Sun Eater is the fourth studio album by American death metal band Job for a Cowboy. It was released in 2014 by Metal Blade Records. The album features session musician Danny Walker on drums, and Cannibal Corpse vocalist George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher guested on the song "The Synthetic Sea".
The album demonstrates a profound shift in the band's sound, pursuing a much more progressive musical style than earlier releases.
"The album breathes life into the death metal genre as an album that can truly stand alone and be compared to nothing else. Wondering riffs, groove driven guitar segments, solos, and deathly vocals all remain a staple in this JFAC release, but what's new is what happens to be the most attractive. The consistent pace of the album is the un-deniable driving factor in bringing their dependable new sound to a whole new level. There are slower and faster segments, but in all, the album paces itself well... It helps the listener digest, and plow through the tracks at a rewarding rate. After fully feeding on the progress, the listener will be able to remember distinctions and highlights throughout. The progressive feel is also a refreshing touch...
Sun Eater remains an album that will be a solid brick in the foundation of the death metal genre with no gimmicks or trends to back it up." - Metal Injection
