Breakout alt-rock sensation Nate Vickers returns with his rawest release yet: “Parasite”, out now via Oxide Records. The gripping new single dives into the darker corners of Vickers’ signature sound, exposing emotional wounds and hard-won self-discovery. Check out the official video below.
“Parasite” is a reflection of a period in my life where I lost sight of who I was as an artist. I found myself surrounded by influences that clouded my judgment and led me away from my instincts, leaving me in a place of deep self-doubt. For a while, I wasn’t creating from a place that felt genuine. This song marks a turning point—a moment of clarity and reclamation. Writing it was part of the process of reconnecting with myself and finding the courage to trust my own voice again.
