Job For a Cowboy

Metal Music For Ever

Yep, the new album has no metalcore stuff anymore. A pure death metal album through and through. While I didn't mind the Doom EP, I think they have improved greatly with this album. On the negative side, the songs are short and frankly hardly vary from each other. It is rather simple in that sense. Still there are some pleasant song here like Reduced to Mere Filth and Erabedded. Check it out.
 
JFAC have (thank god) seemed to abandon their deathcore background and now they demand respect from their haters with Ruination, which in my honest opinion is a great death metal album.
 
Ehhhhhhh, I wouldn't go as far to say it's a "great" death metal album.

It's decent, and when compared to their earlier stuff, it could be considered great. But.. when comparing it to death metal as a whole? It's pretty bland and extremely forgettable.
 
Job for a Cowboy - it's as thought he merabers took all the bad stereotypes of death metal, blended it with the blatant idiocy of metalcore, and proclaimed it be wonderful.

They are to "deathcore" as Cradle of Filth is to Black Metal.
 
Calling it great may have taken it a bit to far, but still I'll label it as good. It actually sorta blew me away when I heard it because I was expecting them to go back to their 'Doom' days but no, they continued where 'Genesis' went off and played pure death metal.
I wouldn't call it forgettable but I guess musically it was nothing special, I guess the driving force behind my enthusiastic opinion of the album was the surprise I got hearing it wasn't a return to Deathcore after the failure of Genesis.
 
Just one quick listen, are you serious? Even I gave banRAB like Into Eternity and Anaal Natherak(Sp?) a very listens before I condemned them.
 
Yeah I know what you mean, lol. But hey, their next album could be potentially kick ass if they keep up the pattern.

I'm more into Old School Death metal anyway, so I am being a bit biased. There's not a lot of modern stuff that I like much, heh. It all seems to focus too much on being overly technical, or just trying to be "brutal". It doesn't have the same feel to it, the same ideology old school death metal had.
