Thy Catafalque were born in 1998 in a small town of Hungary playing traditional, epic black metal in the beginning by Tamás Kátai (Gire) and János Juhász. Just after their first and only demo KaOtic Productions decided to release their first album in 1999 entitled Sublunary Tragedies, followed by the second record Microcosmos in 2001.

Throughout the passing years the music became more and more experimental with deep touches of electronic and folklorish influences feeding from their homeland in Central Europe. Meanwhile KaOtic Productions ceased to exist, so the third album Tűnő Idő Tárlat (An Exhibition of Vanishing Time) came to sunlight as a self-financed production in 2004. By this time lyrics turned into Hungarian and music turned out to be the most diverse and atmospheric experimentum coming out from the band. Cosmic music from micro to macro, from matter to spirit and then back into the ashes.

This world is about to be painted by more vivid colours in the latest release entitled Róka Hasa Rádió released by Epidemie Records on the 12th of May, 2009 and in November 2009 by Soyuz Music.

    kataitamas (11 Nov 2012): "The next Thy Catafalque album will be hopefully out also next year through Season Of Mist if all goes well." - I hope, the circumstances will favourable to Thy Catafalque and plans will be not changed. We will wait an album with huge impatience :)

    Ok... I usually don't like bands with lyrics in a language that I can't understand but this is great. I can't stop yelling "FEKETE MEZÖKÖN" :D

    Gire. The only way to find anything similar is to browse Tamas' other projects.

    typically I give up on music in languages I cannot understand, but this just gets better and better the more I listen to it.
