HIGH PARASITE featuring AARON STAINTHORPE releases new single 'Drag Me Under'
18-03-2026
HIGH PARASITE, the U.K. “death pop” outfit led by former MY DYING BRIDE frontman Aaron Stainthorpe, has released a new single, “Drag Me Under”. Originally intended for HIGH PARASITE‘s debut album, “Forever We Burn”, which came out in September 2024, the band decided to hold it back — until now.

HIGH PARASITE bassist/vocalist Danny “Tombs” Lambert 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.”
HIGH PARASITE released its debut album, “Forever We Burn“, in September 2024 via Candlelight/Spinefarm.
“Forever We Burn” was produced by Gregor Mackintosh of PARADISE LOST. The LP — with Stainthorpe and Lambert at the helm — blended metal, gothic rock, and dark synth-pop into a powerful and emotionally raw sound.
Last October, MY DYING BRIDE officially parted ways with Stainthorpe. The news came less than a year after MY DYING BRIDE recruited singer Mikko Kotamäki (SWALLOW THE SUN) to front the band for its live appearances in 2025.
