Thy Catafalque

About the artist

Thy Catafalque is the Hungarian avant-garde metal project led by multi-instrumentalist Tamás Kátai, known for blending black metal, progressive metal, and experimental elements with electronic and folkloric influences from his homeland. Evolving from traditional black metal beginnings in 1998, the project has continually pushed boundaries, creating a unique sonic mosaic that incorporates diverse genres like ambient, jazz, rock, and pop. In recent endeavors, Thy Catafalque released their twelfth album, "XII: A gyönyörű álmok ezután jönnek" (meaning "The Beautiful Dreams Are Yet to Come"), on November 15, 2024, through Season of Mist. The album, arriving just a year after its predecessor "Alföld," features guest musicians and continues Kátai's introspective and dreamlike musical journey, exploring themes that connect to his past and Hungarian history. Leading up to the album's release, singles like "Mindenevő" and the title track were debuted with accompanying music videos. Thy Catafalque also embarked on their first-ever European tour in early 2024, performed at various European festivals, and has plans for a Latin American tour. Additionally, Season of Mist reissued the band's initial four albums.
