The Duskfall is yet another fine example of Scandinavian domination their brutal yet melodic sound captures all the most prominent features of modern metal music. “Lifetime Supply of Guilt” the group’s third LP is still considered one of their best offerings. This exclusive re-release brings back a truly exceptional mixture of thrash death and power metal! “Lifetime Supply of Guilt” landed in music stores on August 12th 2005 introducing ten outstanding tracks of pure metal mayhem. The band managed to brilliantly conjoin thrash power and melodic death metal with clear nods to Gothenburg legends In Flames and At The Gates as well as some other modern metal acts like Soilwork Arch Enemy and Hypocrisy. The Duskfall kept their music true to the classical approach but in the same time presented their own original style based on crushing guitar riffs thick bottom-heavy bass and insane drumming powered by passionate and aggressive vocals by Kai Jaakkola (thankfully The Duskfall remain one of the few groups that refuse to converge to the mainstream by not adding any clean vocals to their mixture). The album hit the listener with such highlights as the opening thrash malice “Trust Is verrated” the edge-crushing “Relieve Your Fall” and the catchy “Shoot It In” which was released as the promotional single for the LP. “Lifetime Supply of Guilt” proved to be a worthy successor their previous offering “Source” delivering a prime dose of passionate modern metal.
Putting the rock into Morocco

" Youssef and his band stress they are good Muslims – they do not take drugs or drink alcohol and break off rehearsals to pray. Their songs evoke what they see as terrible injustices all around them – poverty and corruption in Morocco and Africa and the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. Youssef’s parents are supportive – up to a point. His mother Rahma Benseddik says she does not really understand the music but she does have one of his songs stored on her mobile phone.

“Ruination” is Job for a Cowboy’s best effort to date

The EP was largely mocked and dismissed as deathcore nonsense with laughable vocals and poorly written music. In 2007 Job for a Cowboy released “Genesis” surprising everyone by steering away from deathcore and toward straight-on death metal at a time when bands were drifting toward –core music en masse. The result was mixed. While most people agreed that the effort was better than “Doom” the reception for “Genesis” was split. Many hailed it as a truly great death metal album while others decried it as being boring and derivative. With new guitarist Al Glassman (ex-Despised Icon) and drummer Jon Rice Job for a Cowboy’s new CD “Ruination” takes the next natural step towards good death metal.
