French modern Progressive Metallers PARALLEL MINDS blending the rigor of Thrash, the harmonic richness of Prog and the majesty of Power Metal.

After three albums released on renowned labels (Brennus Music, Pitch Black Records, M&O Music / M&O Office), these top performers are now returning in overwhelming form:
With CAIRN, their fourth album with strong narrative depth and an international focus, the band is now establishing itself as one of the most important bands on the European Metal scene.

CAIRN is not just an album – it is a conceptual work, a 61-minute journey through suffering, memory and resilience. Each track explores the mark left by humanity in its constant struggle against destruction and oblivion. The album transcends cultural borders to offer a deeply human and universal Metal fresco.

CAIRN is a large-scale album, designed for full immersive listening while featuring powerful and striking tracks able to stand on their own as singles.

🗓️ The outstanding group recently presented the first new single ”Sufero” from CAIN, on Jan. 11. The album release is scheduled for March – the release date will be March 10, 2026

The Band says about it:

“‘Sufero’ is a raw and incendiary track from PARALLEL MINDS’ upcoming album, ‘CAIRN’. Driven by massive riffs, a pounding rhythm, and relentless tension, the song encapsulates all the emotional intensity and determination that permeates the album.
Like the cairn, a universal symbol of life and legacy across many civilizations, ‘Sufero’ evokes the relentless struggle to build oneself stone by stone, in pain and rage, not only to survive, but to leave a mark, a beacon for those who come after.
By integrating ethnic and multicultural influences into a resolutely aggressive Metal approach, the album gives this struggle a timeless and collective dimension. Between unapologetic aggression and symbolic depth, ‘Sufero’ strikes like a manifesto: move forward, resist, guide, whatever the cost.”
