Parallel Minds have a video for Bhopal arriving on 6 November, named after the 1984 industrial disaster in India and written as a tribute to the people it killed and the people it did not.
The framing is specific rather than mournful. The band put the song on the human cost of corporate negligence and on a system in which the most vulnerable end up paying, which is a harder reading of Bhopal than the word accident allows.
It belongs to Cairn, which came out in March and runs on that theme throughout: suffering, injustice and resilience, with exploitation and the inequalities left by colonialism as its subjects. Bhopal is the third video from it after Sufero and Sekigahara, and all three take a different historical event.
That is an unusual way to build an album. Most bands who write about history pick one war or one figure. Working through separate tragedies, each with its own song and its own video, turns the record into something closer to a series of reports.
Musically the French band put modern heavy metal, thrash and progressive arrangements together, with the melodies carrying the parts the subject matter will not.
