't had any shots done since Simon joined. We all bunched up in front of the lights and got a few indoor shots and then someone mentioned we should go out onto the play equipment. So we did. Well, the families and kids and grandparents enjoying the sun warmed winter's day that were there before were nowhere to be seen upon the completion of our outdoor photo shoot. In our full film clip attire, we climbed, perched, hung, swung, straddled and slid from every piece of child playground apparatus as we could, all in the name of capturing that 'Kodak moment!'"





Divine Ascension are sure to delight legions of symphonic, progressive Metal and female-fronted band fans alike with their debut, "As The Truth Appears". Both lyrically and musically, their primordial good and evil theme works extremely well with Jennifer's powerfully resplendent and virtuous tone.

Backing the theatrical trained Borg are five men of drive and spirit. The sheer energy that is produced during a Divine Ascension set has caught many and left them stunned.

Four years from the demo recording and a 'baptism of fire' touring the local Australian Metal scene, D.A. have now recorded and mixed their full-length debut album, "As The Truth Appears". Ermin Hamidovic of Systematic Productions was at the helm throughout recording and mixing the album, and Sweden's own Plec from Panic-Room Mastering (Scar Symmetry) was commissioned and has put the finishing masterful touches on this long awaited release.

Track listing:

1. Answers
2. Visionary
3. In My Mind
4. Vision Divine
5. Guided By Osiris
6. One Last Caress
7. Garden of Evil
8. Another Battlefield
9. Civilization

Behemoth - Music Video Premiere for 'Lucifer'!

Poland's Heavy Metal meisters Behemoth have teamed up again with Grupa 13 to produce a music video for their song 'Lucifer'; which is a track taken from their 2009 release titled "Evangelion". The song clocks in at over eight minutes long and is one of the most atmospheric and foreboding songs in Behemoth's vast catalogue.

The video was shot in Wroclaw, Poland and stars the song's guest vocalist, Maciej Malenczuk.



Here is a behind the scenes video of the making of 'Lucifer'.



Back in print and newly repackaged, "Demonica" chronicles the earliest recordings of Polish blackened Death Metal legends Behemoth! "Demonica" will include two booklets; a 28 page booklet and a 16 page booklet with rare photos and lyrics that were not included with the original release. Painstakingly compiled by the band, and in particular, front-man and founding member Nergal, who had this to say about compiling lyrics:

"Finding and collecting all the lyrics was a difficult task, demanding patience and time. With an aim of preserving the so-called historical authenticity, I have resolved to forward the lyrics in their original form, even though some of the language mistakes in them may obscure the overall meaning of the work… The fact that none of them has ever been published before, speaks of their exceptional collectors or even historical value… All the lyrics, despite their imperfections and just terrible English, depict me from the time of their creation. I still believe that it was a very straightforward and honest material, which had its mighty influence on who I am today."

"Demonica" will be available in North America November 22 in North America, via Metal Blade Records.

1. Of My Worship
2. Summoning of the Ancient Gods
3. The Arrival (Instrumental)

Behemoth - Behind the Scenes of the making-of Video for "Lucifer"

Poland's Heavy Metal meisters Behemoth have teamed up again with Grupa 13 to produce a behind the scenes video during the production of Behemoth's video for "Lucifer". A track taken from their 2009 release titled "Evangelion". The song clocks in at over eight minutes long and is one of the most atmospheric and foreboding songs in Behemoth's vast catalogue.

The video was shot in Wroclaw, Poland and stars the song's guest vocalist, Maciej Malenczuk. The video is currently being edited and will see a worldwide premiere this September. Behemoth set the bar high with their last video, which was also a Grupa 13 collaboration, "Alas, Lord is Upon Me".

"It's crazy. The making of video is 10 minutes long and you watch it like it was 3 minutes… it's so intense and still, doesn't look like anything we've done before! "Lucifer" was a huge artistic challenge and I managed to create a VERY unique atmosphere. Watch and enjoy while waiting for the final result. The video's gonna fuckin' slay!" - Behemoth front man, Nergal



On other news, Nergal was acquitted for the second time for bible-tearing in Poland, here is what he had to say about this.

"I really had so much faith in judges. The verdict seems to be right. Intelligence and truth won over backward thinking and conservative attitudes; though I'm aware of the fact it's not over yet. The battle is won but the war is on…"
