MUMBAI: Within Ceres, a modern metal outfit from Goa, India, are back with a fresh single Untether, scheduled to release on 25th December 2020. The song itself is about the story’s protagonist or user, disconnecting himself from the virtual world. The song is a follow-up to the virtual experience first seen in their debut concept EP Skyless. In Untether, a system-wide error forces the protagonist to re-engage with reality. He craves to reconnect with the unreal. He has flashbacks of his time within Ceres, which haunt him as he struggles to cope.

The song will be released with an animated video and artwork made by Jubesco Fernandes.

Musically, the song is an aggressive mix of heavy instrumentation, and vocals mixed with epic choruses, to bring out or mimic the emotions of anxiety and contempt the protagonist is experiencing.

Within Ceres’ critically acclaimed debut EP Skyless received appreciation from all parts of the world, India included. The band looks forward to putting more releases out soon, and are warming up to more due in 2021. To know more about their debut release, you can visit this folder.
