Odes of Ecstasy is a Greek gothic metal band formed in November 1993 by Dimitris Bikos and Joseph Nikou. In 1994, Dimitris Panayiotidis joined the band on guitar, and in December 1995 they released a promo tape containing one song, "Theogony." In the summer of 1996 they recorded their first demo, Atheistic Emotions, which featured vocals by Christina Maniati. The demo includes three atmospheric symphonic death metal songs, a cover of Black Sabbath's "Paranoid (song)," and an ambient tune with only female vocals, keyboards, and electric guitars.
