Ruination is the second studio album by American death metal band Job for a Cowboy. The follow-up to their first studio album Genesis, Ruination was recorded at AudioHammer studios in Sanford, Florida with producer Jason Suecof and was mixed by Fredrik Nordström. It was released July 7, 2009 through Metal Blade Records. The album sold around 10,600 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 42 on The Billboard 200 chart. Following the departure of guitarist Ravi Bhadriraju, who left Job for a Cowboy to go back to medical school being replaced by former Despised Icon guitarist Al Glassman, the band recorded demo tracks with producer Jason Suecof. Vocalist Jonny Davy stated in an interview with Way Too Loud!, that this material differs from the band''s first full-length, to have "a bit of an old-school [death metal] touch."
