Job for a Cowboy is an American death metal band from Glendale, Arizona, funded originally in December, 2003. The band originally comprises vocalist Jonny Davy, guitarists Tony Sannicandro and Al Glassman and bassist Nick Schendzielos. Nevertheless, currently Davy is the only remaining founding member.

Their first EP Doom is considered deathcore, but the group has changed their sound to death metal and even technical death metal with their first three studio albums (Genesis, Ruination, and Demonocracy) and their last two albums have a more progressive and even experimental sound.

Influenced by bands such as Nile, Mastodon, Decapitated, Hate Eternal, Cattle Decapitation, Psycroptic, and Misery Index, and by the hand of Metal Blade Records (Record label in which they have released almost all their albums, excepting their first EP), Job for a Cowboy has been described as “an Arizona band with a guttural, brute-force sound descended (indirectly) from hardcore punk” and a “straightforwardly brutal act”.
