Alt-rock powerhouses Nova Twins return with feral new single “Piranha”, taken from their hotly anticipated third album, Parasites & Butterflies, out August 29th, 2025 via Marshall Records.
Following recent singles “Monsters” and “Soprano”, the track dives into murkier waters. Anchored by snarling bass, razor-sharp riffs, and fiercely charged vocals, “Piranha” channels unrest and unease, capturing the pressure-cooker atmosphere of the world around us.
“This track explores growing tensions around the world, which can feel overwhelming at times, leaving you unsure of where to start.”, the band shares. “It delves into themes of confrontation, rebellion, and fear. Using imagery of predatory waters, it symbolises vulnerability, power, and questioning authority. “Piranha” also reflects society’s cutthroat nature, but emphasises coming together and supporting each other. There is strength in unity.”
With “Piranha”, Nova Twins continue to carve their own path, unafraid to challenge, question, and provoke. The track offers a powerful glimpse of what’s to come on Parasites & Butterflies, an album that promises to bridge chaos and beauty, strength and vulnerability.
With nods to the raw, chaotic style of The Blair Witch Project, the video captures the ominous, predatory nature at the heart of “Piranha”. Watch the song’s defiant, eerie music video HERE
The album was recorded in Vermont, USA with legendary producer Rich Costey (Foo Fighters, Muse, Deftones, Sam Fender). From front to back, it’s a genre-shattering statement of intent, balancing dancefloor detonators with moments of raw introspection. Full of contrast and scale, it reveals Nova Twins at their most expansive.
Tracklisting is as follows:
- Glory
- Piranha
- Monsters
- Soprano
- Drip
- N.O.V.A
- Sandman
- Hummingbird

In recent months, Nova Twins have delivered a standout TV performance at the 2025 MOBO Awards, ignited chaos at a sold-out OMEARA in London (raising over £32K for WARCHILD in the process), and brought their explosive single “Monsters” to The Jonathan Ross Show on ITV1.
Since bursting out of the independent UK scene, the Mercury Music Prize and two-time BRIT Award nominees have redefined the rulebook of what a modern rock band can achieve. They’ve stormed festival stages from Glastonbury to Summer Sonic, headlined sold-out venues across the globe, toured with the likes of Foo Fighters, Muse, and Bring Me The Horizon, and earned praise from icons like Tom Morello (“an incredible band”) and Elton John (“phenomenal”).
Their impact reaches beyond music. They’ve graced the covers of magazines including Kerrang!, NME, UPSET, DIY, NOTION, Alternative Press, and Rock Sound, and received accolades from the Music Week Women in Music Awards, AIM Awards, Kerrang! Awards, and the Nordoff & Robbins O2 Silver Clef Awards. In 2022, they made history as the first Black rock band to be nominated for the Mercury Prize.
Beyond music, Nova Twins’ Voices For The Unheard initiative amplifies underrepresented artists in the alternative sphere while supporting vital causes like The Black Curriculum. They also spearheaded the introduction of the Alternative category at the MOBO Awards in 2022 and established a Creative Musicianship Scholarship at ICMP to champion future generations of diverse talent.
