High Parasite, the self-described “death pop” outfit fronted by former My Dying Bride vocalist Aaron Stainthorpe, have unveiled a new standalone single, “The Screams That Come.”
The track was produced by Paradise Lost guitarist Gregor Mackintosh, while Lawrence Mackrory, whose credits include Meshuggah and Katatonia, handled the mixing.
Discussing the band’s sound and their latest offering, High Parasite explained:
“We’ve coined the term ‘Death Pop’ to define our music; we definitely have a strong affinity with all things gothic and dark, but at the same time we’re collectively drawn to strong hooks and melodies, to choruses that stick in the mind. I guess we walk a shadowy, sometimes twisted path between those two worlds; you can hear it on ‘The Screams That Come,’ and even more on the second album. It’s like the vampire’s smile: seemingly welcoming, at least at a distance, but boy, those teeth are razor sharp!”
The new single arrives as High Parasite continue working toward their sophomore album, which is currently expected to arrive in early 2027.
Before then, the band are set to take the stage at The Albany Arcade in Halifax, UK on Halloween, October 31st.
