The band was formed in 1989 in Boston by Jonah Jenkins (vocals) and Eric Stevenson (guitar, ex-Formicide). Eric's brother Kevin Stevenson (guitar) and former Formicide-bandmate Roy Costa (bass) completed the line-up. In 1991 Kevin and Roy were replaced by Craig Silverman and Chris Crowley. Kevin and Roy would go on to form The Shods.
Only Living Witness released a few demos before being signed by Century Media Records. Their debut CD Prone Mortal Form was released in 1993. The band performed concerts in 14 countries including Sweden, England, France, Canada, Italy, Switzerland and the Czech Republic.
