That’s what rock music is about-addressing the dark side and processing it. You can’t just brush over it and expect life to go back to normal, because it fucking ain’t. The world needs more and needs to think about it and remember. In our music, we’ve always wanted to escape, but there’s been too much escapism and ignoring the problems in the world. After sitting on it for a while, we realised that this was a reason to release it now more than ever. We shelved the song for a bit because it felt bit too close to the bone. Every time there was a news story about it, we’d turn to each other and say “Parasite Eve,” not realising the magnitude of it all. We’d heard about the pandemic in China, but then the similarities between what we were writing about started to become closer to reality. Musically, it was influenced a lot by Oli Sykes playing a game called DOOM Eternal, as well as the contributions of the game soundtrack artist Mick Gordon, giving it a futuristic and cyber overlay. The entity seeks to replace humanity with superior organisms that have control over their own DNA, and considers humanity to be a parasite leeching off the planet.Īlso, when asked about what would he like to achieve on his last day alive, Oli Sykes said:Ī speed run on Parasite Eve’s hardest setting.
The game tells the story of a cop named Aya who is fighting against a biological entity that calls itself Eve, who formed when a mitochondrial cell mutated and evolved, eventually becoming self-aware and seeking a host beyond humanity.Įve threatens all life on Earth by causing her victims to spontaneously combust. But for now keep fighting the good fight and stay tuned. I know you will all understand because we have the best fans in the world and I promise you we won’t make you wait too long and the good news is more music will be coming soon after “Parasite Eve” too.
But with the incredible movement that is taking place currently we don’t feel comfortable releasing and promoting anything that takes the focus off what’s important right now. So as some of you know we were planning on releasing a new track this week.
The song was expected to be released on 2020, June, 10th, but was postponed due to the George Floyd protests and all Black Lives Matter protests around the world.
