Catharsis is a Russian power metal band.
The band was founded in Moscow in 1996. In early demos their sound was similar to death doom metal, but in their second album, Febris Erotica, they turned to the style of symphonic power metal. In 2002 Oleg "Mission" Mishin, experienced guitar and flute player, joined Catharsis and became their main songwriter in next albums: "Imago"(2003) and "Wings"(2005). Many lyrics on this albums are written by Margarita Pushkina, a poetess who writes lyrics for metal bands such as Aria, Kipelov, Mavrik.
In 2006 Catharsis got Russian Alternative Music Prize as Best russian metal band.
