![]() It’s a lot more aggressive than anything we’ve done for a while. It’s a demonstration to pull you in and get your back up. ![]() We’re inviting people to find the solution with us. This first record is about hope and anger and feels like the sonic equivalent of a riot. “You know like on ‘ Lord Of The Rings‘ where they all sing a song before battle, knowing that they might die but they’re going got persevere and see how it goes? We’re trying to embody that. It’s not the time to say, ‘These days shall pass’ and ‘everything will be OK’, because it won’t fucking be OK unless we fucking do something about it.”Īs for their plans with the “ Post Human” series of releases. It felt like we were making progress and people were standing up to injustice, but maybe we got too complacent because it’s still happening. Look at the Black Lives Matter protests too. This is a moment we all knew was coming one day, but maybe not in our lifetime. That’s what rock music is about – addressing the dark side and processing it. You can’t just brush over it and expect life to go back to normal, because it fucking ain’t. The world needs more and needs to think about it and remember. In our music we’ve always wanted to escape, but there’s been too much escapism and ignoring the problems in the world. After sitting on it for a while, we realised that this was a reason to release it now more than ever. We shelved the song for a bit because it felt bit too close to the bone. Every time there was a news story about it, we’d turn to each other and say ‘ Parasite Eve‘, not realising the magnitude of it all. We’d heard about the pandemic in China, but then the similarities between what we were writing about started to become closer to reality. ![]() Speaking to the aforementioned publication of the song, Sykes offered: “ Parasite Eve” was recorded this past February with origins dating back to 2019. If we can do that, then we can take responsibility for what we’ve done to the planet and become something better than what humans are right now.” The idea behind ‘ Post Human‘ is looking at how we’ve stepped out of evolution and the food chain. That’s cool and I like it, but sometimes you want a soundtrack for a certain occasion and emotion. There’s often been an over-arching theme on our records, but the music has always felt like a collage. That’s one thing we’ve never really done.
