Employed To Serve share ferocious new single 'Fallen Star'

British metal quintet Employed To Serve have shared their newest single, and the title track from their forthcoming new album, ‘Fallen Star’.

The new offering follows on from last month’s announcement that the band will release their fifth album on 25th April via Spinefarm Records. It doubles as the second track to be lifted from ‘Fallen Star’, following its fierce lead single, ‘Atonement’ which featured deathcore vocalist Will Ramos.

Speaking of their newest release, the band’s frontwoman Justine Jones has said: “’Fallen Star’ is about enduring the burn out of someone close to us. It can be devastating to look on helplessly as someone you care for continues to fly too close to the sun and not learn from it. Sometimes you need to just distance yourself and love them from afar. We felt it should be the title track as it thematically centers around the lyrics of the new record. Breaking bad habits and overcoming the challenges life throws our way.” The band have also shared an accompanying video, as directed by David Brodsky, which you can check out below.

‘Fallen Star’ - which follows on from their 2021 album ‘Conquering - comes produced by Employed To Serve’s regular collaborator Lewis Johns, and also features appearances from Killswitch Engage’s Jesse Leach, and Svalbard vocalist Serena Cherry.
