Employed To Serve has recently unveiled the deluxe edition of their latest studio album, Conquering. The updated version of the album boasts an impressive selection of new content, featuring four additional tracks that showcase the band’s versatility through a blend of fresh material, remixes, and live performances.
The album also features a new cover image that enhances the overall visual appeal of the release.
The brand new recording is “Take Back Control,” a typically full-on number produced and mixed by Lewis Johns, who worked with the band on the Conquering album itself; the Remix, meanwhile, is an inventive re-working of Conquering track “Sun Up To Sun Down,” featuring New Zealand metal three-piece, Alien Weaponry; while the two live tracks were recorded last year on the European Gojira tour.
Conquering was released via Spinefarm on September 17, 2021 to mass critical acclaim — landing #4 in Metal Hammer’s albums of the year list and #6 in Kerrang! Conquering is a fully realized metamorphosis into the band they’ve always wanted to be.
Four albums in, and a steady stream of accolades in tow, Employed To Serve’s meteoric rise from genre hopefuls to becoming one of UK metal’s most consistently captivating bastions is indisputable.
