pinkytheent You ever finish an album and are already excited to listen again because you know there will be new layers of flavor and depth to discover? A DELICIOUS feast of melodic and instrumental exploration. Thy Catafalque follow the best strains of Opeth, not just in the frequent and excellently-paced alternations of heavy electric and acoustic/woodwind/keys to provide breathing room and mood shifts, but in approaching a song with progressive and sometimes unexpected travel through movements and motifs. Favorite track: Csillagot görgető.

Bart While not as advant garde as Pan Thy Monium, the spirit is there. The vocals with music that is heavy yet expansive. Then the next song is a bit more rock based with almost black metal raspy vocals. Then the following song has an industrial feel to it. Yet all the different songs feel connected. Impressive feat and even more impressive album. If you're open to a more varied sound that is going to challenge you. This is a must get release. Favorite track: A földdel egyenlő.

RJ Thy Catafalque has been one of my favorite musical project since I first discovered them around 2016. Tamás Kátai has been absurdly consistent in creating approachable and unique progressive, avant-garde, folk infused metal. ‘Alföld’ is no exception to that and is yet another stellar release to be added to an already impressive catalog. 9/10 Favorite track: Alföld.

Néma vermek Dűlők alatt, földek között csillagok és rögök rendje. Bányák ölén, tárnák csendjén néma vermek épülnek. Úgy a földön, mint az égen végtelenség áramában, artériák rendszerében elveszek majd, eltűnök majd, nem találsz rám. Kéz a kézben, sár a sárban ez világban. Úgy a földön, mint az égen végtelenség áramában, artériák rendszerében elveszek majd, eltűnök majd, nem találsz rám. Kéz a kézben, sár a sárban vasvilágban. Bányák ölén, tárnák csendjén néma vermek épülnek. A hold alatt hirtelen mindent látsz majd, felcsap a földből tekinteted. Elveszek majd, eltűnök majd, nem találsz rám. Kéz a kézben, sár a sárban vasvilágban.

about

THY CATAFALQUE is a metamorphic entity that’s constantly evolving, showcasing musical ingenuity that’s as limitless as it is daring.
Meaning “The Earth,” ‘Alföld’ is grounded in the Avant Garde project’s heavy beginnings.
While the record takes a cue from THY CATAFALQUE’s early days, mastermind Tamás Kátai’s modern progressive instincts shine through, elevating the record beyond the realm of metal as-you-know-it and once again creating a cutting-edge sound that’s far ahead of its time.
