After teasing new music last week, singer Oli Sykes has confirmed that Bring Me The Horizon‘s upcoming single will be released next month. The song, called “Parasite Eve,” will arrive on June 10th. The band has already posted snippets of it online, and Sykes sports a sweater with the title on his Instagram post.
The title for the track appears to be taken from the 1998 PlayStation survival video game of the same name. Sykes explained in a new video, “Although the inspiration for the song didn’t come from the current pandemic, as we were writing it the similarities started to get weird, I guess. It felt important for us to carry on with this song in particular because the message really hits differently, because it feels like something we need right now.”
The British group has been writing and recording new music remotely, releasing a series of videos that show how they've managed to work on the songs during the coronavirus pandemic.
Bring Me The Horizon issued its sixth full-length LP, Amo, in early 2019. It featured the Top 10 rock single “Medicine.” The group issued a surprise follow-up, an eight-song set called Music To Listen To… in December of last year.
