* DevelopmentHell[=/=]ExtremelyLengthyCreation: The ten-year gap between ''Sun Eater'' and ''Moon Healer'' can be blamed on various factors. Jonny, by his own admission, was the biggest one; he went back to school, got married, had several kids, and started a non-musical career, and he had neither the time nor the desire to tour for quite a while. Tony, meanwhile, went back to school, got accepted into med school, and moved over to Ireland for his schooling, and therefore was unable to tour himself or devote much time to the band. Al and Nick were still up to tour, but with the other two unable to commit, Al toiled away at his day job (and destroyed their van by accident after he repurposed it as a work vehicle) and brought back Goratory as a local and fest band, while Nick joined Havok right as they got significantly bigger and was tied up for the next four and a half years. The one show they did in 2016 ultimately went nowhere, as they still couldn't tour and could barely make time for anything else, and Jon Rice joined Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats sometime after and became unavailable after that. There was some work that was quietly being done in the shadows (mostly by Al and Nick), and they all stayed in contact, but the new album was mostly just talk. It wasn't until 2019 that any sort of meaningful development occurred, as the Serpent of Gnosis writing and recording sessions got Jonny, Al, and Tony back into a creative headspace, and they found themselves seriously talking about Job for a Cowboy again and decided that, with the band having turned into something of a legend over the years, now was as good a time as any to get the album done and play some shows again. They ''were'' ready to hit the studio in May of 2020, but COVID-19 took the wind out of those sails (along with at least one comeback tour that they had planned), and it pushed the album back by another five months, which turned into several more years due to pandemic-era woes plus delays in tracking the album. By the time the last tracks were turned in so the mastering process could begin in mid-2023, Navene Koperweis' session drum tracks had been done for over three years.

* WriteWhatYouKnow: As per Jonny Davy, ''Sun Eater'' was conceptually inspired by a good friend of the band's whose belief in HigherUnderstandingThroughDrugs led to increasingly problematic use of psychedelics until they suffered a psychotic break that they never fully recovered from.
