Now the new album was recorded at a "high-temple" of Death- and Black Metal, the now legendary Sunlight Studio in Stockholm, Sweden having enlisted the extraordinary talents of prodcuer and "guru" Tomas Skogsberg (Entombed, Dismember, Dissection a.o.). The result is a raw, heavy and hellishly catchy Nordic Black-Metal album which will certainly raise this bands profile in 1999. Unlike the majority of acts within their genre Catamenia have become substantially heavier and faster whilst at the same time retainingthe catchiness of their songs (which has become something of a trademark for this band). On the new opus the talents of keyboard player Heidi Riihinen are used to their potential adding a heavily orchestral aura to Catamenia's sonic storm. Especially remarkable is the German track "Winternacht" the lyrics and backing-vocals of which were done by Atrocity's Alexander Krull when he visited the band during their studio session. With "Morning Crimson" these fiery Finns have delivered the album that will earn them their rightful place in the "Valhalla" of Nordic Black Metal bands. A tour of Catamenia is planned for autumn 1999. But before they will play shows with Dimmu Borgir in Finland (May '99).

Since then six-piece band changed to five-piece 'causs kicking their rhythm guitarist "Sampo Ukkola" out of the band. Also changed the drummer "Toni Tervo" to ex-Impaled Nazarene's drummer Sir Kimmo Luttinen (Plays also in Finnish metal band "Legenda").
