Avante garde rock project Thy Catafalque have announced that their new album, Alföld, will drop June 16 via Season Of Mist. To celebrate the occasion, the band has released a single “Néma vermek.”
Tamás Kátai comments:
“Alföld is the most straightforward and classic extreme metal album the project ever recorded. This time, I just wanted to do metal without any innovation or progression, focusing on songs and riffs rather than experimenting and breaking new grounds. Had to let the old ideas out, so I did it with enjoyment. ‘Alföld’ means ‘The Great Plains,’ a massive flat part of South-East Hungary where I was born and raised and we shot the video for ‘Néma vermek’ in the middle of the barren lands, in Makó-Bogárzó.”
Originally Thy Catafalque emerged as a black metal band founded by singer/keyboard player Tamás Kátai with the aid of guitarist/bassist János Juhász. The band have since evolved in different musical directions.
