45. Employed To Serve – “Eternal Forward Motion”

Back to this country for one of the finest new bands that we have to offer. Part Hardcore outfit and part Death Metal Band, they play a highly politicized hybrid of the two styles. This is angry music for a de-enfranchised and alienated youth. I love this because it is metal as protest music. Our music is powerful but we seldom use to scream at the inequality and futility of this world. This is brutal heavy music used as a loud-hailer to call out the injustices they see all around them. They also wear their emotional fragility on their sleeves as “Eternal Forward Motion” touches on depression, anxiety and suicide. Truly a twenty first century metal album and one that reinvents our music as the soundtrack of the forthcoming revolution.
