Bleed The Sky have officially welcomed Monte Barnard (Emberthrone, ex-Alterbeast) to the band as their new vocalist. With this news, the group have also shared a new song titled “The Parasite.“ That track features Chimaira vocalist Mark Hunter and a video for it can be found below:

Barnard said the following about joining the band:

“I’m beyond excited to join forces with the legendary institution that is Bleed The Sky. Their music impacted me as part of a movement that was integral to my musical coming of age and frankly, I’m still pinching myself. The opportunity to create and add to their legacy is one I don’t take lightly.”

The group also commented on the new song:

“‘The Parasite‘ is about humanity’s growing addiction to distraction from the ever encroaching horrors that occupy just outside the periphery of our day to day existence. We constantly seek to ween and cope ourselves from the harsh truths we should be addressing head on. By remaining ignorant and distracted, we only tighten the seal on our inevitable doom.”

Hunter added:

“I am thrilled to lend my voice to the powerful sound of Bleed The Sky‘s ‘The Parasite‘. It’s an honor to collaborate with such talented musicians and be a part of creating something truly unforgettable.”
