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 withThomas Skogsberg (Katatonia, Dismember).
The band's third album "Eternal Winter's Prophecy" was recorded in their home country in 2000 at Tico-Tico Studios withAhti 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. As a result line-up changes were made. Vocalist Mika Tönning and bassist Timo Lehtinen were replaced by new vocalist O.J. Mustonen and bassist Mikko Hepo-oja.
In 2006, their seventh album, "Location: COLD" was released. Later that year, a DVD entitled, "Bringing The Cold To Poland", was released featuring live recordings at the Stodola Club in Warsaw, Poland.
Their latest album, "Cavalcade", was released 26 February 2010.

Zero Gravity
Catamenia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Once balanced, once stable
Now broken and in pain
Caring nor hoping for nothing
Living in world of glass
In Zero Gravity
Emptiness taking all over
And nothing is making any sense
But I don't mind at all
Just trying to get more numb
Hollow inside, dead in mind
Tortured in ways no one has felt
Now soullessly wandering in pain
Still no feeling or caring
Just empty, broken passenger
Inside the counterflow of time
I close my eyes and let it go
I don't care no more
Hollow inside, dead in mind
Tortured in ways no one has felt
Now soullessly wandering in pain
Still no feeling or caring
In Zero Gravity
In Zero Gravity
Hollow inside, dead in mind
Tortured in ways no one has felt
Now soullessly wandering in pain
Still no feeling or caring
The lyrics of Catamenia's song Zero Gravity are a glimpse into the life of someone who has become numb to the pain they are feeling. The opening lines describe the turmoil that the person is going through. Once stable and balanced, they are now broken and in pain. They have given up on caring or hoping for anything and are simply living in a world of glass. The world around them seems to have lost its meaning, and they are empty inside. They are trying to get more numb, as they can no longer bear the weight of the pain they are feeling.
As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the pain this person is feeling is something that no one has ever experienced. They are tortured in ways that are unique to them, and they are now wandering soullessly in pain. The feeling of emptiness they're experiencing runs so deep that they are no longer capable of feeling, nor do they care anymore. They have become an empty, broken passenger in the counterflow of time. They close their eyes and let it all go, as they feel like they can no longer fight or care about anything.
In summary, Zero Gravity is a song that explores the depths of emotional pain and the state of numbness that can come with it. The lyrics paint the picture of a person who is struggling to keep going, their life shattered and their mind broken, they feel as if they are an empty shell, alone and aimlessly wandering through their days.
