Angel of Mercy - Agate

Everything started as a progressive/experimental pop rock project in August 2004, in Oslo, Norway.

Four band members with different musical backgrounds formed the beginning of Agate. They were Mira Birkelid (lead vocal/keyboard) and Rune Torgersen (vocal/bass) (still members), and former members Tore Kvilhaug (guitar) and Bård Westberg (drums).

Back then, the band tried to mix a melodious groovy sound with oriental and classical tunes and were influenced by Pink Floyd, Vangelis, Clannad and particularly Nightwish.
