Job For A Cowboy Debuts New Music Video “Beyond The Chemical Doorway”

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 23, 2024 via Metal Blade Records. The release marks the iconic outfit‘s first new full-length in a decade! You can check out the video below.

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.”
