Sleep Token Fans Might Kill Me For This! Black Metal, Employed To Serve, & MORE | MRP #063
Strap in, this episode is going to be a bumpy one!
We kick things off with one of the most polarizing bands in modern metal: Sleep Token. Is Even In Arcadia their most consistent album yet, or just more fuel for the fandom fire? Then, things get darker (and more dangerous) with RawMoor’s En Route—an album that could soundtrack the final boss fight in Elden Ring—followed by the scorching black flame intensity of Mors Silens’ Infernal Legacy.
The roulette wheel spins again as we dive into Metal Archives Roulette, landing in the Dominican Republic with Evalir’s The Awakening EP, a one-man instrumental atmospheric black metal project that soars with cinematic ambition—and crashes into some rough production choices along the way.
But the real highlight? A sit-down with Justine Jones of Employed To Serve. We talk about their crushing new album Fallen Star, how the band evolved from chaotic mathcore beginnings, and the songs they’re most excited to bring to the stage. Plus: working with Will Ramos, Jesse Leach, and Serena Cherry, running Church Road Records, dealing with burnout, and what’s next as they bring the chaos to North America.
If you’re into heavy music, hidden gems, and honest takes with a bit of sarcasm thrown in, this is the episode for you.
