Catharsis Nocturna is a black metal band from Córdoba, Argentina, founded in 2006 by Darker Mysteria on vocals and keyboards, Austhrum Dominius on guitars and programming, and Svart Sjel on bass. The band released their first demo, Genesis Dramatica de lo Difunto, in August 2006, followed by a second demo in 2009, both steeped in themes of darkness, occultism, and nocturnal mysticism.
