Oratory was founded in 1994 by guitarist Miguel Gomes and vocalist Marco Alves. After the band recorded two demos, Enchantation and Sarcastic Soul, the band went through line-up changes, ending up with Ana Lara (vocals), Marco Alves (vocals), Miguel Gomes (guitars), Rui Santos (bass), João Rodrigues (drums), and Antonio Silva (keyboards). With this line-up, Oratory played with other Portuguese bands, such as Tarantula, and opened for Stratovarius.
These are photos from concerts where Oratory played, so they may be of other bands that played the concert as well.
