Author Benedetta Baldin - 30.5.2026
With the release of a brand-new single, “Dead Reckoning,” British heavy metal band Employed To Serve has started to move on from their fourth studio album, “Fallen Star”, as per theprp. It is “an ode to those finding their own way and using their gut instinct as their only source of guidance,” according to a news release. This new song is released by Urwin and Jones’ own Church Road Records label, whereas “Fallen Star” came through Spinefarm. The group once again collaborated with director Murry Deaves (OBEYER, Love Is Noise) for the music video that you can see below. The band offered some comments about the song.
When the track was being written, it was one of those situations where it exploded into existence, rather than having been carefully crafted. – Sammy Urwin
‘Dead Reckoning‘ definitely taps more into our darker side and serves as a conduit to blow off steam. We hope the listeners get the same release from the track that we do. – Justine Jones
