(2000 – present)

Previously known as Silverspoon, having issued the ‘Sink Or Swim’ demo under their former name, PAGAN’S MIND came into being during mid 2000. Frontman Nils K. Rue had previously sang for Sunset Strip. Guitarist Thorstein Eugen Aaby had previously been employed by acts such as Deadline and Sunset Strip whilst drummer Stian Lindaas Kristoffersen has experience with WOODSTONE, King’s Quest and Sunset Strip. Rue, alongside Carnivora members Tore Moren and bassist Bjarne Torud, in association with erstwhile Street Legal drummer Bjorn Olav Bol Ladval and ex-Circus Maximus keyboard player Espen Storø also operate the Ozzy Osbourne tribute band Ozzmosis.

Signing to the Facefront label the group adopted the revised title and introduced new members guitar player Jorn Viggo Lofstad of Cry Free and Trivial Act bass player Steinar Krokmo. Following recording of the debut ‘Infinity Divine’ album, produced by none other than TNT guitarist Ronni Le Tekro, the band also incorporated keyboard player Ronny Tegner.

Stian Kristoffersen, re-billed as ‘Mr. Thunderforce’, featured on the debut ‘Reaping The Worldwinds’ album from Electro Metal act Dimension F3H led by Limbonic Art mentor Morfeus (a.k.a. Krister Dreyer). He would be joined by his colleague Steinar Krokmo on bass for live work with this unit.

Progressive para salir a viajar por la carretera, no se por qué me da esa sensación. Los grupos decentes de new wave también me dan esa sensación. Pagan's Mind por siempre!!

@EndKampf: That must've been the first time I ever saw someone call a band with 15k listeners "overrated".

Good band but overrated. Seems like they're on their way downhill now.

I also got into this band through their latest album and can't see what they big deal is; I fucking love it. Then again, I haven't heard their old shit.

I'd heard of PM a lot but never tried any until recently, when I got God's Equation. The album seems to have a bit of a bad rap, and I can kind of understand why: to fans of power prog, the more experimental or alternative influences in the album would be a bit of a shock. But as someone who went into it without any preconceptions, I think it's a perfectly enjoyable album. Some songs aren't so good, others are, and all told it's pretty solid and fairly memorable. The Bowie cover impessed me too. 8/10 from me.
