‘Fallen Star’, the explosive fifth album from Employed to Serve, marks a thrilling evolution in the band’s journey — a bold, genre-defying statement that blends metalcore ferocity with melodic ambition, electronic flourishes, and arena-sized aspirations. This is not just another metal record from them — it’s a reinvention.
From crushing riffs and punishing breakdowns to soaring clean vocals and atmospheric synths, Fallen Star explores new sonic territories without losing the band’s relentless energy or raw intensity. Tracks like « Treachery, » « Now Thy Kingdom Come, » and « From This Day Forward » show just how far the band has come — and how far they’re willing to go.
The album also features standout guest appearances from some of heavy music’s most dynamic voices, including Will Ramos (Lorna Shore), Serena Cherry (Svalbard), and Jesse Leach (Killswitch Engage), each adding their own unique fire to the mix.
While some early singles sparked debate, the full album reveals the depth, diversity, and power that makes ‘Fallen Star’ one of Employed to Serve’s most exciting releases yet. It’s a record that challenges expectations, rewards repeated listens, and captures a band at the peak of its creative powers.
