Pagan's Mind is a power metal/progressive metal band from Skien, Norway.
It is not so heavily influenced by the Stargate series. In an interview with Nils K. Rue he said: "I wouldn't say like the TV series Stargate, because I never saw an entire episode of that. But I really like the film Stargate. Of course, I took some inspiration from that..." Taken from the interview of ProgPower USA VIII.
