Pagan´s Mind med special guest Jorn Lande. Support: Mayfire

Expect a full evening of amazing and crushing world-class metal! –Finally we are back on stage together. Hope to see you! say the members of Pagan´s Mind. The band played for the "congregation" in Atlanta, USA, September 2024. On Saturday, February 8, 2025, Skien and Ibsenhuset will be on tour. And as a special guest they will bring Jorn Lande himself! Support: Mayfire (note that the support band goes on stage at 7:45 PM).

Pagan's Mind is the Telemark band that made a strong impression in the early 2000s with the album "Celestial Entrace" and the hit "Through Osiris' Eyes", with its unique variation of hard-hitting Heavy Metal where innovation and skills are allowed to unfold.

Repeated appearances on NRK's Metal Svisj and appearances at festivals in the US and Be-Ne-Lux in 2003 were a great start, where the band would receive repeated VG list and Billboard placements over the next 15 years, this in combination with frequent touring in Europe and the US established the band as a high-quality live band that climbed up the concert charts. It culminated with a gold record in Sweden for the single "Intermission" and the concert release Full Circle: Live at Center Stage in 2015, recorded in Atlanta, USA.

After a few years of hiatus, vocalist Nils K. Rue , guitarist Jørn Viggo Lofstad , keyboardist Ronny Tegner , bassist Steinar Krokmo and drummer Stian Kristoffersen have reunited and decided to make a live comeback and a few select jobs in 2024 and 2025.

– We are really looking forward to finally playing on home soil again and are very pleased to have booked the concert in the Peer Gynt hall at Ibsenhuset . Not only that, we are bringing our good friend and vocalist extravaganza Jorn Lande on stage. (Vocalist Nils K. Rue)
