October 2025 UK Tour with Paradise Lost Confirmed

Today, UK outfit HIGH PARASITE, led by Aaron Stainthorpe of My Dying Bride, unveil their brand-new single, “Cold.” Though previously unreleased, the track has become a staple of the band’s live set and arrives alongside a music video, available below.

Bassist/Vocalist Tombs comments on the single:

“'Cold' was lyrically inspired by Plato's analogy of the cave, an allegory used to illustrate the relationship between reality and illusion, the journey from ignorance to knowledge. The idea of a person realising too late in life that there is no God, no heaven, no hell, no divine retribution, no absolution, and the panic and anger they would feel when it dawns on them that they are truly alone and can only hold themselves responsible for their actions.”

In addition, “Parasite,” taken from their debut studio album 'Forever We Burn,' has been newly remixed by acclaimed producer Lewis Johns (Employed To Serve, Earthtone9, Loathe). This updated version is now available on all major streaming platforms, having previously only been accessible via YouTube.

Produced by Gregor Mackintosh (Paradise Lost), 'Forever We Burn' was released on September 27th, 2024, supported by a series of singles and videos.

Having completed a successful UK tour with Cradle of Filth last year, and more recently a short stint with Unto Others, HIGH PARASITE play a one-off show with Cradle of Filth on July 6th at Epic Studios in Norwich; they then continue their run of European festivals, including first-ever appearances at the UK’s Bloodstock event in August and the Eindhoven Metal Meeting in December.
