The track gives a preview of what the band's next album will sound like, which is expected to be released this year.

This Friday, the 10th, Volbeat surprised fans with a new song titled "Parasite". However, the most surprising thing about the release was that the track is less than 40 seconds long.

What initially seemed like just a snippet of a track released as a lyric video, caused a stir when it was released with the same duration on all streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music.

“Parasite” has a kind of punk energy and shows what the band's next album will be like, although details are still unreleased. According to Rob Caggiano , the album should be released sometime this year.

For fans who are still confused: the band's manager confirmed to Consequence of Sound that the song is indeed less than 40 seconds long. Listen to "Parasite" below.
