New York, NY (February 11, 2025) – A mysterious new band, Locus Ultra – widely speculated to be Underoath – performed this past weekend aboard the E.N.D. (Emo’s Not Dead) Cruise. The phrase “Locus Ultra,” which translates to “place beyond” in Latin, was included in the artwork for three recently released singles from Underoath. Clips of the band’s pummeling performance can be seen below. Moments after leaving the stage, the below message appeared on screen behind them. Read it after the jump.

WE HAVE BEEN LOCUS ULTRA.

AN IDEA THAT IS HOUSED IN BEING FREE, EXPRESSING LOVE FOR MUSIC, CREATIVITY, HONESTY AND THE PEOPLE THAT SUPPORT THOSE IDEAS. LIFE IS MORE THAN NUMBERS, STATUS, IDENTITY AND PROFIT. IF ANYTHING, THEY ARE THE VERY THINGS THAT DILUTE OUR TRUE PURPOSE.

IN A WORLD THAT IS MARRED BY CHAOS AND BIAS, IT IS RARE THAT PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED, YET ALLOW THEMSELVES TO BE THEIR TRUE SELVES. SOMETIMES PRETENDING TO BE ANYTHING ELSE IS HEALING.

TONIGHT WAS ONE OF FIVE NIGHTS TOTAL THAT THIS BODY OF WORK WILL EVER BE PERFORMED IN IT’S ENTIRETY. OUR GOAL IS TO NOT TRY AND MAKE HISTORY, BUT SHARE A MOMENT IN TIME WITH PEOPLE THAT WE OWE THE WORLD TO.

THE AMOUNT OF ENERGY IT TAKES TO PUT YOUR WHOLE SELF INTO A CREATIVE VENTURE IS EXHAUSTING AND THIS WILL BE A NIGHT THAT WE HOLD DEAR TO OUR HEARTS FOREVER.

THANK YOU TO E.N.D. AND OUR ENTIRE TEAM FOR MAKING THIS DREAM POSSIBLE. WE THANK YOU ALL FOR WATCHING AND BEING A PART OF SOMETHING SPECIAL AND WE HOPE, ALBIET FOR A BRIEF MOMENT, THAT YOU WERE ABLE TO ESCAPE FOR A BIT AND BE YOUR TRUE SELF.

UNTIL WE REACH THE PLACE AFTER THIS ONE, THIS [cut off] THIS LIFE IS ALL WE HAVE. LET’S MAKE [cut off] OF IT. YOU BELONG HERE, EVEN IF IT DOESN’T FEEL LIKE IT AT TIMES.
