This Tuesday, High Parasite, the UK “death pop” outfit led by Aaron Stainthorpe of My Dying Bride, proudly release their new single, »Drag Me Under«. Originally intended for their debut album, they decided to hold it back until now…
High Parasite bassist Tombs explains:
“We all loved this song when we recorded it for our first album, but it was a little different to the other tracks, with more of a Rammstein kind of vibe. So we decided to hold it back… until this moment. We’ve already started recording our second studio album, we’re looking to the future, so now »Drag Me Under« makes perfect sense, a glimpse into what’s to come.”
»Drag Me Under« arrives in tandem with the band’s first headline London outing, lined up for March 17 at The Lexington. The current tour has already taken in multiple shows in Ireland, and will continue into The Netherlands and France.
