Their album covers strangely induce fantasies of dirty, magical, cold sex with the slutty whore wizards.
Then you will be delighted to hear that they are all made by their singer; Nils K. Rue

Such a talented band, definitely among the best prog bands out there.

Here's a song from their upcoming album.
The player is on this site: THE METAL MADMAN - SPECIAL WEB STREAM
Unfortunately you will have to listen to 114 minutes of music(generic heavy metal) before you get to the pagan's song.
Or if you want to DL directly a friend of mine put it up on the wide web ^^

Got the new album yesterday.
First, Newbury Comics had an edition with two bonus songs, fold out packaging, with a fatty booklet and a free POSTER. $12. Grab em if you can.
Second - the packaging. The cover art is the best Nils has done yet. Holy crap. The color change is a difference, but it all looks great. Tons of cool little details. The booklet is also awesome. The typical lyrics and such, but then there's a separate interview/info section on every band member. Best question - each member is asked their favorite Steinar (the bassist) story. Also, after that there is a section where Nils explains the story of each song in detail. I honestly haven't sat down and devoured an insert booklet like this in a long, long time.
As for the music? HELL FUCKING YEAH. This album was worth the wait. The first song alone, "Eyes Of Fire", sets up the album quite well.
Oh yes ... if you're looking for guitar solos? Yes, lots and lots of "what if eddie van halen hadn't become a useless lush" face ripping guitar solos. I absolutely am a born again Jorn fanboi.

Finally picked up the new album yesterday, listening to it now, great stuff
I confess I hadn't listened to them before this, but I'm probably going to end up picking up their catalog now.

Just bought it 3 minutes ago! I'm on the 2nd track "Eyes of Fire" right now. Woo boy... this is a good'n
EDIT:
Technomancer, that would be wise. Celestial Entrance and Enigmatic: Calling are absolutely critical must haves. God's Equation and Infinity Divine are good as well, but not quite like the aforementioned IMHO.

This stuff is pretty good, I had avoided other links of it generally as I expect 98% to have screamo (yeah yeah, screamo is its own general not all screaming, sure thing, I know, don't care) vocal stuff going on and don't bother.
I shall need to keep listening.

If you guys enjoy PM, you should check out one of Jorn Viggo's side projects: Beautiful Sin (female fronted power metal, but with some 80's style riffing)

This is also one of the bands Jørn Lofstad's played in.
The "legendary" Jørn Lande ^^ Really cheesy, but a guilty pleasure!

It's one of the better albums to come out so far this year. I think it even topped God's Equation.
For some reason I wasn't that excited for it, but I ended up liking it a bit more than some of the albums I was more excited for.

I know the feeling!
I didn't like "Gods Equation" one bit when it was released, but then it grew on me and now it's awesomesauce!
