Location: COLD is the seventh full-length album by the Finnish melodic black metal band, Catamenia. Making guest appearances on the album are Kakke Vähäkuopus, providing clean vocals, and Antti Haapsamo, providing additional vocals on tracks 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8. Music videos were made for the songs, "Location:COLD", "The Day When the Sun Faded Away" and the video for "Tuhat Vuotta" was recorded in their studio. The album features "I Wanna Be Somebody", a cover version of the song by heavy metal band W.A.S.P.

Reception

The album received scores of 7 out of 10 from Metal.de[1] and 8 from Rock Hard.[2] Vampster [de] gave a very positive review, stating that Catamenia were "full of energy and deliver an album packed with groovy, melodic songs that show no weaknesses". There was not "a single weak moment throughout", making Location: COLD "a fantastic album that's destined for heavy rotation".[3]

Norway's Scream Magazine gave a rating of 4 out of 6, stating that while the band lacked a distinct identity, the songwriting was rather good.[4] Ricarda Schwoebel of Powermetal.de [de] called the album "pretty good", warranting several spins in the CD player.[5]

In Finland, Imperiumi [fi] gave a 5 out of 10 score, stating that the album "suffers from three cardinal sins". There did not "seem to be anything in the songs that hasn't already been heard a million times and, frankly, done much more interestingly". The sound was furthermore on "the demo level" and could be called "somewhat sloppy at best".[6]
