Pagan's Mind appreciation thread

[m3ta1head]

Any fans here? I have been having a celestial entrance binge the last few days...can't get enough. Some seriously brilliant prog right here.






Jorn Lofstad wrote some seriously tasteful solos for this album...love it!

Jørn Viggo Lofstad is a god! I performed a cover of Aegean Shores last week, awesome band!

Love them. Got all of their albums.



Really like that tapping solo at 5:29. If you buy an album from them you can't really do anything wrong. They are all on an equally high standard. They have some really nice catchy melody lines for a prog metal act.

Another epic listen:



from their last album. damn just noticed that was 2007 - new album is overdue!!!

I didn't even know about God's Equation, hot damn! New album to add to the amazon wishlist

 

[Espaul]

God equation is a bit different, but after a few listens you will love it!

Good man for making a Pagan's mind thread

If you get the chance, you should see them live too! They're awesome live
Last time I saw them I spoke with them for like an half hour or so

I love Jorn's playing as well (How the hell do you put that norwegian o?). It's like his playing has the "balls" and tapping of Eddie and the technical skills of Petrucci, or some shit like that.

Sensational band, outstanding live act, seriously talented, and very pleasant guys. They've demolished ProgPower USA a couple time and, from what I gathered, practically had a better response than Stratovarius when PM opened for them last year on a US tour.

I'm still getting into the new album (Enigmatic: Calling set an unachievable bar), but still think it's better than some folks gave it credit for. Altogether, one of the most distinctive groups in progressive metal and great ambassadors for Norwegian prog.

Sorry for the bump,

BUT I forgot to say: when I spoke to them not so long ago they said that they are working on a new album

New Pagan's Mind release and new Circus Maximus realease soon. This is going to be a good year (or two) for norwegian prog

 

[eaeolian]

We played with these guys last year, and I've seen them several times. Great guys, excellent live band.

 

[November5th]

Great band! It's nice to see them get some appreciation here.Live, they are one of the best acts out there.Very polished and professional.And Nils voice sounds even better live than on CD.Peace.

He does sound sensational. Again referring to Progpower, he did a Queensryche cover of 'Take Hold of the Flame' that was spot-on, and there's no denying their recorded version of 'At the Graves'. Unreal. I did a pretty sprawling interview with them last fall during the Strato tour, and they were all pretty easy-going guys. Jorn's a riot, too.

 

[m3ta1head]

Cool to see fans on here. Anyone know when their next US tour is? Would love to catch them in LA.

 

[UltraParanoia]

Serious bump for this thread.

Easily one of the best bands & definitely 1 of my favourites.
Incredible stuff!

New album this year

 

[Espaul]

^ +1

Here's a couple of vid with material from the new album. I believe Lofstad didn't put his heart into the solo on the second vid tho He's better than that!

LOVE Pagan's mind. Can't say I'm a fan of God's equation AT ALL....But now that this has popped up, maybe I'll go give it another 5 listens....

 

[Islandjam2990]

...want.
