Oulu, Finland (1995 – present)

Catamenia is a band founded in 1995 by original members Riku Hopeakoski and Mika Tönning in Oulu, Finland.

Catamenia released their first demo album in their first active year, simply titled “Demo ‘95”. Their second demo, titled “Winds”, released in 1996, led to a four-album contract with Massacre Records in 1997.
Their debut full-length album “Halls of Frozen North” was recorded in 1997 with Gerhard Magin (Crematory, Mystic Circle) and was released in 1998. A year later they recorded their second album, “Morning Crimson” (1999) in Sweden, at Sunlight Studios with Thomas Skogsberg (Katatonia, Dismember).

The band’s third album “Eternal Winter’s Prophecy” was recorded in their home country in 2000 at Tico-Tico Studios with Ahti Kortelainen (Kalmah, Eternal Tears Of Sorrow, Dawn of Relic).
Their last album for Massacre Records was entitled “Eskhata”, released in 2002, recorded in Oulu, Finland at SoundMix Studios with producer Mika Pohjola (The Black League). After the release and promotion of “Eskhata”, Catamenia renewed their contract with Massacre Records for three more albums, citing good working relations. Their fifth album, “Chaos Born”, was recorded at Neo Studio in Oulu, Finland with Kari Vähäkuopus and Immu Ilmarinen (Burning Point, Embraze, Afterworld, Sentenced). “Chaos Born” combines melodics and aggressive metal with excellent balance.
After praise from media and their fans for “Chaos Born”, “Winternight Tragedies” was stated as their sixth studio release, again with Mastervox Studios and producers Kakke Vähäkuopus and Immu Ilmarinen. While working on “Winternight Tragedies”, the band encountered problems with collaboration, distance and lack of practice.

    I think Rewritten Chapters is awesome. I love new version of Cavalcade. And I didn't know Blackmension and Post Mortem, which are amazing songs. Kuolon Tanssi is IMO as good as the original.

    Recently listened to Cavalcade again. Not nearly as bad as I remembered it being. I'm glad I gave it another chance. [2] Also, the new version of "Alive! Cold! Dead!" is FUCKING FAST HOLY SHIT
