Instead, the song characterises a move back towards the band’s earlier and much heavier style, with unclean vocals, a powerful bass line, and metal-style guitar. The use of genre blending, moving quickly from electric rock to heavy metal and back again, seems at first to be similar to their 2019 album amo, however there is nothing up-beat or pop-rock about ‘Parasite Eve’. The single is intended to represent fear, panic, and confusion, which is done expertly through Bring Me The Horizon’s experimental style.

In an interview with Kerrang, the frontman of Bring Me The Horizon, Oli Sykes stated that their new single, ‘Parasite Eve’, was intended to ‘get your blood pumping, get you p**sed off and thinking about what’s going on.’ This is certainly the case, with the ‘dystopian, cyberpunky, metal feel’ to the track creating an impression of anger and rage throughout, as well as a sense of apocalyptic impending doom.
