[@Estorium]

Tamas has to be one of the busiest men around, releasing albums consistently (and of a consistent high quality), publishing poetry and photography. He is an absolute genius.

[@anabujor1455]

Thy Catafalque is absolutely brilliant! Greetings from Republic of Moldova and Romania!

[@6sentient]

far beyond metal...this is pure genius.

[@blainemono3544]

"Geometria" + "Roka hasa radio" + "Rengeteg" = three masterpiece albums, beyond the rating scale.

[@joaoalbertoni4406]

To this day I don't quite understand the meaning of Roka Hasa Radio, it literally means "Fox belly radio", but I find it strangely poetic.

[@R4tB4G]

@@joaoalbertoni4406 It's just a playful saying from Kátai's childhood.

[@gaborgalda5404]

If anyone wonders, here are some approximate translations of the titles, and the ones confirmed by the band as well. 00:00 Hajnali csillag - Dawn star 8:14 Szamojéd freskó - Samoyedic fresco (official translation by the band) 12:16 Töltés - Rampart. (The man-made kind of rampart on which the railroad lays.) (official translation by the band) 16:42 Gőte - Newt (You can really hear the playful and quick motions of a newt embodied in the music. I just love that.) 19:52 Sárember - Mud Man (official transl.) 26:34 Hajó - Ship 29:10 Lágyrész - Mesenchyme. (Maybe. I did not found any convincing translations, but I think Mesenchyme is the one. It is a type of connective tissue, that is for sure. In Hungarian, "Lágyrész" literally means "soft part", so it has a more friendly name, and kind of a poetic sound to it.) 34:03 Sík - Plain 37:50 Balra a nap - The Sun on the left (It is a quote from a well-known Hungarian little poem that teaches small children the four points of the compass. For elaborate explanation see my reply below.) 42:57 Tenger, tenger - Sea, sea 47:48 Ének a búzamezőkről - A song from the wheat fields / A song about the wheat fields. (The grammar makes it ambiguous, however based on the lyrics, it might be more like the later one. "Búzamező, jaj hogy sajog szívem érted!" which means "Wheat field, my heart aches for you." Also, the title is taken from the novel with the same name, written by one of the greatest Hungarian writers, Móra Ferenc.)

[@pp7745]

Sík may also mean plane (as in geometry)

[@petereisele5307]

I am listening by random, never heard of you guys so far. Incredible stuff!

[@gaborgalda5404]

@@petereisele5307 I am not a member of the band, just a fan. :-) They are incredible indeed! The mastermind behind the band is Tamás Kátai (and János Juhász too on older albums), who usually invites several other musicians aswell on each album. So technically its a one-man band + guests.

[@cabbagectrl]

Thank you for the titel translations! I'd love to have lyrical translations for al thy catafalque songs, that would be really nice. Amazing band, very talented musicians, the albums are diverse sounding with smart and well done genre-integrations, I absolutely love it.

[@gaborgalda5404]

"Balra a nap" elaboration: it is a quote from a little rhyme that is very well-known in Hungary. This rhyme is used to teach little children the four points of the compass. It is like a little poem, and a bit more poetic than my translation suggests. "Előttem van észak, Hátam mögött dél, Balra a nap nyugszik, Jobbra pedig kél." "North is in front of me, South is behind me, On the left the Sun sets, On the right it rises." Napnyugta = sunset. "Nyugta" has the connotation that the sun not only sets, but literally lays down, sets down, calms down (nyugszik, lenyugszik), like someone going to bed at night. In Hungarian, west is called "nyugat", the place where the Sun goes to sleep at night. By the same logic, napkelte = sunrise. "Kelte" has the connotation that the sun not only rises, but literally gets up (kel, felkel), like someone in the morning would get up from bed. So east is called "kelet", the place where the Sun wakes up, gets up in the morning. So, these two directions are named directly after the Sun's "behaviour in the morning and at night". The poem utilises this too. The song title evokes both nostalgic feelings about childhood because of the little poem, and it is also generally a part of Hungarian culture. The lines "Balra a nap nyugszik" and "Jobbra pedig kél" can be heard sung repeatedly in the song from 41:37.

[@sadnessofafrica]

Tamas never dissapoints, shame that Thy Catafalque are not popular, they deserve more recognition

[@timeslowingdown]

People always say this about every band that isn't in the current top 40 - but If you mean relatively popular (i.e. within the progressive/black/post metal scene), then yeah I fully agree

[@jessicalizarraga9160]

totally agree with you

[@lordoflightning7506]

He may not be the big talk of the year yet but ever since he dropped this album hes actually raised a pretty large following within the last year

[@sciohermetikum3902]

Why?

[@undisputedattitude2902]

@@timeslowingdown Thy Catafalque is not a Post Metal band, they play Avant-garde.

[@EinSophistry]

It's amazing that an album with this much variety can still sound so cohesive. Tamás never disappoints.

[@shardonyx]

can't stop listening to hajnali csillag

[@ministry__of__truth]

the same

[@zGRIMNIRz]

OK, this One is among the best metal albums I have ever heard.

[@TheApothecaryAus]

Never heard of this band before, random KZbin stumble. Very impressed by the level of composition and the female vocals are divine!

[@dzvzekilar9824]

Same here. Sometimes, KZbin just knows.

[@reynaldostufano1109]

First time listening to this band. Wow, this blew my mind.

[@flammaferus2998]

The album of the highest magnitude.

[@divinefallfromgrace]

This gets better with every listen... just bought 'Naiv' too, so impressed by where Tamas has taken his sound. Season Of Mist you well-scouting legends!

[@launchthemissile4467]

If anyone asks what I like about avantgarde and progressive music - this album is the answer. Absolutley brilliant

[@FluffyFractalshard]

omg! is this celestial neo-folk metal-what?! epic!!

[@kobzavajk]

Elmondhatatlan, hogy mekkora lélek-emelő és -tápláló forrás ez a lemez is. Számomra az év albuma! Köszönöm!

[@ministry__of__truth]

yes man! exactly

[@divinefallfromgrace]

This is one of the most stunning things I've ever heard. I don't say that lightly!So musically diverse, yet it has a 'flow' to it. Makes me wanna learn Hungarian just so I can understand it better. Well fucking done Tamas!!

[@adamfowler5475]

The moment you hear the jazzy drums kicking in at the beginning, you know you're in for a very unique album.

[@mathieutieu5144]

album of the year so far no doubt

[@marcelor.bezerra670]

Great ! Great ! Awesome ! Genius ! Perfect ! IS that what the world needs to hear ... finally something new ... 24 years listening metal every day, at this level all i need is something new ...

[@TheCcmarine]

I'm glad SOM signs many different types of artists. Their roster is pretty diverse. Very cool music

[@richardjurinovics9045]

A real masterpiece.

this is my first time listening to Thy Catafalque, and this is amazing!! definitely gonna pick this up and check out their older stuff as well!

same, i have no idea how i managed to miss them until now. Such an incredible band

[@andreasadam4127]

strangeradios , me too. 😊👍

[@DimensionalCollapse]

Spoiler: There are no bad releases Tamas worked on. Check Gire, Towards Rusted Soil, Neolunar and Katai Tamas solo as well. Missing any of them is wasteful for your general happiness.

[@vivekkailash9308]

My humble request to you.. Please please listen to piroshatu by thy catafalque.....i heard this 8 years ago and still get mesmerized when i listen to it today

One finely tuned band. Always enjoy all their total body of works. Hail the Heavy!!

Thank you for such a blessing. First time hearing this band and bought their album right away after 20 minutes of listening to this masterpiece. Now I just need to find someone who's native on this language in order to help me on translation part.

Az imént hozta meg a futár a 743.számú cd-t, de természetesen nem bírtam ki, hogy előtte ne hallgassam meg itt is ezt a csodát. A Róka Hasa Rádió-val kezdődően minden album megvan cd-n és hihetetlen ez az éteri utazás amit a zenéd által megtapasztalhatunk minden egyes lemezen. Köszönöm Tamás a fantasztikus élményt. Ja, és csodásak a képek a bookletben, gratulálok!

[@belakovacs1061]

Bakeliten hallgatva még jobb. ;)

Considering that I love so much albums like Roka, Sgurr and Meta, I don't know at all how it is possible that Geometria is slowly becoming my favorite one... It is like a step forward into the perfect album ! :)

[@southeast4624]

You got it pal! go back in time and give a few spins to "Tűnő Idő Tárlat" as well, brilliant.

Quite ingenius stuff ! The vibe going on throughout this album is unlike any I have felt in recent years, as far as heavy music goes. Gimme this any day of the week instead of all that overly polished hipster 'metal' that seems to be the standard way to go these days. This is addictive 🤘

A beharangozó számok nagyon tetszettek, aztán első hallgatásra a lemez nagyon nem akart átjönni. Harmadszorra-negyedszerre viszont már bekúszott az agyamba egy csomó dallama, ami miatt azóta még többször meg kellett hallgatnom :) És így megy ez azóta is..

[@enestekin6109]

Since the first listening I made a consequence in my mind. Tamas goes to something like jazz fusion. There's not too much avant-garde metal/black/melodic effects like in the past. Nothing compares to META, but it's better instead listening to Arcturus...
