Odes Of Ecstasy (Greece)
P o r t r a i t
Odes Of Ecstasy were formed in November 1993, and two years
later, in December 1995, they released their first promo which featured only
one song called "Theogony".
In 1996 the band released 5 song promo with the title "Atheistic Emotions".
The specific release was announced as the "promo of the month" from
the Greek "Metal Hammer" magazine. In 1997 they again released single
- promo song entitled "Words Of Insanity", which gave them the opportunity
to sign contract with the American record label, "The End Records".
In 1998 through the contract with "The End Records", Odes Of Exstasy
released their first official album with the title "Embossed Dream In
Four Acts". The sound on this album was death metal which was characterized
by brutal male, operatic female vocals and many influences from classical music.
The second release of the band came in 2000, again through "The End Records",
and it had the title "Deceitful Melody". The musical style of the
specific album was a continuation the first one with the exception of having
more progressive sound and approach than the previous release. After that,
the band came to a standstill for several years due to many line-up changes
caused mainly by the obligatory military service of some of the band's members.
In 2004 the band formed again with a new line-up and a different musical orientation.
From that time the band performed live in several shows in order to promote
the new songs from its upcoming release. Finally, in 2006 Odes Of Ecstasy released
a self-title promo including 5 songs. Through their official releases, Odes
Of Ecstasy have sold, until now, at least 10 000 of copies.
