EMPLOYED TO SERVE

Heavy metal is more than just music. For some, it is a fully fledged lifestyle, woven into their DNA. This is something Employed To Serve embodies. After rising from road warrior martyrs paying their dues to staking their claim as arena-ready contenders following a huge tour with Gojira, they’re here to take pride of place on the heavy metal world stage with their new album ‘Fallen Star’.

Vocalist Justine Jones and guitarist /co-vocalist Sammy Urwin first met in their teens, starting the band with the intention of standing shoulder to shoulder with the local scene bands they admired. Now, after evolving from the feral mathcore chaos of their early EPs to detonating a full-throttle career high with 2021 album ‘Conquering’, they’re clearly lifers; make that lifers with a mission…

Employed To Serve have played every type of big show imaginable, from Bloodstock through to Glastonbury in the UK, and Hellfest, Wacken and Roskilde across Europe, but pulverising arenas with Gojira reshaped their perceptions of just how far you can take what is essentially heavy, impervious music…

In the journey ahead, Employed To Serve will play every gig as if it’s their last. You won’t want to take your eyes off Justine as she prowls the stage, or Sammy as he peels off evil riffs with a cheek-to-cheek grin, leaving the rest of the band to bring a ferocity that can flatten a town.

“We’re band rats,” laughs Sammy. “We’re lifers. This is who we are.”

“Yeah!” chuckles Justine. “I mean, what else are we going to do?”

Employed To Serve have come, have seen, have conquered and now reign supreme as one of Britain’s shining lights, hell bent on forging their legacy of Heavy Metal Unity. Long may it continue.
