High Parasite, the new band led by Aaron Stainthorpe of My Dying Bride, is now streaming their new doomy single “Wasn’t Human”. And as you might expect from Stainthorpe at this point, there’s a big ol’ vocal hook thrown in there for good measure.
“A femme fatale of the witching order is attempting to draw from the earth, air, and fire an entity to help her nefarious acts in wishing darkness upon all mankind,” said Stainthorpe of the single.
“From a secretive druids’ stone circle, forested in the cold northlands of Yorkshire, the summoning has begun, but who can tell what devilish forces will be brought into the light! This is the very first High Parasite video to actually feature the entire band performing together as a unit in the bowels of a satanic mill lost to the decay of yesteryear.”
The video for “Wasn’t Human” was directed by Shaun Hodson of Loki Films. High Parasite will release their debut album Forever We Burn on September 27. Pre-orders are available here.
On the new group, Stainthorpe added: “This is not a side project. It’s a new touring and recording band, and with Forever We Burn, our debut studio album, we’re showing our love for all things gothic and grand, along with a collective belief that dark music doesn’t have to be confined to the shadows.”
