	Pagan friendly holiday music? Yes, it exists. « Between the Worlds
		Both albums have a few songs that will remind you of the traditional holiday songs, but the usual tone of Loreena’s music is still there and that mystical feeling that many of us feel from her music still rings true.
		These albums are great for dinner music with the whole family or even for meditation and ritual as there is little to no lyrics on any of the albums.
		While not a whole album and just a song, “The Christians and The Pagans” is a song for the Yule season that can be very inspirational, especially for the Pagan that has to deal with the trials of family that might not understand their spiritual choices and practices.

		Pagan´s Mind were founded out of the remains of the band formerly known as Silverspoon in the summer of 2000.
		The album was self-financed and was intended to be a sort of "professional demo", as they were being tired of being put down by all the metal labels all the time and wanted to get some atten tion.
		Pagan's Mind is an ancient egyptian way of philosophy, (many books have been written about the topic) and suited the new concept in all ways.

	A Pagan Place
		Half of "A Pagan Place" comes from the series of recordings I made in November 1982 at Redshop Studios in North London.
		In between shows, the last few songs for "A Pagan Place" were recorded, and for the album's release in July 1984, eight songs were selected from a possible fifteen - the result of deliberations between myself and Ensign.
		These two songs were cut at Ensign's insistence in order to keep the lengths of the album sides down to 21 or 22 minutes (for sound quality reasons).

	Pagan's Mind biography @ Tartareandesire.com (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Pagan's Mind is the result of a dream combining the agressive and technical aspects of metal with the more melodic and epic areas of music.
		Pagan´s Mind is not an old band, being found out of the remains of the band formerly known as Silverspoon in the summer of 2000, and is therefore a pretty new band although they already have made furore in the Scandinavian metal scene the last months.
		The songs on the Silverspoon album was old stuff from some of their earlier bands, so the music was sort of different stylewise.

	EVIL LEGEND RECORDS (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The album includes 9 new songs, divided in three thematic trilogies entitled "The Frost Giant's Daughter", "Out Of The Ashes", and "Gates of Fire" (these trilogies have also inspired the album's artwork which is really awesome).
		From that moment onwards, and throughout the album's duration, you are captivated by Shelton's compositions, with all nine songs being of the highest quality.
		I've been spinning this album for more than six weeks prior to writing this review, and still my spine shivers and my jaw drops each time I listen to these three songs, despite having listened to live versions of two of those hundreds of times from a promo CDR released in 1999.

	Metal Invader ( Pagan Altar - Lords Of Hypocrisy [featured album] ) Review. (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Maybe so, but that is my honest opinion, and frankly, I strongly believe the only think that PAGAN ALTAR lacked compared to those of their British contemporaries who achieved huge star status is a contract with a major label, in fact a contract with any label.
		Although it is quite a task to pick highlights from an album as perfect as this, to this reviewer’s ears this “trilogy” is the album’s pinnacle.
		Wisely, PAGAN ALTAR have chosen this point to place the more melodic and relatively calmer “The Masquerade”, such as to give the listener a time to recover from his daze and ponder inspired by the though-provoking lyrics of the song, while its extensive leads provide the perfect background.

	Get Ready to ROCK! Review of CD album by metal rock band Cruachan called Pagan
		My favorite moment on the album, though, is "The Gael", a very emotional song in which Karen Gilligan delivers her best vocal performance ever, and the quite enjoyable "Some Say The Devil is Dead", a traditional Irish song who’s origin is unknown.
		One of the bonuses of the album is it’s fantastic cover, which is illustrated by John Howe — the official illustrator of the Lord Of The Rings, and the only negative point I can detect is the production.
		"Pagan" is a very impressive album that I definitely recommend to all people who love music with character and personality.

	Earth Tones: Music for Pagans (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The U.S. pagan scene is dominated by slow, folky "blah" music that is only one step removed from the science fiction convention filking that spawned it.
		The band lineup varies from album to album, but at its heart are Candia and Tony McKormack, who are always there writing and singing nearly all the songs.
		It was their first new album that I didn't think, "Wow, this is great album!" on first listening.

	News - Pagan's Mind
		Anyway making a Pagan´s Mind album is a puzzle and the funny thing is that we do not know to this point ourselves how the sound will come out.
		After the success with their second album “Celestial Entrance” the more hard-to-find first release from the Norwegian progmetallers “Infinty Divine” is now being re-released on Limb Music.
		Pagan´s Mind is currently working on new songs for the forthcoming third full-lenght release from the band, set to release between January and February 2005

		Pagan Reign had taken part in all of the shows that were held in the clubs of Tver.
		The album is much harder than the previous one, while still maintaining the Slavic melodies and musical variety that has become signature to the band's sound.
		Now, after three full length albums under their belt, the band is working hard on their fourth release, which is expected to be finished in early 2005.

	METALEATER.COM - Album Reviews - Pagan's Mind - God's Equation
		Undeniably, anybody who has been lucky enough to be exposed to PAGAN'S MIND's music will admit the exceptional level of talent and inspiration of this quintet and can't help wondering why their catalogue hasn't yet met a much larger commercial success.
		This probably explains why PAGAN'S MIND has never been able to be considered as a purely Progressive formation choosing instead to perform in the heaviest possible way for a Power Metal formation.
		PAGAN'S MIND's "God's Equation" is not good or great; it is phenomenal and can easily be considered as one of the greatest albums ever released in Heavy Metal.

	Chris & Cosey - Pagan Tango
		The bad side is Cosey's vocals, which stay the same throughout the entire album (soporific etc) and her lyrics, more of which later.
		Pagan Tango is, on balance, a better album than their previous album Trust.
		I'll give Chris Carter's instrumental work a +2 and Cosey's dull vocals a -1, giving the album as a whole a rating of +1 (ie good, but not a classic by a large margin).

	A Darker Shade of Pagan
		On their latest CD "Renaissance", this openly Pagan (and proud) band produced a song that may be one of my all-time favorite examples of what "underground" or "dark" Pagan music is all about.
		They shared an interest in paganism, witchcraft and vampirism as well as making original music from an early age, and so the type of band that was to emerge from the joining of forces was, quite naturally, an expression of this.
		She is also involved with occult and pagan groups and her writing and art has been published in these circles, and those interests are clearly the principal influence in her music.

		"Pagan" was supposed to be released originally I believe in late Summer or early Fall of last year, but due to various unforeseen circumstances (including a label restructuring by Karmageddon Media that delayed the album's release by months.
		Her voice is not overly feminine like a lot of female vocalists, and she has a lot more power than you might expect from a vocalist from the fairer sex.
		In a time when nearly every folk band seems to be getting less folky with every album, it's nice to see this band holding their ground and keep that folk element in there.

	Pagan's Mind Feature Interview At Blistering.com
		Pagan’s Mind is said to be a furious and hard-hitting live experience and I’m flattered about hearing that.So dear Pagan’s Mind fans, come see us live and find out for yourselves.
		It is partly a concept album, that is, not telling a story from A to B, but dealing about the same topics throughout, it deals not only with origins of mankind but the origin of everything.
		I think all the albums have great stuff to offer and that they really live a life of their own.

	A pagan symphony
		When contemplating the ingredients that make up the essence of Paganism, the images that come to mind are being in tune with nature, the spirit of the wild landscape, and the powerful energies that permeate the ancient sacred sites.
		The Pagan theme of the quickening sensation which occurs during the arrival of Spring’s energy is featured: - ‘The driads, maenads and bassarids fly dancing and screaming through the woods, pursued relentlessly by Bacchus and Pan and their hordes of goat-footed and ivy-crowned revelers’
		Further compositions of this nature were the Pagan Chants for tenor and orchestra of 1923, the very fine Pagan Symphony of 1928 and the Pagan Poem for flute and piano of 1932.

	Metal Express Radio
		Although topically this song somewhat meshes into the Pagan's Mind domain, the truth of the matter is Bowie has had bouts of just flat out being weird throughout his career, which is sometimes confused with insightfulness or artistic ability, and the lyrics to this song prove that notion.
		Pagan's Mind does a great job with this song musically (and Pagan-ize it), but after you hear the line "Moondust will cover you" for about the 25th time, it gets old, and you come to realize, surprisingly, that Bowie is far from being in this band's league conceptually.
		Approaching the end of the album is the song "Farewell," a mellow 2:10 instrumental dedicated to former bandmate and guitarist Thorstein Aaby, who passed away on July 24, 2007 after a battle with cancer a nice, thoughtful tribute, although strange that it wasn't placed at the end of the record, all things considered.

	THE METAL OBSERVER - Review - CRUACHAN - Pagan
		Other spectrums, which are opened during listening to "Pagan", are these, which give the band a touch of psychedelic rock of the late 60ies.
		On the one hand this is managed by the insert of the flute (JETHRO TULL) and on the other hand by riff-sequences and adequate vocals, that remind me of e.g.
		But also straight Metal with feminine vocals, that invites to join in singing and banging the heads, is to find on the CD (like "1000 Years").

		The band recorded a total of 15 songs, of which 13 will end up on the final album and the remaining songs will be used as bonus-material.
		Commented band spokesperson Keith Fay (vocals, guitars, keyboards): "The songs on our new album are certainly the best that I have written, they vary from gritty, intense pagan metal, such as on the title track 'Pagan' to mellow, atmospheric ballads such as 'The Gael' which continues the story of 'Death of a Gael'.
		Cover artwork for "Pagan" was created by John Howe, the leading JRR Tolkien illustrator and the conceptual artist from "The Lord of the Rings" movies.

	Album Review PAGAN'S MIND-God's Equation :: Maelstrom :: Issue No 60
		In this case, it’s David Bowie’s "Hallo Spaceboy." The song certainly sticks out as not meshing entirely in style with Pagan’s Mind’s own tracks, but it is a fun song, and, like with any Pagan’s Mind track, it becomes a welcome, integral part of the record.
		These are a minor thrill for major fans of the group, as one can hear multiple sections in which Pagan’s Mind tried out different ideas for vocal lines and transitions (thankfully, the album versions are all better).
		Album #3, Enigmatic: Calling, was the group’s best, having been once again credited to Fredrik Nordstrom.

		This, their first album is probably best known for "Slark," one of the few 14-minute prog-epics which includes no synth, no Mellotron, and no electric guitar, relying solely on violin, flute and acoustic guitar to carry it along.
		There is some electric guitar on the album, but the only keyboard-instrument on the album is piano, and this album includes one of the earliest known uses of an acoustic bass-guitar, at least that I know of, although most of the bass is electric.
		After this album they disbanded, but in 1995 the band was reformed, with most of the original line-up (including the lead vocalist), and under their original name (including the "Combo").

		In bebop, however, the focus shifted from arranging to improvisation over the form; musicians paid less attention to the composed melody, or "head," which was played at the beginning and the end of the tune's performance.
		A counterargument to this assertion is to point out that alternative pop music such as jazz-influenced pop is sometimes labeled as "jazz", which may not be correct.
		Music that is a mixture of jazz and pop music, such as the recent albums of Jamie Cullum.

	Album Review PAGAN'S MIND-Enigmatic: Calling :: Maelstrom :: Issue No 39
		This album (much like its predecessor) has the blessed quality of being immediately engaging, yet doesn’t fully reveal all the details of its structure until many, many listens later.
		For returning fans, Pagan’s Mind’s biggest progression remains from the first to the second album, where the band broke out of what generic metal syntax that they employed to more progressive and original territory.
		Pagan’s Mind isn’t the fastest, the most technical, or the most flashy, but if there ever was a synergy of members that came together with a strong vision to forge something fresh and worthwhile, this is it.

	METALLIAN - Pagan's Mind
		The lengthy album and its twelve songs are clearly working their way towards shores already populated by the likes of Symphony X and Dream Theater musically and Queensryche vocally, but time and time again the band incorporates straight heavy metal passages into the songs.
		Be that as it may, the album is competently-played and produced to good effect by Fredrik Nordstrom over at Fredman Studios and consequently worthy of consideration.
		On the heels of the release of Pagan’s Mind newest album God’s Equation editor Ali “The Metallian” had the occasion to visit with the band’s singer, Nils K. Rue, in order to find out what the concept behind the album is and get the latest news on the Norwegian act.
