Employed To Serve have released “Absolute Onslaught”, with Andreas Bjulver, singer of Denmark’s Cabal, guesting on vocals.

The favour is mutual and recent: in September Cabal put out “Hurt Me” with Justine Jones, Employed To Serve’s singer, in the same spot. The two bands are running a co-headline tour that starts on 6 November at Patterns in Brighton and ends on 5 December in Lyon, with Cold Culture opening on every date except Damnation Fest in Manchester, where only Cabal play. In between it takes in the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium and France: no Spanish date.

There is no album announced. “Absolute Onslaught” is the third standalone single the Woking band have put out since “Fallen Star”, their fifth full-length, which came out on 25 April 2025 on Spinefarm; the other two are “A Moment Gone Too Soon” and “Dead Reckoning”.
