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. The main concept behind the album is the relationship between the ever evolving, solid and massive physical matter and the fragileness of human and all living spirits throughout distant childhood memories and scientific explanations of nature. Revolving, rotating movements of past and future, colours, sounds, long lost scents by a strange transmission from a timeless radio.
After the very well appreciated Róka Hasa Rádió album, in 2010 Epidemie Records decided to print a re-issue of previous recording of Thy Catafalque entitled Tűnő Idő Tárlat. It was originally released by the band itself in 2004 in a very small scale. Limited to 500 pieces of beautful digipak, the music is untouched while the artwork is renewed.
In 2011 Thy Catafalque signed to Season Of Mist. The fifth album entitled Rengeteg was released on 11 November 2011 in Europe and 10 January 2012 in North-America. All the instruments have been reccorded by Tamás Kátai alone this time, as János Juhász left the band in 2011. Guest musicians: Attila Bakos (Woodland Choir, Taranis) - all clean male vocals, Ágnes Tóth (The Moon And The Nightspirit) - female vocals, Mihály Simkó-Várnagy - cello.
In October, 2015 Season Of Mist releases the band's sixth album, Sgùrr in vinyl and 36-page digibook CD.
In November, 2015 Blood Music re-releases Cor Cordium (Demo), Sublunary Tragedies and Microcosmos as The Early Works in 3xCD and limited vinyl box-set edition.

Thy Catafalque Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rohanó kerekek robaja dalunk,
Zakatol a jelen, készül a jövő,
Rohanó kerekek robaja dalunk.
Mechanika-ikonok lángja felettünk,
Nyers tömbökben feszül az idő,
Alakít, formál, termel a haladás,
Tűz vezeti az elmét, gyújtja a dalunk,
Ó nézd, fekete mezőkön láng a tudomány!
Sebesség, mozgás, dinamika lendül,
Rohanó kerekek robaja dalunk.
Zakatol a jelen, készül a jövő,
Rohanó kerekek robaja dalunk.
Szárnyakat szerkeszt testnek az akarat,
Hajtja a magasba millió szív,
Repüljön, szökjön, meneküljön messze,
Emeli a mélyből millió szív.
Tűz vezeti az elmét, gyújtja a dalunk
Ó nézd, fekete mezőkön láng a tudomány
Meteorok égnek vörösen a Földnek
Meteorok égnek fekete mezőknek
The song "Fekete mezők" by Thy Catafalque is a tribute to the advancements of science and technology, and the impact they have had on society. The lyrics vividly describe the speed and movement of progress, with the sound of wheels and machines creating a rhythm for the song. The imagery of "mechanical icons" and "raw blocks of time" conveys the idea of science and technology shaping the world around us.
The song also celebrates the human desire to explore and push the boundaries of what is possible. The lines about "wings" and "soaring" suggest the idea of human beings striving for greatness and reaching for the stars. The repeated line "Tűz vezeti az elmét, gyújtja a dalunk" translates to "Fire leads the mind, ignites our song," which reinforces the theme of passion and inspiration driving human progress.
Overall, "Fekete mezők" captures the excitement and wonder of science and technology, and the impact they have on our lives and our world.

Sebesség, mozgás, dinamika lendül,
The speed, movement, and dynamic swing forward,
Rohanó kerekek robaja dalunk,
The roar of rushing wheels is our song,
Zakatol a jelen, készül a jövő,
The present is racing forward while the future is preparing,
Mechanika-ikonok lángja felettünk,
The flame of mechanical icons is above us,
Nyers tömbökben feszül az idő,
Raw blocks of time are under tension,
Alakít, formál, termel a haladás,
The progress shapes, forms, and produces,
Tűz vezeti az elmét, gyújtja a dalunk,
Fire guides the mind and ignites our song,
Ó nézd, fekete mezőkön láng a tudomány!
Behold, science is ablaze on the black fields!
Szárnyakat szerkeszt testnek az akarat,
Will designs wings for the body,
Hajtja a magasba millió szív,
Millions of hearts propel towards the sky,
Repüljön, szökjön, meneküljön messze,
Fly, jump, escape far away,
Emeli a mélyből millió szív.
Millions of hearts lift up from the depths.
Meteorok égnek vörösen a Földnek
Meteors burn red in the sky of the Earth
Meteorok égnek fekete mezőknek
Meteors burn on black fields

Black fields
Speed, motion, dynamics goes
Speeding wheels' noise is our song
The present is happening, the future is being prepared
Speeding wheels' noise is our song
Mehanics-icons' flame is above us
The time is tighten in stern blocks
The progression is shaping, forming and producing
The time is tighten in stern blocks
The fire leads the minds, lights up our song
O look, the sience is a flame on the black fields
Speed, motion, dynamics goes
Speeding wheels' noise is our song
The present is happening, the future is being prepared
Speeding wheels' noise is our song
The will makes wings for the body
Millions of hearts lift it higher
Fly, spring, escape far away
Millions of hearts take it higher
The fire leads the minds, lights up our song
O look, the sience is a flame on the black fields
Meteors burns red for the Earth
Meteors burns for the black fields

Ma az avantgárdról tartottam órát középiskolásoknak, és ez a dalszöveg volt az egyik példa a futurista költészetre.

Ez az album az extrém rockzenék alkímiájának kvintesszenciája. Jóval több ez mint az alkotóelemeinek összessége, itt egy olyan minőségi ugrást érhetünk tetten amire nagyon kevés példát tudnék említeni. Minden perce eleven lüktetés, minden perce úgy ismerős hogy még sosem hallottam, de mintha mindig is így kellett volna lennie, így kellett volna szólnia. Ezekre a dalokra még hosszú évek múlva is hivatkozni fognak! És még a borító is nagyszerű! Minden elismerésem!

An absolute masterpiece to me. I was given this band to check out and got stuck by this song, and pretty much this album.
