If you were descending into BMTH’s futuristic and murky metropolis, this is the video that would play on those tiny aeroplane screens, warning you about the virus while at the same time keeping you pacified for landing. You could also make the leap to a full-on political statement at one point, Oli Sykes asks, ‘When we forget the infection, will we remember the lesson?’ There are beings going to war, shapes of bodies trying to touch, and a Parasite Eve-style nurse brandishing syringes. Perhaps they just didn’t expect their answer to arrive so soon.Īnd there’s the video – an aesthetic relative of the three listed above, with references to the game and the pandemic. Like their friend Grimes in the pop world, Bring Me have already considered what the future might sound and feel like.
See the on-the-nose gem: ‘When life is a prison and death is a door / this isn’t a prison this is a war’, followed by a window-shattering breakdown that’s heavier than you might expect from them nowadays, and feels like nu metal remade for 2020. There’s so much to be pissed off about.Bring Me have long been the kings of casual aphorisms, and Parasite Eve is no exception. The world doesn’t need light-hearted pop music right now – it needs anthems for anger.

"It's a lot more aggressive than anything we’ve done for a while. They’ll each be tonally different with their own sound and mood," he continued.

The videogame connection doesn't stop there the song features additional production from Mick Gordon, the composer behind Doom Eternal's OTT demon-destroying soundtarck. "As time went on, we started to feel how relevant it was and that instead of shying from it, that we should address the dark side, embrace it and process what’s going on… 'Parasite Eve' is our message of hope, wrapped in sadness and anger.” Listen below via the gritty new music video.īefore the release of BMTH's new single, if you'd Googled 'Parasite Eve', you'd have come across the 1998 PlayStation game of the same name: a survival-horror RPG developed by legendary Final Fantasy developers Square. " came from an idea to write a survival horror song, but as the pandemic started to develop, the parallels were so similar it felt so close to the bone we decided to shelve it," frontman Oli Sykes explains. The single was recorded in quarantine but written last year, before the COVID pandemic gripped the world. 'Please remain calm/The end has arrived/ We cannot save you/ Enjoy the ride.
