Deinonychus started off as a black metal band in the autumn of 1992. Over the years, Deinonychus established themselves as a doom/dark metal band with as main ingredient; melancholy. The lyrics mainly deal with lifeless philosophy as of cynically said...
Deinonychus started to get shape, back in Autumn 1992 as a one-man outfit, created by the Dutch Marco Kehren, previously with the Dutch band Malefic Oath.
A first demo entitled as "Promo 1993" got released in October 1993; five month's before the only rehearsal "A Blaze Over Darkland". In March 1994 the band got signed with Cacophonous records from UK, and recorded their first album "The Silence Of December" in August 1994.

Nevertheless, due several delays, the album got released in May 1995. This album showed a first progression into a mix of black/doom metal with extreme vocals.
After this, Deinonychus recorded a second album for Cacophonous Records in February 1996. This new release was called "The Weeping Of A Thousand Years" which had been released in July 1996. This album could be seen as a great and unique mix of black/death/gothic metal with a very emotional touch. Unfortunately, any promotion for this album failed to happen by Cacophonous Records, which resulted in a split between Deinonychus and the label in October 1996.
In March 1997 Deinonychus signed with young UK label Supernal Music. Their co-operation resulted in the release of the album "Ark Of Thought" in November 1997. This was the best album from the band so far, and above all the maturest one... Nevertheless was the co-operation between Supernal Music and the band for a short period, as of promotional reasons. In the same year (1997) Deinonychus did their first and only live gig, at the Hippodrome in London UK for a sold-out audience, which happened to be a success for the band, and rose their profile.
