About the album

Tamás Kátai's twelfth album with Thy Catafalque, "XII," embarks on a mesmerizing journey through the depths of avant-garde metal. This release seamlessly intertwines haunting melodies with a rich tapestry of Hungarian cultural influences. The album opens with the ethereal "Piros kocsi, fekete éj," where Attila Bakos' vocals glide over intricate instrumental layers, setting the stage for a dynamic exploration of sound.

The collective effort of over 20 musicians brings an orchestral depth to tracks like "A gyönyöru álmok ezután jönnek," fusing violin, cello, and clarinet into the metal framework. Meanwhile, "Mindenevo" delves into darker themes with relentless blast beats and guitar work reminiscent of black metal's origins. Through its sonic narratives, "XII" reflects on Hungary's industrial past and its present-day struggles, offering listeners a contemplative yet exhilarating musical experience.
