Employed To Serve have shared their first new music since the release of 2025 album ‘Fallen Star’, and it is an absolute piledriver.

Titled ‘Dead Reckoning’, it is everything that modern heavy music should embody and exhibit. A riff that feels akin to the most brutal of deathcore, matched with the sort of grandiose and hedonistically gritty breakdowns, it pummels you from beginning to end in some style. But the most impressive part is just how brilliantly melodic it still feels. It’s that sort of control of your own chaos that sets the band apart again and again, especially when it concerns output as furious and unrelenting as this.

Guitarist Sammy Urwin had this to say about it:

“When the track was being written, it was one of those situations where it exploded into existence, rather than having been carefully crafted“.

Whilst vocalist Justine Jones had this to add:

“Dead Reckoning definitely taps more into our darker side and serves as a conduit to blow off steam. We hope the listeners get the same release from the track that we do.”

It’s fucking beast, basically,
