High Parasite release new single ‘Drag Me Under’

High Parasite, the UK ‘Death Pop’ outfit led by Aaron Stainthorpe of My Dying Bride, release new single, “Drag Me Under”. Originally intended for their debut album, they decided to hold it back… 

HP bassist, Tombs, explains,

“We all loved this song when we recorded it for our first album, but it was a little different to the other tracks, with more of a Rammstein kind of vibe. So we decided to hold it back… until this moment. We’ve already started recording our second studio album, we’re looking to the future, so now ‘Drag Me Under’ makes perfect sense, a glimpse into what’s to come.”
