Album Insights and Meaning
The track “Atonement” features distorted guitars and includes a vocalist. Justin Jones characterizes it as an “arena rock choir.” Guitarist Sammy Urwin elaborates on the song’s message: “’Atonement’ addresses those who seek to dominate you. The key to overcoming such manipulation is to rise above their tactics and forge your own path. We chose this single to exemplify the spirit of Employed to Serve. We firmly believe in striving for our goals without letting negativity hinder our ambitions.”
The album, featuring 11 tracks, was produced and mixed by Lewis Jones. It includes guest appearances from Jesse Leach of Killswitch Engage on “Which side are you on?” and Serena Cherry from Svalbard on “The Last Laugh.” “We aim to uphold the legacy of heavy metal traditions,” Urwin adds, “while also ensuring we contribute to its evolution.”
Additionally, the band has announced a UK tour to promote the album, with support from Heavenly Sanctuary and Burner.
