Began under the name Paralysis (Grc) in 1992. Changed their name to Phlebotomy and then finally to On Thorns I Lay.

Some of the members of this band are Romanian, although they started out as a fully Greek band.

Style: The band doesn't play Doom death (early 1994-97) anymore.

The band doesn't play Goth metal anymore (1999-2001)

2003 to nowadays : the band has been playing some introspective (hard) rock oriented music close to bands like Radiohead or Nada Surf with a little bit harsher sound and without no female vocals (that's the new direction you can hear on the album egocentric (2003) )

2006: According to the new song `` one day to live`` from the upcoming album and the bands declarations The band seems to blend their current (hard) rock sound with their former melancholic female fronted style.
