Employed To Serve will release the deluxe edition of their latest album Conquering through Spinefarm on March 10th. The release will feature several bonus tracks including a new song called “Take Back Control” and live versions of two tracks. A new version of the song “Sun Up To Sun Down“, which is available below, features a contribution from Alien Weaponry, and is also featured on the deluxe version of the album.
Justine Jones, the frontwoman of the band, offered the following on the collaboration:
“We always find it exciting to rework an already finalized song, and when the idea of doing it to a track from our latest album Conquering came up, the obvious choice was ‘Sun Up to Sun Down.’”
The idea of re-working a track is to add a new dimension to it, and what better way than bringing in new musicians to alter the entire DNA of the song. We asked the guys in Alien Weaponry if they would be up for this collaboration whilst on tour with them last summer. We thought their vocal stylings could really add something to ‘Sun Up…‘.
They seemed as enthusiastic about the idea as we were, so when we got back from tour, we sent them the track to add their parts and we were stoked on the outcome! It’s also rather poetic, due to the time difference when the sun is rising here in the UK, it’s setting in their home country of New Zealand.”
