Third Arrow Hits the Mark Fusing Hip Hop, Post-Punk, and Industrial Rhythms With Debut Single “Hyperparasite”

In a world that parades progress and prosperity, the harsh reality for many is still one of deprivation and despair—a system that, like a parasitic beast, feeds on the exploitation of the vulnerable. And now, the world is on the brink of infection with Hyperparasite, the debut single from post-punk provocateur Third Arrow.

Hyperparasite is Third Arrow’s brutal retort to the hollow hum of today’s music scene, a snarling response to a world spiraling into madness. With sharp-edged sounds reminiscent of PIL, Alien Sex Fiend, and Fad Gadget—plus a touch of Pere Ubu’s insanity and Magazine’s menace—this track slices through the facade of civilization to expose the rot beneath.

The brutality isn’t just in the sound; it’s in the unflinching portrayal of a cracked foundation that, despite its promises, perpetuates inequality and suffering. This jagged, post-ironic punch to the gut, laced with eerie spoken word and relentless industrial grind, is the brainchild of a nameless ex-session musician and former Bang Bang Bunny instrumentalist. Third Arrow retools post-punk by fusing it with hip-hop’s grit and dance music’s pulse, creating a sound as fresh as tomorrow’s headlines but deeply rooted in the rebellious soil of its genesis.

Inspired by the struggle to survive in brutal housing conditions reminiscent of the squalor of the Victorian era, “Hyperparasite” delivers an in-depth structural critique of capitalism. The track combines upbeat dance rhythms with industrial sounds, showcasing creative use of new technologies to craft a unique listening experience. Hyperparasite grabs you by the collar, drags you onto the dance floor, and makes you face the music.

Hyperparasite is available on all major streaming platforms. Listen below, or on Spotify:
