High Parasite is a new gothic doom project fronted by Aaron Stainthorpe, the iconic lead singer of My Dying Bride. Signed to Candlelight Records, High Parasite brings a dark, haunting atmosphere that captures the very essence of gothic and doom metal — combining melancholy melodies, poetic lyricism, and immersive soundscapes into something both sorrowful and powerful.
Emerging from the depths of the UK metal scene, High Parasite unites Aaron Stainthorpe’s unmistakable voice and emotional depth with a rich sonic palette of gothic and doom-inspired heaviness. Drawing on decades of experience at the forefront of doom metal, Stainthorpe leads this new project into darker, more introspective territory, filled with cinematic textures and somber beauty.
With their signing to Candlelight Records, High Parasite are poised to carve out their place among modern gothic doom acts, bringing elegance and intensity in equal measure. Fans of My Dying Bride, Paradise Lost, and Anathema will find familiar shades of mournful grandeur within the band’s sound — but with a distinct new creative identity that sets High Parasite apart.
High Parasite’s music offers a brooding yet beautiful exploration of gothic melancholy and doom-laden emotion. Their debut album, Forever We Burn, showcases the band’s ability to balance crushing heaviness with haunting melody, while their single Cold delivers a chilling, atmospheric experience that captures the project’s signature sound.
