Canonis is a group from Russia which started its gothic career as a doom metal band. In 1994 they recorded their first demo "Virtual Reality", which is sustained in doom metal direction, but differs from the majority of Russian metal bands in excellent melodies and skilful using of female vocals. Next year they recorded their second 3-track demo "Princess of rain" moving away from doom metal borders. In 1997 Canonis recorded new 2-song demo held in ethereal style.

In 1998 year Canonis writing new songs, but recording one exclusive track in 2000 year for Russian Gothic Compilation. Three years later, Canonis recording some tracks for compilation "Colours of Black" for ShadowPlay Rec.
