Thy Catafalque Release Live at Dürer Kert

More information about XII: A Gyönyörű Álmok Ezután Jönnek
From the very beginning, Thy Catafalque had a vision that extended beyond borders and boundaries. Over the past two decades, Hungarian mastermind Tamás Kátai has turned what was once just a studio project into a one-of-a-kind live act.
“XII: A gyönyörű álmok ezután jönnek is a feast for the ears”, New Noise wrote in a 5 star review of Thy Catafalque’s latest opus. “[it’s] a celebration of the powers of music, bursting to express itself in whatever form it chooses to inhabit. An album to inexorably fall in love with”.
Now, fresh off their debuts at Hellfest, Rockstadt Extreme, Alcatraz and other European festivals, Thy Catafalque are embarking on their second headlining tour of Europe. The tour starts in Hungary on March 14 with two special performances of their eighth album Geometria. It ends in August with appearances at Burn Fest Open Air and Brutal Assault Festival.
As Kátai and his ever-growing cast of collaborators prepare to capture the collective imagination of crowds from the United Kingdom and France to the Czech Republic and Slovakia alongside Bong-Ra and Toward The Throne, today, Thy Catafalque are releasing the full video of last year’s sold-out performance at Hungary’s legendary underground venue Dürer Kert.
“This is a massive step-up for Thy Catafalque”, Kátai says. “We are very excited to play for our fans in places where we’ve never gone before”.
Watch Thy Catafalque perform live at Dürer Kert.
XII: A gyönyörű álmok ezután jönnek (The Beautiful Dreams Are Yet to Come) is out now on Season of Mist.

No matter the place and time, Thy Catafalque take their crowd on a journey into both the past and present. Their set at Dürer Kert opens with three songs off the recently reissued Rengeteg, which span the fiercely avant-garde (“Vashegyek”), hip-shaking prog (“Az eső, az eső, az eső”) and headbanging blast beats ( “Minden test fű”).
Out from those misty yet familiar shadows, A gyönyörű álmok ezután jönnek appears with two songs that are quick to charm fans of Thy Catafalque. Blackened chugger “Vasgyár” forges full speed ahead like the rusted-out iron works that once fueled the Hungarian economy, while the chilling “Ködkirály” brings the evening to a close somewhere between dreams and nightmares. Cosmic synths rise like fog beneath a sinking moon before a death metal riff comes thundering down from the blackened sky.
Along this introspective journey into the night, Kátai welcoms many familiar faces from across Thy Catafalque’s varied discography. Martina Veronika Horváth, Bálint Bokodi, Zoltán Kónya and Ivett and Gábor Dudás accompany him with soothing cleans and fearsome growls, while his bass grooves are rounded out by drummer Árpád Szenti and guitarists Krisztián Varga and Zoltán Vigh.

Posted on October 9, 2024Metalheads all over the world associate Thy Catafalque with Hungary. But the project’s mastermind has a vision that extends far beyond his home country’s borders and boundaries. With an equal affinity for classical instrumentation, avant-garde experiments and the more vile dealings of death and black metal, Tamás Kátai can take you anywhere: The Great Plains, a philosophical feast, the quiet of a familiar street just before dawn, or, as Red Bull recently discovered, a Chilean mountainside.
