Sykes also revealed that Bring Me the Horizon has plans to release FOUR new albums in 2020, a series of releases under the title Post Human. That’s what rock music is about – addressing the dark side and processing it.” You can’t just brush over it and expect life to go back to normal, because it fucking ain’t. The world needs more and needs to think about it and remember. In our music we’ve always wanted to escape, but there’s been too much escapism and ignoring the problems in the world. After sitting on it for a while, we realised that this was a reason to release it now more than ever. “We shelved the song for a bit because it felt bit too close to the bone. The band began recording it in February, but then hit a crossroads: As front man Oli Sykes said in a new NME interview, the song’s inspiration came from Sykes reading about a Japanese superbug resistant to climate change. Interestingly, Bring Me the Horizon worked on “Parasite Eve” before the pandemic took hold. “Parasite Eve” is the second new song premiered by Bring Me the Horizon in recent months, following 2019’s “Ludens”: Gotta feeling in your stomach, ‘cause you know that it’s coming for you l Thematically, the song seems perfectly suited for these dark, twisted days caused by the COVID-19 pandemic: Musically, the song picks up where Bring Me the Horizon’s 2019 album Amo left off, a mash-up of styles that coalesces together into a frantic frenzy of energy.

Lyrically and thematically relevant and visually bewildering and haunting, the video for the song features lightning-quick editing, jarring colors and bizarre visuals (an eight-armed CGI woman, for example). On Thursday, the shape-shifting English rock/metal/experimental/electronic band premiered a new song, “Parasite Eve,” and it’s quite an adventure. You bring the anxiety, Bring Me the Horizon will bring the soundtrack to the end of the world.
