Confines Of Mortality

For fans of Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride, Anathema, Saturnus, On Thorns I Lay, Swallow The Sun, Nightfall, Septic Flesh, Cemetary, Lake Of Tears, Amorphis. Founded in western Athens during the much fruitful mid-Nineties Garden of Gods brand of melodic but aggressive and anthemic alike death/doom metal. It all began when Andrew B. former guitarist of PHLEBOTOMY during the infamous "Dawn of Grief" 7" ep days parted ways with that band. Despite having a 7" Ep out on Molon Lave records, it soon became obvious that there wasn't a unified musical vision among band members, hence ON THORNS I LAY and GARDEN OF GODS were born out of PHLEBOTOMY's demise. So the first line-up of GARDEN OF GODS recorded at "Studio 5" (OBSECRATION, ASTARTE, etc) their first demo "Dreamy emotional ecstasy". The year was 1995 and the influences of the band had somehow diversified . That demo still sounds fresh, despite the very much "of its time" production job. Session vocals were provided by Stefanos Kintzoglou of PARALYSIS/PHLEBOTOMY/ON THORNS I LAY and were suitably brutal. While the demo garnered enthusiastic reviews, the band went silent and came with a changed line-up in 1999. Second demo "Upon the ethereal skies of Heaven" was recorded, again at studio 5 and the style followed some of the gothic/doom/death trappings of that era. It was the year 2000 when the band decided they wanted a stable vocalist that could invest time in the band and perform live with them.
