Sometime during 1992/1993 two guitarist in Switzerland decided to form a black metal band.
They managed to find a drummer but they still had to find a bassist yet.
After finding a rehearsal place one of the two former guitarist wanted to go in a different musical direction, so he left.
At this point of time the two remaining members Thomas Augustiny (drums) 
and Daniel Bisang (guitars, vocals) chosen the band name Spheres Of Dawn.
They recorded one track which was released on Daniel's compilation tape "Infernal Holocaust
featuring tracks from Fleurety, Moonspell, Curse, Thy Serpent and others.
After a while Spheres Of Dawn was laid on ice and the duo decided to form a second band named Athothep.
They released their first demo entitled "Rites Of The Necrogoat" in 1993 and sold about 300 copies.
A second demo entitled "...And The Pale Light Shined On" was released in 1994 with the help of Jonas on synths.
In 1995 the German label Noise V. released the limited to 500 numbered copies 7'' EP "Badb-Catha
which was the final effort of Athothep.
There were plans for a full length CD and also for the release of the first demo of Spheres Of Dawn 
but unfortunately these never happened.
