Read all the lyrics to Bring Me The Horizon’s “Parasite Eve” on Genius now. Post Human is slated to be an ambitious four-part concept project released throughout 2020. Over the past few months, Bring The Horizon has shared regular vlog updates to keep fans in the loop. Since the group’s 2019 experimental project, music to listen to…, the band has been hard at work in quarantine. “Parasite Eve” arrives ahead of Bring Me The Horizon’s next release, Post Human. “There’s so much to be pissed off about.” “The world doesn’t need light-hearted pop music right now-it needs anthems for anger,” he told NME. Sykes explained that Bring Me The Horizon’s new material is more aggressive than the band’s previous work as a reflection of the times we’re living in.

Although Bring Me The Horizon was at first reluctant to release the song, the band kept a close eye on the news during its quarantine recording sessions and ultimately felt that it was a perfect time to release the song amidst the global turmoil of 2020. Parasite Eve was released by RCA Records on the date of June 25th, 2020.

When it goes into the first verse it’s all about that up-close, claustrophobic feeling, it’s that four-to-the-floor beat: it’s very atonal and in your face like an alarm’s gone off. It felt like the perfect way to open a song that is about essentially that. When I hear vocals like that-maybe because it’s sung in different scales and rhythms to Western music-it has this euphoric feeling, but also because it’s so foreign to me it has this feeling of panic and chaos. In some regions it’s closely linked to ceremonies involving walking over hot coals and they go into this trance. It starts with Bulgarian choir vocals, which is something I really got into at the start of the year and listened to a lot, appreciating the history behind it. Sykes spoke about the sample in a Kerrang! interview: To the one side, to the other side, just like this, just like that Has put his cap askew, just like this, just like that
