EMPLOYED TO SERVE have announced a new album!

The new album, titled Eternal Forward Motion, follows 2017’s The Warmth of a Dying Sun and is scheduled to be released in May this year. The first single from the upcoming record, titled Force Fed, will be released on Friday January 25th.

Speaking about the upcoming album, vocalist Justine Jones says, “Eternal Forward Motion came after five years of perfecting the kind of band that we wanted to be. This is the album that defines who we are as a band and we couldn’t be prouder of it.”

Lyrically, ‘Eternal Forward Motion’ is about a jaded generation struggling to find a purpose and losing daily battles with self-doubt and external influences. Jones continues, “when contemplating what the future holds for one’s self, it can be quite daunting thinking about whether you will ever be truly content with your life and the person that you are. In the fast paced society we live in, it can cause many people to burn out and chase unobtainable expectations of themselves. We are also now faced with the social media boom leading many people to be plagued by self-comparison and fear of missing out. All these distractions can cause one to dwell on what they don’t have and take for granted some the aspects of life that we should be thankful for each day.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have unveiled the track list and artwork for the upcoming record. Both of which are available to view below:
