Like all the best ghouls, High Parasite appeared from nowhere. A collaboration between bassist and chief songwriter Tombs and My Dying Bride frontman Aaron Stainthorpe, they arrived fully-formed earlier this year, and released a debut single (Let It Fail) that was an instant, indisputable goth metal banger.
In fact, High Parasite have been steadily gestating in the shadows for three years. Tombs, who works as a guitar tech for several notable metal bands, was working on some new songs and decided to ask his friend Aaron to contribute some vocals. Their partnership immediately clicked, and one well-received demo tape later, High Parasite were signing a record deal and evolving into a serious proposition.
