Pagan's Mind
« on: April 07, 2011, 08:59:16 AM »
I haven't seen much talk about this band. Given that they'll be releasing their 5th album in a month or two I thought I could bring it up. I like how the band has been becoming better along the years, reaching a great level in God's Equation.

For those of you who haven't heard anything from them, here is a great song.

I think most people here write them off as super generic cheesy prog metal. But I love them.

I also love them, and I find it pretty odd how little talk the get here. But with so many forum members diverse tastes it's not too surprising.
Also, look which bands were in the finals for album of 2010...Pagan's Mind's genre is just not followed much here. There's a pretty big post rock following here.

I think it goes to show how "dead" the prog-metal subgenre is when a prog-metal forum has such disdain for it.

Pagan's Mind is a big fav of mine too, looking forward to the new album.  God's Equation took a lot of listens to get use to, it was different but was very rewarding after time.

I don't understand why they get so much slagging, sure, the lyrics are a bit cheesy but so what.  Nils is a monster vocalist with one of the best ranges in metal.  Jorn is a fantastic guitarist, songwriter and producer, I love his sound.  They technically are as acomplished as DT when it comes to the odd time prog stuff, some of their work is very difficult and underrated.  Good live band too, the live DVD is fantastic.  Songs to check out;

Caught in a Dream
Enigmatic Mission
Supremecy, Our Kind
Resurrection
Prophecy of Pleiades
United Alliance
Painted Skies
Through Osiris' Eyes
Everyone else, except Wolfking is wrong.

No shit. Plus, God's Equation is a great song, and one of their best. How long did you actually listen to it?

I heard a really cool instrumental from them a while back.  Can't remember the name but I loved it.

God's equation is a pretty decent album.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZgyAeNxqkw is my favourite track.

if you just take it for what is, some fun metal. then its quite enjoyable
on par with the anguish one would have from getting unconsensually bent over and buttloved.

I've had the upcoming album for awhile, they seemed to really cut back on the bi-polar and put a little more melody into the music. It's been quite enjoyable.

I realize this thread is over two years old, but there's only one page of replies and not enough activity to start a new thread.  Anyway, a friend of mine turned me on to this band recently and I really like most of their stuff.  Started out with Celestial Entrance and God's Equation.  Very cool stuff.  Went on to get Infinity Divine (least favorite btw), Enigmatic: Calling, and their lastest Heavenly Ecstacy (Limited Edition).  Here's a video from HE called "Intermission".  Very catchy tune and a cool tribute to the late Ronnie James Dio and Gary Moore at the end.  Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.  :)

Thought this was a good time to start this thread since the new Blu-ray just came out, and they're currently working on an album due next year  :tup

Here's a song they released from their new Blu-ray, "Full Circle".  It's a mashup of some of their best instrumental sections.  These guys are incredible live!  :hefdaddy

FYI, we already have a Pagan's Mind thread (there's a sticky thread with a list of all the pages by band to check out first before starting a new thread).

https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=21964.0

Perhaps a mod can merge this into that thread?

Yea that's on my "too get" list, which means I will get it for sure, just not high on my priority list at the moment.  All of my spare time has been devoted to video games (looking your way fallout 4) and I haven't even had time to watch my favorite TV shows.  This will be mine soon enough though.
