Kataplexia was born in the beginning of 2003 in Helsinki, Finland.
Initially it started as a brutal death metal project created
by Rodrigo Fatality Artiga from El Salvador, Central America.
The founder member Rodrigo Fatality had the idea
of this project since the end of 2002.
He started writing and creating all the sound lines
and musical attacks alone, following the style of the classic
metal which he has been playing throughout the years
with his bands KABAK (ESA)/ DEEPRED (FIN),
taking a big influence from his favorite death metal bands.

In February of 2003, Rodrigo had the opportunity to
record his ideas and choose a suitable name for the project.
He recorded instrument by instrument on his own,
at “The Course” studios with the enthusiastic support
of underground death metal's engineer Jani Loikas,
who also contributed to the recording with some
psycho brutal guitar solos for three tracks.
After the final mix by Jani Loikas and Rodrigo,
the project was baptized KATAPLEXIA. Four months later
SEVERE MUSIC FINLAND released “MORGUE'S REALITY”.


MORGUE'S REALITY
was produced by SEVERE MUSIC and Rodrigo Fatality.
The album has been formatted on CD and includes 8 tracks
of pure aggressive Death Metal, with plenty of smashing blast bits,
contagious slow grinding riffs, and of course traditional
low growls from Rodrigo fatality's guttural vocal chords.
The music itself is reminiscent of classic
American death metal acts such as Pyrexia, Internal Bleeding,
Suffocation, Cannibal Corpse, Dying fetus and the likes.

A few months down the line,
despites Rodrigo's skepticism about the material,
the underground metal community embraced the album with open arms.
The response was so good Rodrigo decided
to put up a band and play Kataplexia's material live
and produce some merchandise for the fans.

Searching for the playing members:
Rodrigo had previously met many good musicians
from Finland and other parts of the world,
so was easy to find the members for the project band.
He was able to ensemble a line up of
Latin American death metallers with the scope of
taking the band to the next level.
He found in Mikael Da Costa (Bra) and Davi Moreira (Bra)
common interest and connection to play KATAPLEXIA live.

The first gig of the band was in October 2003
with NECROTERIO (Bra) and SLUGATHOR (Fin) in Helsinki.
The band got some really good feedback and
acceptation from the crowd, so offers where made to play in
November at the “Gothenburg death fest 2003”
splitting the stage with great bands like
ROTTEN SOUND, DISAVOWED, DESPONDENCY,
NECROTERIO, IMMERSED IN BLOOD, EMBEDDED, etc.

At the moment the project has formalized as a full time band
and members were working on new material which
promised to be far more aggressive, brutal,
technical and faster than before.

2004
After one year of intensive work, composing,
recording new material and playing some gigs out of Finland,
Kataplexia entered the studio to record the
Second full length's material in August 2004.

Also we played the brutalism and unforgiving
LUDWIGSHAFEN DEATH FEST 2004 in Germany at
23rd of October 2004 where Kataplexia shared the stage
with bands like
Beheaded, Inveracity, Caedere, Visceral Bleeding,
Veneral Disease, Godless truth, etc.

November 2004,
Kataplexia announced the signing of a new contract for
Two Albums with XTREEM MUSIC from Spain
( Ex-REPULSE Records) Owned by the recognized
Death metal's singer Dave Rotten (Avulsed, Christ Denied).

2005
Second Album was released on
Xtreem Music at January 2005, baptized under the title:
"Catastrophic Scenes"
which contain 7 brutal and fast songs, plus 1 video clip.
The influences are inspirited in bands such as
Suffocation, Cannibal Corpse (Old), Pyrexia, Dying fetus,
Pyaemia, Disavowed, Severe Torture and all
US style brutal death metal's bands alike.
The material was recorded in the same Studio
than first album "Morgue's Reality".

"Catastrophic Scenes" was supervised once again by
Jani Loikas (FIN) who also recorded a sick guitar solo
into the album.

March 2005. Right away after the show at Turku, Finland
Mikael decided to leave the band and He moved to London.
Therefore the band is forced to take a short brake and
Search new members to continue the brutality.

Two new members were found in Eero (guitars) & Miikka (bass).
The incorporation of new members is now
giving to the band a better sound and attitude.
This time Kataplexia is completely multi-cultural and
Members are coming from El Salvador, Brazil and Finland.

The Kataplexia's line-up is now ready for Brutal!
We are preparing a mini local tour (Finland)
to promote the new album and increase the number of
BRUTAL DEATH METAL fans.

Keep patience!!! And Keep it Brutal Fucking Death Metal!!
