Formed in 2003, Job For A Cowboy is a death metal band, based in Glendale, Arizona. They started as a deathcore group, but evolved into a more death metal sound.

After their 2004 demo, Job For A Cowboy released their debut EP Doom in 2005, to generally positive reviews. It was originally released on King Of The Monsters, but a larger record label spotted the band and signed them, and the album was re-released on their current record label, Metal Blade Records, in 2006 with a bonus track. After being signed, Andrew Arcurio was kicked out of the group for lack of interest and participation and was replaced by Bobby Thompson. Elliot Sellers also left the group after completing the writing and recording process for their Metal Blade debut album, Genesis (2007); he was replaced by Jon Rice during the YouTube tryouts.

In 2009, they released Ruination which has been their highest charting album to date at #42 on the Billboard 200. In 2011, they released an EP titled Gloom which was limited to 2500 copies worldwide. By 2012, the band released their 3rd album Demonocracy, with Sun Eater following two years later in 2014. After nearly a decade, the band released their album Moon Healer in 2024.
