Catamenia is a Melodic Black Metal 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, 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). ChaosBorn combines melodics and aggressive metal with excellent balance.
After praise from media and their fans for ChaosBorn, 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.

Catamenia should spent 3-5 years always when they make a new album, like Agathodaimon does. I someway enjoy their work. VIII time unchained sounded like a bad Location Cold follow-up. some good tracks and others were utter shit. Catamenia should try too to get rid off all songs sound same phenomenal, I know there are many bands that suffers it more than Catamenia does, but still it lacks my <3 to this band !
