An early side-project of the prolific multi-instrumentalist/keyboard-wizard Bob Katsionis (all instruments – BOB KATSIONIS, FIREWIND, SKYWARD, etc.), ENCOMIUM appeared in the late-1990s playing what is described as Symphonic Black Metal. In addition to mr Katsionis, ENCOMIUM allegedly housed a certain Spiros Kourouklis (responsible vocals and lyrics), along with Theodore Vourlis on clean-sung parts.
A one-track promo tape was issued in 1997 (referred to as “Promo ’97”). A proper full-length was also recorded the same year, entitled “Images of a Sacred Antiquity”. The latter, however, remains unreleased to this day. A limited amount of promotional tapes appears to have been issued however, as can be witnessed in the discography listing below.
