Darkwave duo ZETRA unveil a surreal and atmospheric video for The Spider, blending ethereal visuals with haunting melodies in their signature style.
Enigmatic synth rock duo, ZETRA, have released a dreamlike video for their crushingly beautiful single 'The Spider'. Alongside other recent single 'So', 'The Spider' is taken from their forthcoming EP 'Believe', set to be released digitally on August 22nd via Nuclear Blast Records.
On 'The Spider', ZETRA commented:
"The golden thread becomes a web.
The silken strands entice you, but do not linger.
Will you climb to brighter heights?
Or descend into madness.
And ever he waits.
And ever he watches."

"Linger no more in darkness.
Step forth from the shadows.
Zetra has been reborn in blinding light.
Bathe in the warm glow of 'Believe'.
The new EP is coming."
Shrouded in mystery, the UK duo blend elements of shoegaze, synth, and post-punk into a sound that is other-worldly and spellbinding. Emerging from the underground with a haunting visual aesthetic of cloaked figures and vintage analog synths, ZETRA have already begun to carve a devoted cult following.
ZETRA were recently awarded The Great Escape's Steve Strange Award for 2025, following their performance at the festival earlier this year. The award celebrates boundary-breaking new talent and the legacy of the iconic music agent Steve Strange.
Earlier this week, the pair suppoerted mysterious new act PRESIDENT in London.
