UK metallers Employed To Serve have shared a new music video for the song “Sun Up To Sun Down!” The track comes from their stellar 2021 album Conquering! The band will soon announce a deluxe version of the album. Watch the clip here:

 

Sammy Urwin, Employed To Serve lead guitarist explains: “This video was shot on the first leg of our tour with Gojira and Alien Weaponry this summer. We knew that we were going to film some footage on the tour for a music video, but what song we’d use it for wasn’t decided. After the first couple of shows we could sense that the crowds were really connecting with ‘Sun Up To Sun Down’. We decided that we would try and capture as best we could the energy shared between us and the audience, and thanks to the help of our talented friend and videographer Taylor Baron, I think we’ve done just that.

 

The song itself is about addiction and depression,” adds frontwoman, Justine Jones. “The repetition within the song is meant to symbolise the feeling of being in the throes of despair, begging for the day to end and to have some reprieve from intense craving and anxiety, only for it to start over again with no end in sight.”

 

Handpicked by Gojira themselves, Employed To Serve head back out on the road as part of the ‘Fortitude Tour’ this coming February. Beginning in Dublin on Feb 11th 2023, the tour sees them play alongside Gojira and Alien Weaponry at the 10,400 capacity Alexandra Palace, London, before heading over to France to play even bigger rooms.
