Employed To Serve

About the artist

Leading lights of British metal, Employed To Serve, take pride of place on the heavy metal world stage as they return with brand new single ‘Atonement’ feat. Will Ramos of Lorna Shore, plus long-awaited new studio album, ‘Fallen Star’, set for release on Friday, April 25th. “We want to fly the flag for heavy metal and the traditions that it holds,” offers guitarist and songwriter Sammy Urwin, “But at the same time we want to play our part in taking things forward.” Since meeting in their teens on the outskirts of London, vocalist Justine Jones and guitarist / co-vocalist Sammy have had their sights fixed on the road ahead. At first, it was all about standing with the local scene bands they admired, but before long they were forging a path of their own, lifers with a mission, evolving from the feral mathcore of their early EPs to detonating a full-throttle career high with 2021 album, ‘Conquering’. And now there’s ‘Fallen Star’, an 11-track tour-de-force that sees the collective ETS vision refined to an even sharper degree… Produced and mixed by Lewis Johns, a longstanding presence behind the desk, it features a number of special guests, including Killswitch Engage’s Jesse Leach on ‘Whose Side Are You On?’ and Svalbard’s Serena Cherry on ‘Last Laugh’. ‘Fallen Star’, the band’s third album via Spinefarm, is a record of dizzying diversity, yet also one that is utterly uncompromising.
