#PARASITE EVE BMTH SERIES#

You can stream “Parasite Eve,” now, wherever you stream music. I did a 180 and thought, ‘If it feels uncomfortable to talk about it that probably means I’m talking about something important.” Oli Sykes to KerrangĪs for where the name “Parasite Eve” came from, that also came pre-pandemic, as Sykes shared that he chose the name after an old PlayStation horror survival game of the same title. My main way of processing stuff these days is writing songs and lyrics and getting it out. “I was worried about it, it was scaring me, I needed to process it.

Borrowing the title from a late 1990s action role-playing video game, he came up with the idea for a horror song about a deadly virus. But after working on it while the COVID-19 pandemic began to spread, the band worried the release would be in “bad taste” as it was too “close to the bone.”īut after a few weeks of quarantining and watching the global anxiety playout on TV, the band had a change of heart. 'Parasite Eve' originated in 2019 when frontman Oli Sykes read an article about a Japanese superbug that had become heat resistant because of climate change. In an interview with Kerrang, frontman Oil Sykes shared that the track was initially inspired by climate change and the singer’s fears of the world dying as people began to care less and less about it. With the repetitive lyrics “Please remain calm / The end has arrived / We cannot save you / Enjoy the ride …… Don’t call it a warning / This is a war,” the track discusses feelings of anxiety that come with uncertainty- specifically in this case, the end of the world as we know it. Taking a step back from “amo,” which also debuted in 2019 and received heavy criticism for being a sonic 180 from the band’s previous releases, “Parasite Eve,” brings heavier instrumentals- reminiscent of the band’s album “That’s The Spirit.” 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, embrace it and process what’s going on… ‘Parasite Eve’ is our message of hope, wrapped in sadness and anger.“Parasite Eve,” which made it’s debut at midnight, is the latest single by the band, following 2019’s “Ludens” ‘Parasite Eve’ came from an idea to write a survival horror song, but as the pandemic started to develop, the parallels were so similar it felt so close to the bone we decided to shelve it.

Through apocalyptic electronics and spine-shattering vocals, Parasite Eve is truly a force to be reckoned with and cements Bring Me The Horizon as one of the most innovative bands around today.Įxplaining more of the abnormal context surrounding the track, Oli elaborates: Penned by Oli Sykes and Jordan Fish through remote recordings and video calls, Parasite Eve shows that the new reality of lockdown has not halted the band in their path, but instead acted as further fuel for their creative ammunition.
