Pagan's Mind has been pushing hard for the European throne of progressive power metal for a long time, and they have proved on all their albums that they have what it takes to be crowned kings! Four years have passed since their latest album "God's Equation" and now they are back with their brand new astonishing album: "Heavenly Ecstasy".

On this album they do still have all their old trademarks, but at the same time they've recorded their most versatile, hardest and most aggressive album to date. Nils K. Rue sings better than ever before and he nails the aggressive parts very naturally, the guitar work and especially the lead work is outstanding and this is in my opinion where the biggest progress has been made.

Each song fit the Pagan's Mind concept, the stories deal with the same topics as before, the band just kick ass and this is simply a top notch album from one of Europe's finest metal bands!

Go get!
