Job for a Cowboy Share Video for “The Forever Rot”

Job for a Cowboy graced us with a new single last week, “The Forever Rot,” and now they’re back with a video for the song to get us even more stoked on their forthcoming album.

Their next record, Moon Healer, will be out February 23, 2024 via Metal Blade Records. It will be their first full-length in a decade.

They’ve already shared the single “The Agony Seeping Storm,” a frantic, post-death metal diatribe, and this song slows it down a bit and is a little more melodic, gritty, and classic, with a gnarly, old-school video to match.

Bassist Nick Schendzielos says about the video:

“Jonny and I delved extensively over the past few years into the conceptual aspects of Moon Healer, and there was naturally a wide array of visual imagery invoked by the subject matter. We really wanted to bring the experiences of the character in Sun Eater/Moon Healer to life. The thematic elements represented are uniquely interesting to me so I was quite enthused to be able to take on the videos for ‘The Agony Seeping Storm,’ and now, ‘The Forever Rot.’

“I’ve been pretty extensively diving into video production over the last few years with director Kyle Lamar from Digital Myle on other projects, so there’s a synergy that’s there with us already. His camera work is incredible , and he’s got such a great grasp on every element of the process. Jonny, Kyle, and I really gelled together, and I think it shows in the final product. Extracting the raw, authentic elements of the song’s narrative, melody, and emotion, and translating them into a visual composition has been vastly artistically fulfilling and I look forward to creating more… from brainstorming, to filming, all the way through editing, it’s such a fun process to see our ideas come to fruition. It’s quite the ride… We hope you enjoy the trip!”

Moon Healer will be out February 23, 2024, but you can preorder your copy today.
