Metal Blade Records is proud to announce that Detroit, MI's THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER has just hit the Billboard Top Music Videos Chart at the #2 position in the US and #5 position in Canada with the band's brand new and first ever DVD release, Majesty. Since the band's inception, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER has had a relentless worldwide touring schedule ranging from successful appearances at European Festivals to a blistering set at Loud Park in Japan to tirelessly crisscrossing the US on Ozzfest and Sounds of the Underground, not to mention all the headlining and support slot tours the band has been a part of. This side splitting peek into the hard working band's humor laced brand of daily life will have you smelling the funk of the van from coast to coast and keep you coming back for more.

Here's what vocalist Trevor Strnad had to say about reaching the #2 and #5 spots on the Billboard Top Music Videos Charts; “We in The Black Dahlia Murder are completely ecstatic about the reception of our first DVD release for Metal Blade Records, Majesty! I won't lie and say that I had no expectations of the release; throughout its creation I had an inkling that we may be onto something. Having the second highest charting music DVD in the states and the fifth highest in Canada is more than enough proof that I was right! Thank you to the fans…this DVD is dedicated to you and you alone. You are the reason this band stays strong and keeps on going. Our most sincere thanks to our friend and director Robbie Tassaro for his undying devotion to the project. Without him, Majesty never would have happened. Stay tuned to the BDM…big things are on the horizon!”

EVERGREEN TERRACE is hard(ly) at work tracking the music for, ‘Almost Home’, their follow up to 2007's critically acclaimed, Wolfbiker. The band has just uploaded the first video studio update. Watch the video HERE!

Josh James comments: "We are almost finished tracking the music for our new record titled ‘Almost Home’ and let me be the first to say that this record is not going to suck! Next week we head down to Audio Hammer Studios in Orlando, FL to start laying down vocals with metal mastermind, Jason Suecof. We are currently working on some US and European tour dates so keep your ears/eyes open. If you live on Earth then we might be coming near your town once this record comes, and if you don't live on Earth, then you're an alien and probably eat cats. And PETA freaks out when you eat cats. Trust me, it's ok to eat donuts but not dog nuts, that's hypocrisy."

Award-winning Glendale, AZ heavy music powerhouse JOB FOR A COWBOY has completed work on its hotly-anticipated sophomore album, entitled 'Ruination'. The record will see a July 3 / 6, 2009 European release date via Metal Blade Records.

The cover artwork for 'Ruination' has been unveiled. The striking, quasi-conceptual piece was designed by Brent Elliott White and takes its inspiration from JOB FOR A COWBOY front man Jonny Davy's album lyrics and concepts.

“The ideas involved with the new album branch off from our last record, ‘Genesis' but are more politically based,” states Davy. Topics addressed by the album's schema revolve around modern day worldwide dilemmas and controversial issues including “Propaganda in the main stream media and television, humanitarian rights of Northern Korea, the modern genocidal government of Nubia, the use of torture in American military tactics, overruling by world governments and Police states / Martial law”.

JOB FOR A COWBOY will shoot its first music video from 'Ruination' – for the new song 'Regurgitated Disinformation' - on Saturday, June 6 in Philadelphia, PA and is inviting fans to attend and be a part of the event. Presented by R5 Productions & 94 WYSP/Rockers, the JFAC shoot will take place in Philly's First Unitarian Church beginning at 8:00 PM EDT. Downloadable vouchers for the video shoot / live performance will cost just .94 cents and are available at this location. In addition to the video shoot, the evening will include a full live set from both JOB FOR A COWBOY and a “special guest” opening act.

The event voucher will be exchanged for an “admission wristband” on the day of the show. Wristbands will be issued on a first come, first serve basis starting at 12 PM (noon) on June 6 at the main entrance of The First Unitarian Church and will only be available to those who purchased the voucher in advance. The wristband will guarantee admission to the show that evening as well as both a special meet and greet with JFAC and a limited edition poster that includes a promo code to download a special digital Metal Blade sampler featuring new music from Job for a Cowboy, Cannibal Corpse, Behemoth and more. Fans who arrive too late to receive wristbands will still be able to partake in the meet and greet and receive the poster with digital sampler promo code. Full details on the event can be found at this location.

The follow up to the quintet's celebrated debut album 'Genesis', 'Ruination' was recorded at Audio Hammer Productions in Sanford, FL with Producer Jason Suecof. The album features ten tracks of state-of-the-art heavy metal music and marks the JOB FOR A COWBOY recording debuts of drumming prodigy Jon “The Charn” Rice, who has toured with the band since the release of 'Genesis' and guitarist Al Glassman. Upon the release of 'Ruination', JOB FOR A COWBOY will hit the road as one of the featured acts of the 2009 “ROCKSTAR Energy Mayhem Festival” alongside Slayer, Marilyn Manson and more. The 27-date North American march is slated to launch on July 10 in Sacramento, CA.

In the two short years since the release of the band's full length debut, JOB FOR A COWBOY has progressed from “the band with the different name” to one of the leading lights for heavy music in the 21st century. The quintet has toured the world to out-and-out acclaim, highlighted by main stage appearances at distinguished music jubilees such as the UK's Download Festival and Germany's Wacken Open Air. JFAC delivered scintillating live performances as handpicked support to metal titans Megadeth (on both its North American and UK "Gigantour" treks) and co-headlined the highly successful "Radio Rebellion" tour with Polish metal champions Behemoth.

In addition to Davy, Rice and Glassman, JOB FOR A COWBOY features guitarist Bobby Thompson and bassist Brent Riggs.

'Ruination' will be released the 6th of July 2009 in the UK via Metal Blade Records. The limited first edition will be released as a double digipack and includes as a bonus-cd the bands first EP 'Doom' which was never officially released in Europe!
