THY CATAFALQUE, the daringly progressive metal project of Tamás Kátai, are streaming their stunning forthcoming album ‘Meta’. The album, an alluring amalgamation of metal, progressive rock, traditional folk influences, haunting melodies, cavernous vocals, and more, is streaming now at the official THY CATAFALQUE Bandcamp page.

Regarding the album, THY CATAFALQUE mastermind  Tamás Kátai comments:

“This is the seventh album of THY CATAFALQUE and to me it feels like a step into the past and the future at the same time. There are many friends participating again and probably there is a bit more Hungarian vibe around the songs. Still it is just flowing somewhere in time and space. I have really enjoyed painting these images.”
‘Meta’ will be released in North American on Oct. 7 (Sept.16th rest of the world) via Season Of Mist. Pre-orders for the album are available now at Season of Mist E-Shop across several formats.
Track list

After the death of a life, these subatomic particles re-arrange themselves into new, different life forms. All existence is based on cosmic star dust on this planet.”

Regarding the new track, Kátai comments:

“This is a quite spontaneous song, recorded in my childhood room with my old, 10-dollar classical guitar while visiting home in Hungary. Violin is similarly off-handed, played by my Greek friend, Dimitris Papageorgiou. There’s no vocals, only music depicting my love towards the Great Hungarian Plain where I was born and raised. Or home. Hence the title: Lowland Cosmos.”

Kátai continues:

“The title of the album is from Scottish Gaelic meaning the top of a mountain but most of the songs are equally about water, mountains, their relationship and symbols attached to them, inspired by the Scottish Highlands and weirdly the Hungarian Lowlands. There’s not much vocals at all, and when there is, it’s not pleasant. Music is mostly unfriendly, bristly and cold compared to the previous albums. I guess it’s more metal this time.”

THY CATAFALQUE, described as “fascinating, unorthodox, emotionally powerful, beautifully worded, heavy…& truly inspired” (No Clean Singing), and “a viciously eclectic dose of strange folk melodies, industrial percussion, and plenty of synthesized goodness” (Prog-Sphere) previously released 2011’s ‘Rengeteg’. ‘Rengeteg’ is streaming here.
