EMPLOYED TO SERVE

Eternal Forward Motion SPINEFARM

-

Woking’s Employed To Serve have been kicking ass since 2012, getting progressiv­ely more attention. 2017’s sophomore effort,

The Warmth Of A Dying Sun, was positively received, but the grand step up the quintet made on third album Eternal Forward Motion was still a shock to many. Still full of their trademark harsh, sharp hardcore retching, …Motion also added huge slabs of groove and more moments of immediate chant-along sloganeeri­ng to the mix. The results gave fans of both Converge and Pantera an album to cherish, with the wild, jerking panic attack of Dull Ache Behind My Eyes sitting snuggly alongside the quicksand-thick, stomp and pound of Force Fed. This was the result of a group of young musicians ingesting every facet of heavy music, chewing it all up and then brilliantl­y spitting it all back into our faces, in the process becoming one of the UK’S very best bands.
