High Parasite are an English Gothic metal band formed in Bradford, West Yorkshire in mid 2021. The band was conceived and formed by vocalist Aaron Stanthorpe (known primarily as founder and vocalist of doom metal pioneers My Dying Bride) and songwriter / bassist Danny Lambert (a.k.a. Tombs).

History

The birth of High Parasite started in mid 2021 when Stanthorpe and Lambert began writing and demoing music together. The two had a long-standing friendship and Danny had served as a touring guitar technician for Aaron‘s band My Dying Bride for a number of years as well as being a guitar technician and crewmember for many other bands including Paradise Lost, Katatonia, Phillip H Anselmo, New Model Army, Shed Seven and many others.

After becoming very excited about the music they were creating they decided to form a real band to further progress.

Over the next year the band was formed, bringing in Craig McLaren (a.k.a. Sam Hill ) a close friend of Danny‘s and long-standing member of his previous band on rhythm guitar, Bradford based guitarist Jonny Hunter on lead guitar and drummer Dan Brown. Once formed, the band did not want to announce its existence until everything was in place and ready, avoiding growing up in public as so many new bands do.

The band recorded a self funded 4 track demo in Nov 2022 at No Studio in Manchester with engineer / producer Joe Clayton on the advice of Gregor Mackintosh (Paradise Lost).

The band were very happy with the resulting demo and the decision was made to seek a label to work with going forward.

Over the next few months the demo was sent to numerous metal and hard rock labels and at one point the band found themselves with 6 deal offers on the table. The band decided to sign with Spinefarm/Candlelight records (a subsidiary of Universal Music) in mid 2023.

The debut album “Forever We Burn” was recorded between August and December 2023 at Chairworks studio in the UK, produced by Gregor Mackintosh and engineered by David Watts. It was mixed / mastered by Lawrence MacKrory at Rory Sound Studios in Sweden. Lawrence’s previous work included albums by Katatonia, Bloodbath and Graveworm.

The band was officially announced to the world on May 30th 2024, accompanied by the release of the first single and Loki films produced video for the track “Let it Fail”.
