The Grayston Unity presents High Parasite!! “This is not a side project. It’s a new touring and recording band, and with ‘Forever We Burn’, our debut studio album, we’re showing our love for all things gothic and grand, along with a collective belief that dark music doesn’t have to be confined to the shadows. It’s a big part of global consciousness and culture, and our plans for the future are as broad as possible” – Aaron Stainthorpe ‘Forever We Burn’ arrives on September 27th 2024, a worldwide release via Candlelight / Spinefarm. The 10 tracks are produced by the legendary Gregor Mackintosh of Paradise Lost, who also adds some signature guitar lines and programming, and as a body of work, ‘Forever We Burn’ heralds the arrival of a new name and a familiar, formidable voice. The name (an acknowledgement of mankind as parasite-in- chief) 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.
