Infinity Divine is the debut album by the Norwegian progressive metal band Pagan's Mind. In 2004, the band revisited the album, re-releasing it with re-recorded parts and a new mix, with many songs featuring drastically altered arrangements. The re-recorded version omits the song "Moonlight Pact" and adds "Embracing Fear 2004" and "At the Graves."
