[edit] History
Odes Of Ecstasy was formed in Greece around November of 1993 by Dimitris Bikos and Joseph Nikou. In 1994 Dimitris Panayiotidis joined the band on guitar, and in December of 1995 they released the first promo tape containing one song named Theogony. In the summer of 1996 they recorded their first demo called Atheistic Emotions, which featured Christina Maniati providing female vocals. The demo includes three songs of Atmospheric Symphonic Death Metal, a cover of Black Sabbath's "Paranoid" and an Ambient tune featuring only female vocals, keyboards and electric guitars. Following the release of the demo, Dimitris Panayiotidis left the band to join the military, and was replaced by Nikos Baltas. In May of 1997 a second promo was released, containing one song named Words of Insanity.
In 1998 the band released their debut album, Embossed Dream In Four Acts, featuring six songs. In 2000, the band released their final album, Deceitful Melody, featuring eight songs.
