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. 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.

Köszöntsd a hajnalt
Thy Catafalque Lyrics
Vérem, virágom
Napszín kalászom
Termő világom
Égre kiáltom
Hogy jönne mégis
Hogy lenne mégis
Serkenne magból
Önnön magamból
Önnön magamból
Serkenne magból
Hogy lenne mégis
Hogy jönne mégis
Égre kiáltom
Termő világom
Napszín kalászom
Vérem, virágom
Csak jönne mégis
Csak lenne mégis
Köszöntsd a hajnalt
Köszöntöm én is
Napszín kalászom
Termő világom
Égre kiáltom
Hogy jönne mégis
Hogy lenne mégis
Serkenne magból
Önnön magamból
Önnön magamból
Hogy lenne mégis
Hogy jönne mégis
Égre kiáltom
Termő világom
Napszín kalászom
Vérem, virágom
Csak jönne mégis
Csak lenne mégis
Köszöntsd a hajnalt
Köszöntöm én is

im not a professional but it goes somehow like this:
Greet the Dawn
blood of mine, flower of mine,
sun-coloured wheatear of mine,
fertile world of mine
I shout onto the skies,
how would it be
that would come though.
from seed to rise alive,
from the own insides of mine
from own insides of mine,
from seed to rise alive,
how would come though,
how would it be,
I shout onto the skies
this fertile world of mine,
sun-coloured wheatear of mine,
blood of mine, flower of mine,
It would just come though,
it just would be though.
Greet the Dawn!
And I do likewise

It's been an honor to be a part of this! <3

Will never get tired of Thy Catafalque sound

Enjoying this direction so far. From the new songs that we've heard, this album is shaping up to sound a bit more rockin' and direct to the point, still with the signature sound and feeling, but sounds more digestible, a little more focused and straight forward. Thy Catafalque have always had this incredible ability to begin a song one way, and over time organically evolve that song into something completely different by the end. However that concept doesn't especially come across as the mission-statement for this album. I dont think that's what these songs are trying to do. Which by the way I'm okay with. Then again some of the longer more transformative songs may not have been chosen for music videos. Just some thoughts. A big fan of Tamas' discography throughout.
Maxime Rioux
I've been thinking the same actually! Gives me some "Meta" vibes. I can't wait to hear the whole album for sure.

Every track released so far has been phenomenal! My most anticipated album release of the year.
