Originally named Phlebotomy, Greece's On Thorns I Lay started out in 1992, recording a demonstration and a 7" EP under that identify ahead devising the name-switch in time for their 1995 debut album, Sound of Beautiful Experience. Heavily influenced by death/doom metal acts like Paradise Lost and Anathema in their babyhood, On Thorns I Lay would evolve on a exchangeable path as these bands over the course of subsequent albums Orama (1997), Crystal Tears (1999), and Future Narcotic (2000), eventually arriving at a far less extreme firebrand of surd rock, infused with melancholy and atmospherical Gothic nuances. During this time, institution members Chris Dragmestianos (guitar) and Stefanos Kintzoglou (bass part), collaborated with legion henchmen, actually relocating to Romania in 1995 for their graduate studies, and on the job with Elena Doroftei (vocals/viola), Ioanna Doroftei (piano/keyboards), and Andrew Olaru (drums), before reversive dwelling to Athens in the year 2000. After welcoming fresh members Minas G. (guitars/vocals), and Fotis (drums), and hooking up with Black Lotus Records, On Thorns I Lay's side by side releases, 2001's Angeldust and 2003's Egoist, carried on exploring their self-labeled "Pure Depressive Metal."
