British metalcore outfit Employed To Serve have returned with their second new single of 2026, unveiling “A Moment Gone Too Soon” alongside an official music video directed by Morgan Tedd.
The track continues the band’s recent run of new material and arrives as their latest release through Church Road Records, the label operated by vocalist Justine Jones and guitarist/vocalist Sammy Urwin.
Discussing the song’s lyrical themes, the band explained that it serves as a reminder to appreciate the present rather than dwell on the past.
“‘A Moment Gone Too Soon’ touches on something we’re all guilty of, taking what we have for granted and not realising until it’s too late and the sands of time have insidiously slipped through our fingers, until every grain of a reality we once knew exists only in memory. However, this is not a song focused on looking back with rose-tinted glasses, far from it. This is a track that focuses on grabbing the present day with both hands and wringing every bit of happiness and opportunity out of it. At the end of the day, it’s all we truly have.”
Alongside the release of the new single, Employed To Serve have also announced a co-headlining European and UK tour with Danish deathcore outfit Cabal. Support on the trek will come from Cold Culture.
Tickets go on sale Monday, July 20, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. UK time / 11:00 a.m. CEST.
