CERES Share “Dead Weight”: A Heavy Statement from Missoula’s Rising Metal Force


Missoula, Montana–based metal band Ceres has unleashed their latest single, “Dead Weight,” on June 3, blending heaviness with haunting beauty in a track that marks a new high point for their evolving sound. The track features Cade Chastain and Mike Himber on the saxophone section, underscoring the band's fearless approach to genre fusion.

Opening with thunderous riffs and tight rhythms, Dead Weight hits hard from the start. As the track evolves, it dips into an atmospheric midsection with a standout saxophone solo—adding an eerie, almost cinematic texture before ramping back up to a furious, cathartic finale.

Ceres balances aggression and melody with impressive finesse. Chastain’s guest vocals amplify the emotional weight of the track, while the band’s live-style production keeps things feeling raw, urgent, and authentic.

With Dead Weight, Ceres cements their place as a band to watch in the metal scene—fearless, evolving, and fully in control of their sound. Missoula may be home, but their reach is quickly growing far beyond Montana.
