The overall effect is brilliant, sonically and visually reflecting how the current pandemic feels, and the resulting anxieties felt globally as a result.

The music video only adds to the track’s unsettling sound, with is hectic visuals, gory masks and animalistic movements.

The chorus is even entirely different, with an uncredited voice that sounds remarkably like Poppy, creepily detached and ominously light. Opening with an eerie, echoing mantra, the track is immediately unsettling, before abruptly cutting to a bass-y, thumping soundscape that pulsates throughout your skull. Parasite Eve masterfully creates a sense of unease amo embraced different sonic textures, and it seems like Post Human is going to be no different. The single is a prowling beast, darkly addressing those in the future – when we forget the infection, will we remember the lesson? And, with a gentle sprinkling of Oli Sykes’ iconic screams, it’s fair to say that Parasite Eve packs a punch, imploring everyone to heed its message. Parasite Eve is part of Bring Me’s ambitious Post Human project, a string of tracks imploring humankind to better themselves. Steel City’s own Bring Me The Horizon are back with a thriving quarantine anthem. Please remain calm – the end has arrived.
