Katalepsy was born in the start of new era (year 2003), with strong intentions to become an original and recognized band in brutal death metal world. First inspirations have come from bands like: Suffocation, Cannibal Corpse, Disgorge, Cryptopsy and Dying Fetus.
After a few local shows in autumn 2004, there was recorded first demo, called “Femicide”. Later, it have been relesed on 4-way split-CD with Barbarity, Posthumous Blasphemer and Smersh (on More Hate Productions).
Till year 2006 band played a lot of gigs, made some line-up changes (new members have brought more sick influences), intensivly rehearsaled, etc., and that have made us strong band with our own style. We received a lot of good responses and opinions both in local gigs, and outside Moscow.
In the end of 2006 Katalepsy entered Z-studio (Navahohut Sound) and started recording of the debut album “Musick Brings Injuries”, duo some problems last songs was recorded in Zvuk I Golos studio. CD was produced by Cannx, engineered by Arcady Navaho and finally released in the start of 2007, by SoulFlesh Collector records. Album stuff is a slamming brutal death metal in vein of Devourment, Sect of Execration, Malignancy but with its own taste, original grooves and rhythms. This sounds became a trade mark of Katalepsy.
Album have gotten great feedback all over the world! After this we played a lot of gigs, supported Suffocation in Moscow show, tour with Jig-Ai, etc. And now we are not only playing on stage, we are making Death metal show, in the way it should be!
In the end of 2007 Katalepsy visited Z-studio (Navahohut Sound) again. There was recorded newest songs for 3-ways split (with Fleshrot & Blunt Force Trauma). This songs is a broadly developed ideas of “Musick Brings Injuries”, but much more brutal, more sick and perverted. Split CD was put out by 3 labels (Grindethic rec., Pathologically Explicit Rec., SoulFlesh Collector rec.) in may 2008. We’ve done tour with Mucopus, for the support of this release and will play at Mountain of Death fest 2008 (Switzerland).
