According to the Tumblr of Audiohammer Studios’ producer Eyal Levi, Job for a Cowboy have shown up over the weekend to begin the recording of their upcoming record. Keep in mind the album won’t have former drummer Jon “Charn” Rice (who only recently dropped out of the band), but Intronaut‘s Danny Walker.

Walker isn’t a full-fledged member of the band, but a temporary replacement for the recording sessions… or at least that’s the way it is right now. No word on what the band are going to do when it comes time for touring on the new album.

Job for a Cowboy have been getting progressively faster and heavier over the years, so I think it’s safe to say that this record has the potential to collapse universes. It helps that the guitar duo of Tony Sannicandro and Al Glassman are unstoppable riff machines and bassist Nick Schendzielos is certifiably out of his mind in every way possible.

Last week, Job For A Cowboy drummer Jon “Charn” Rice announced that he was over itand leaving the band, but no hard feelings.

This left the rest of the band in a bit of a pickle, as they already started writing new material, but I guess it was a good problem to have as they announced today that Intronaut’s Danny Walker will be filling in on drums.

This is very exciting for us here at Metal Injection. Sure, Intronaut lean more to the proggier side, but Danny Walker is no stranger to death metal, having drummed in bands like Exhumed and Uphill Battle, a band Frank has gushed over on the site very much in the past.

Walker is pumped to be joining JFAC in the studio, writing:

“I’m thrilled to be working with these guys on this record! I look forward to challenging myself and contributing to a fresh and different outlet!”

Job for a Cowboy bassist Nick Schendzielos also released a comment making it known there are no hard feelings with Charn:

“Well my friends the time has come and The Charn has officially decided to step off the JFAC train. Absolutely no hahd feelins or nothin! We love the dude, cherish the memories we made with him, and in all likelihood will be seeing him again very soon…which brings up the next awesome piece of news…

“Our phenomenally talented friend Danny Walker is going to grace our next full length with his decidedly delicious drum tracks! We are seriously excited to hear what it’s going to turn out like- let the anticipation build!”

I’m really excited to see what these guys come up with in the studio!

Sick Drummer Magazine’s Top 15 Metal Drumming Albums of 2012!

01. Danny Walker: Murder Construct – Results

Grindcore is difficult to understand and really grasp for most people, yet Danny somehow finds a way to convey his patterns in a manner that not only enhances the songs, but makes it a bit easier to understand on a whole. Danny has come a very long way and his drumming continues to progress, impress and evolve. His work on this record is simply outstanding.

We wrapped up the mixing for “Habitual Levitations” last night!  Artwork will be revealed soon.  Release date is March 19th!
