Event Details

HIGH PARASITE have announced their debut  album!

Titled Forever We Burn, the upcoming  album from the self-described ‘death pop’ band is their debut full-length album, and is scheduled to be released in September this year, via Candlelight Records.

The upcoming debut album was produced by Gregor Mackintosh [PARADISE LOST], who also adds some signature guitar lines; as a body of work, it both delves into the darker recesses of the human condition and heralds the arrival of a new name and a familiar, formidable voice. The name (an acknowledgement of mankind as parasite-in-chief) is HIGH PARASITE; the voice, that of Aaron Stainthorpe – longstanding frontman with doom metal maestros, MY DYING BRIDE.

Speaking about the new project, vocalist Aaron Stainthorpe shares, “the band has been lurking in the shadows, developing, growing, and evolving, and is now ready to unveil its own brand of darkness to the world. Skating the lines between metal, gothic rock and dark synth pop, HIGH PARASITE is here, and death pop is born! 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.”

Formed from the ashes of Headstone in 2005.

The band decided on a more progressive approach but still keeping their doom and grunge roots.

They have shared the stage with such bands as Phil Campbell’s B*st*rd Sons, Memoriam, Valafar and Orange Goblin.
