Bullet For My Valentine Release New Single ‘Parasite’

---

Following the release of their recent lead single ‘Knives’, Bullet For My Valentine have shared their second single ‘Parasite’ from their upcoming self-titled album.

The new track ‘Parasite’ is set to be the opening on the new album and comes on in a barrage of noise. Its raw sounding nature feels like it’s ready to go off in the pit on BFMV’s tour later this year.

Talking about the track the band comment “‘Parasite’ is an absolute RAGER from start to finish!!! Easily one of the gnarliest tracks we’ve ever written – we couldn’t be more stoked to finally get it out there.”

A video for the track, directed by the band’s creative collaborator Fiona Garden’s, has also come out alongside the release, check it out below.

“For Parasite we just wanted to let the song rip,” Garden’s said. “The intensity and fury of the track tears along, pure performance and vitality. Along the way, in a world defined by blinding light and the phenomenal graphic work of artist Carl Addy, we see this new infinite incarnation of the avatar aM cuts being ritualistically infected and drawn further into limitless oblivion. No locusts were harmed in the making of this video.”

Writing for the new album began pre-pandemic in September 2019, but was halted when the world started to close down in early 2020. Matt Tuck and long-time producer, Carl Bown – who co-produced the band’s 2015 album, ‘Venom’, and produced and mixed ‘Gravity’ – picked up the pace again in June 2020. Together, they hunkered down at Treehouse Studio in Chesterfield, where the remainder of the album was written.

Talking about the album lead guitarist Michael “Padge” Paget said “I think it’s the most ferocious side of Bullet For My Valentine that I’ve ever known… It’s time for us to put out a really angry, heavy, aggressive record. I just can’t wait to grimace on stage!”
