High Parasite Unleashes New Single 'The Screams That Come' Amidst Metal Mayhem

UK's dark sorcerers set the stage ablaze with their haunting new track and upcoming performances.

Today, the UK’s rising metal force, High Parasite, helmed by the legendary Aaron Stainthorpe of My Dying Bride fame, has unleashed a new stand-alone single titled 'The Screams That Come.' This spine-chilling track is now available via Spinefarm, complete with a captivating visualizer that promises to pull you into their shadowy world.

Produced by the iconic Gregor Mackintosh of Paradise Lost and mixed by the masterful Lawrence Mackrory (known for his work with the likes of Meshuggah and Katatonia), 'The Screams That Come' serves not only as a standalone anthem but also as a herald of their imminent mainstage performance at London Metalfest 2026. Fans can catch High Parasite at the Electric Ballroom in Camden, where they’ll share the stage with Swedish doom titans Candlemass, ensuring a night of unparalleled metal mayhem.

Mark your calendars because the band will also be hosting a signing session at Raven Records in Camden at 7:30 PM, just a stone's throw from the venue. This is your chance to meet the architects of 'Death Pop'—a term they’ve coined to encapsulate their dark yet melodic sound that intertwines gothic vibes with infectious hooks.

“We walk a shadowy, sometimes twisted path between those two worlds,” High Parasite explains. “You can hear it on 'The Screams That Come,' and even more on our second album. It’s like the vampire’s smile: seemingly welcoming, at least from a distance, but boy, those teeth are razor sharp!” Dive into the visualizer below to catch a glimpse of their eerie allure.

Since their debut album 'Forever We Burn' dropped in September 2024, High Parasite has been relentless on the road, dominating stages across the UK and Europe. They’ve graced major tours with legends like Cradle Of Filth and Paradise Lost, and left audiences enthralled at festivals including Bloodstock and Brutal Assault. The band has recently confirmed a Halloween headlining gig on October 31 at the Albany Arcade in Halifax, which will likely close out their 2026 live endeavors.

In the interim, expect new tunes as they toil away in the studio on album number two, set to drop early next year. Hold onto your horns, because more details and music are on the horizon!
