HIGH PARASITE

Dark and dramatic Gothic Metal formation

Wednesday 18 March 2026

The name is High Parasite; the voice, that of Aaron Stainthorpe, longstanding frontman with doom metal maestros, My Dying Bride.

As a revered and recognised performer, a founding member of MDB and singer with the groundbreaking act for over three decades, the spotlight will doubtless focus on Aaron’s distinctive profile to start with; pull back the red velvet curtains, however, and the figure of bassist / vocalist / songwriter Tombs looms large and loud, a crucial player in the creation and launch of High Parasite as a living, breathing entity.

All of the songs carry the Stainthorpe / Tombs stamp, the latter contributing on the vocal front throughout, and together they form the beating heart of a five-piece outfit fleshed out by Sam Hill (rhythm guitar), Jonny Hunter (lead guitar) and Dan Brown (drums).

The bands first studio album, ‘Let It Fail’ is a memorable, if bitter taste of what’s to follow – big riffs, big choruses, big grooves, a nod to electronic and industrial music, plus a sing / scream balance tailored to the needs of the songs. Heather Thompson (Tapping The Vein) provides haunting additional vocals, having previously guested with Paradise Lost.
