Paralysis
Paralysis is loss of muscle function for one or more muscles. Paralysis can be accompanied by a loss of feeling (sensory loss) in the affected area if there is sensory damage as well as motor. About 1 in 50 people have been diagnosed with some form of paralysis, transient or permanent. The word comes from the Greek παράλυσις, "disabling of the nerves", itself from παρά (para), "beside, by" and λύσις (lysis), "loosing" and that from λύω (luō), "to loose". A paralysis accompanied by involuntary tremors is usually called "palsy".
Causes
Paralysis is most often caused by damage in the nervous system, especially the spinal cord. Other major causes are stroke, trauma with nerve injury, poliomyelitis, cerebral palsy, peripheral neuropathy, Parkinson's disease, ALS, botulism, spina bifida, multiple sclerosis, and Guillain-Barré syndrome. Temporary paralysis occurs during REM sleep, and dysregulation of this system can lead to episodes of waking paralysis. Drugs that interfere with nerve function, such as curare, can also cause paralysis. There are many known causes for paralysis, and perhaps more yet to be discovered.
On Thorns I Lay
On Thorns I Lay (previously known as Paralysis, then Phlebotomy) is a gothic metal band founded in 1992 in Athens, Greece.
Biography
They started as a death metal, under the name of Paralysis, then changed their name for Phlebotomy in 1993. They were originally a trio with Stefanos Kintzoglou handling drums and the lead vocals. They released the demo 'Beyond The Chaos' in 1992 and the EP 'Dawn Of Grief'. In early 1994, the group recorded the 'Voluptuous' demo which secured attention from the Holy Records label.
In 1995, they again changed their name for "On Thorns I Lay" in reference to Shakespeare(The name was suggested by their friend, Nightfall's vocalist/bassist Efthimis Karadimas) and their style got closer to Death/doom style, under the influence of bands like Paradise Lost and Anathema. Little by little, it evolved towards gothic metal, emphasizing melancolic themes, in the way of the band Theatre of Tragedy, having cavernous masculine voices and soprano feminine voices.
