Bring Me The Horizon have unveiled a brand new, cinematic single called 'Parasite Eve'. A dramatic mash-up of genre and mood, the five-minute piece is an Apocalyptic statement with a backbone of hope.

"When we forget the infection will we remember the lessons?" Oli Sykes sings over devastating metal guitars and industrial screeches. Sinister narration takes this single into creepy vibe overdrive.

"Please remain calm. The end has arrived" a female robotic voice says as the song pauses between movements of total chaos and terror. 

The accompanying visuals are a neon-lit, computer-generated body horror journey:

Originally written as a survival horror piece, BMTH shelved the idea and whittled it into the song you hear today: "as the pandemic started to develop, the parallels were so similar it felt so close to the bone we decided to shelve it. As time went on, we started to feel how relevant it was and that instead of shying from it, that we should address the dark side."

'Parasite Eve' is the first track from a series of EPs that will arrive over the coming months.
