Artist History Paganīs Mind was founded 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 metal scene the last months. Silverspoon released "Sink Or Swim" as a type of professional promotion CD, or demo if you will, released on "own label" (which means no label!). The songs on the Silverspoon album was old stuff from some of our earlier bands, so the music was sort of different stylewise. We got a record contract with Norwegian label FaceFront/Voices of Wonder on the Silverspoon album, but we found out that the new songs we wrote for the upcoming album, suited another concept, band name and members. Steinar Krokmo joined as the new bass player together with guitar virtuoso Jorn Viggo Lofstad. Ronny Tegner joined as a full member of the band two months after we recorded "Infinity Divine", though he did all keywork on the album. All the songs except for one was written before the new members joined the band, and they joined one month before we entered the studio. "Infinity Divine" is produced and mixed by guitar legend Ronnie Le Tekrø (TNT, Vagabond). Infinity Divine is released throughout all of Europe through Zomba Music publishing. It should be noted that Paganīs Mind is interested in contact with major metal labels and promoters, as Paganīs Mind will grow pass their now excisting label.
