On Thorns I Lay

On Thorns I Lay started as a Death Metal band together with other cult bands in Greece in the early 90’s such as Rotting Christ, Septicflesh, Necromantia and Nightfall. They started to spread their name across the local and global underground scene and shared the stage with artists such as Dream Theater, In Flames, Anathema, Amorphis, Katatonia, Rotting Christ, Tiamat, The Gathering, Satyricon, Septic Flesh and many more. The band has released 9 albums so far such as “Orama”, “Crystal Tears” and “Aegean Sorrow”, which gained great praise. Their last album ‘’Threnos’’ followed the path of atmospheric, yet emotional Doom Death Metal – paying tribute to the roots and representing the trademark sound of the band once again. After their mini tour at the Baltic states with Rotting Christ in 2022, On Thorns I Lay finished the recordings of their 10th album and signed to the label Season of Mist. The self-titled LP pushes death-doom to epic heights, casting a newborn Gothic glow over muscular riffs and cavernous vocals hearkening back to the halcyon days of early ‘90s Peaceville death-doom. On Thorns I lay continue to tell dense stories of loss and despair. FFO: Rotting Christ, Septicflesh, Nightfall, Katatonia, Opeth, My Dying Bride, Paradise Lost, Swallow The Sun, Draconian and Insomnium.
