Employed To Serve announces new album, releases single featuring Lorna Shore’s Will Ramos

Employed To Serve has returned with their new single “Atonement,” featuring Will Ramos of Lorna Shore. The band has also announced their first new album in four years, “Fallen Star,” set for release on April 25. The single is accompanied by a music video inspired by ‘The Office,’ filmed at the show’s iconic location in Scranton, PA.

Guitarist and songwriter Sammy Urwin explains the meaning behind “Atonement”:

“The song takes aim at those who try to lord their power over you. The only way to defeat these people is by rising above their behavior and pushing forward on your own path. We wanted to lead with this single because it encapsulates the ethos of Employed To Serve as a whole. We’re strong believers in working hard and not letting life and negative people affect your goals and aspirations.”

Vocalist Justine Jones shared insights about filming the video:

“The studio was a shrine to the show, and Dwight, which was fun to explore in between filming! We wanted to portray someone in power/authority trying to wear down their captive through aggression. I found it very hard to keep a straight face while choking out Sammy, but by take 15 or so I got more into it as the jetlag and hot weather made me feel more unhinged…”

“Fallen Star” was produced and mixed by Lewis Johns and features notable guest appearances, including Killswitch Engage‘s Jesse Leach on “Whose Side Are You On?” and Svalbard‘s Serena Cherry on “Last Laugh.”

The band will tour in April with Celestial Sanctuary and Burner, with dates including:

• April 21: Wolverhampton, KK’s Steel Mill
• April 22: Glasgow, The Cat House
• April 23: Leeds, The Key Club
• April 24: Cardiff, Clwb Ifor Bach
• April 25: London, O2 Academy Islington
