Catalepsy was founded in 2004. Rob Walden is the only founding member still with the band. In 2008, the band finished a tour with Hatebreed for their 'Live Dominance' DVD release. They completed their first studio album, Iniquity, in January 2008. The album was released on May 13, 2008.[2] In early 2008, the band recorded a music video for their song 'Trust.' It premiered on MTV's Headbanger's Ball.
In late 2008, Drew Carothers left the band due to personal issues. He was replaced with Josh Anderson of the Florida band Iamdivide. The band continued to tour, with such bands as After The Burial, Oceano, Too Pure To Die, Waking The Cadaver, Rose Funeral and many others.
In October 2010, during the recording of Bleed, Josh Anderson left the band. He was replaced by Rick Norman, formerly of the band In The Ruins, also a past member of Catalepsy. Bleed will be released in May 10, 2011 through Eulogy Recordings.

On December 28, 2011, the band released a new song off of their upcoming album "Abomination of Desolation" titled "Westboro", a reference to the Westboro Baptist Church, which is the main subject of the song's lyrics. The new material demonstrates somewhat of a return to their death metal-oriented sound as heard in "Iniquity" and "Godless" while still maintaining the groove-oriented sound of "Bleed".
