Catharsis is a Russian power metal band.

The band was founded in Moscow in 1996 by guitarist Igor Polakov and vocalist Sergey Bendrikov. In its demo albums the band played a kind of doom metal, but since their second album, "Febris Erotica", they turned to the style of symphonic power metal. This album received many positive reviews in Russian music magazines. Readers of Rock City magazine voted for the band as "1999's Best Rookies". The album's follow-up, "Dea", featured voice of Catharsis' new vocalist - Oleg Zhilyakov.

In 2002 Oleg "Mission" Mishin, experienced guitarist and flute player, joined Catharsis and became their main songwriter in following albums "Imago"(2003) and "Wings"(2005). Many lyrics on this albums were written by Margarita Pushkina, a poetess who writes lyrics for metal bands such as Aria, Kipelov, Mavrik.

In 2006 Catharsis was awarded the Russian Alternative Music Prize as The Best Russian metal act. [ [http://ramp1.ru/main.html RAMP 2006 website] ]
