"Parasite Eve" landed in June 2020 as the second single from Bring Me the Horizon's Post Human: Survival Horror, written by the whole band during the COVID lockdown and produced by singer Oliver Sykes and keyboardist Jordan Fish. It was due out earlier in the month, but the band held it back amid the George Floyd protests.
It takes its name and its dread from the Japanese video game, and its most spine-tingling sound from somewhere much older: a sample of "Erghen Diado", Petar Lyondev's piece as sung by the Bulgarian Female Vocal Choir on Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares, which earned Lyondev a writing credit. From there it lurches between nu metal crunch and electronic rock, with flickers of electropop, a pandemic-era panic attack you can dance to.
