Employed To Serve emerged from the British hardcore scene with an intense blend of metalcore and post-hardcore ferocity, carving out a reputation for confrontational yet cathartic music with technical prowess. Formed in 2012 by the dynamic duo of Justine Jones and Sammy Urwin, the band has consistently pushed the boundaries of heavy music, presenting themes that deal with personal struggle, societal issues, and the drive to overcome adversity. They hail from Woking, Surrey, where they began as a two-piece project before expanding into a formidable quintet, known for their relentless energy and punishing live performances.

The group's discography shows a compelling evolution, from the raw beginnings to their most refined output. Among their most notable works is the acclaimed album "The Warmth of a Dying Sun" released in 2017, which earned them significant attention in the underground metal community and a win at the Heavy Music Awards for Best Album. Employed To Serve has continued to grow in stature and complexity with releases like "Eternal Forward Motion" in 2019 and the ambitious "Conquering" in 2021, which later saw a deluxe edition with additional material. The band's work ethic and innovative approach to modern metal have garnered a loyal following and critical accolades, making them a force to be reckoned with in the hardcore and metal scenes.
