Catamenia are a Black Metal band from Finland and they have now released their third CD. Now you may wonder where the difference between them and all the other nordic Black Metal bands is. Well, I suppose that there aren't too many. Catamenia play an excellent kind of bombastic Black Metal, but Old Man's Child or Borknagar have done similar music already before. I don't know the two first CDs by Catamenia, but in an interview they told me that the new songs are more melodic and less keyboard orientated. 'Eternal Winter's Prophecy' definitely contains lots of keyboard passages, but they are integrated into the songs in a very harmonic way. Catamenia surely are not the most original band from Finland, but listening to their CD is nevertheless not an unpleasant experience. My favourite tracks are 'Blackmension' and 'Half Moons, Half Centuries', but everyone may discover his personal faves. By the way, the drummer on this CD is a Impaled Nazarene musician. |
