          Release Notes:
          Norway, long known for the black metal sounds of
          Immortal, Kampfar, Enslaved, Old Man's Child and
          others, also have to give to the fans of the power
          metal genre, such bands as Age of Silence,
          Beautiful Sin, the excellent Winds and this, with
          hints of power, progressive and death metal,
          Pagan's Mind, Heavenly Ecstasy. While some may
          assume so many styles would only offer a
          detracting stance to the overall sound, when
          hearing such tracks as 'Revelation to the End,'
          the outstanding 'Follow Your Way,' the
          fist-pumping, 'The Master's Voice,' and 'Never
          Walk Alone,' these delusional thoughts are quickly
          silenced.
          But, guttural vocals, keyboards and sweeping
          choruses do not necessarily a progressive power
          metal band make. Granted, each of these components
          are an integral part of the overall sound of such
          a genre, but what must be included ľ and felt ľ
          are the lyrics, the musicianship, the sound coming
          from each of these tracks, and how the individual
          tracks sound as a completed CD. So, in that light,
          it must be said, thank the Lord for such bands as
          Pagan's Mind, in that what they do, they do well.
          Very well.
          The sound is heavy, yet melodic, theatrical but
          not pretentious, and in the times when such death
          vocals are heard, they make sense and only add to
          the feel. Which is what makes Pagan's Mind so good
          at what they do. Rather than have guttural vocals
          for little more than the sake of having guttural
          vocals, here they add an emotion, a punch to the
          gut effect. Listen to the dramatic, moody (albeit
          short) CD intro, 'Contact,' the downtrodden
          guitars of 'Eyes of Love,' the screams of 'Into
          the Aftermath,' the incredible drums and piano of
          'Live Your Life Like A Dream,' and the beautiful,
          soothing sounds of the ballad 'When Angels Unite.'
          It is truly ideal when a band, upon gathering
          together for the sake of creating a new release,
          that the overall vision is taken into
          consideration. One can surmise that Pagan's Mind
          came to the studio with the question: what do we
          want the feel of this CD to be? What do we want
          the audience to take away from this music? And
          what is it we, and most important of all - what
          direction do we have to take so that at first
          listen, the audience will 'get' what we are trying
          to do? And the end result is that this is a CD
          that answers all those questions. It's is rich and
          tuneful, with all the instruments coming together
          perfectly, and never at any time do they compete
          for space. The sound is excellently mixed, the
          melodic vocals outstanding and as the various
          sounds of progressive, metal and rock come
          together it plays out wonderfully. The vision of
          the CD is evident, and each track was written
          carefully, taking into consideration 'the
          direction' that needed to be taken, so we feel of
          the songwriter's emotions.
          Although it has been a long four years since their
          last studio release, 2007's God's Equation,
          Pagan's Mind has been on tour appearing in some of
          the world's biggest progressive and metal
          festivals, and sharing a stage with such metal
          dignitaries as Fate's Warning, Sonata Arctica,
          Brainstorm and Stratovarius. So while the time
          away from the studio has been too lengthy, what we
          have here has indeed made up for such an absence
          of new material. So it is a good thing when it can
          be said 'the wait has certainly been worth it.'
