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.

Kabócák bodobácsok
Thy Catafalque Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
a piros hátú kis bogarak elindultak
mind egy rejtelmes világba.
Lábuk nyomán elmerült a kert,
vele együtt süllyedt a kút, a ház,
a sok málna és a diófa is lassan,
és én is akkor süllyedtem ebbe
a mély sárga, lázas őszbe el.
The lyrics of "Kabócák bodobácsok" by Thy Catafalque paint a vivid picture of the transition from summer to autumn and the journey of the little red-backed bugs into a mysterious world. As the summer fades away, these insects embark on a journey, leaving behind traces of their path. The garden, along with its well, house, raspberry bushes, and walnut tree, gradually sink into this unraveling world. And in that moment, the singer too surrenders to this deep yellow, feverish autumn.
The lyrics capture a sense of melancholy and transformation. The departure of the bugs symbolizes the end of a carefree and colorful season, and the sinking of the surroundings suggests a gradual descent into a new, unknown phase. The vivid imagery used by Thy Catafalque brings forth a sense of longing and unease, as the singer willingly plunges into the depths of this autumnal realm.
Overall, the lyrics of "Kabócák bodobácsok" evoke a bittersweet embrace of change and the acceptance of the inevitable passage of time.

És mikor elmúlt a nyár,
And when the summer ended,
a piros hátú kis bogarak elindultak
the little red-backed bugs set off
mind egy rejtelmes világba.
into a mysterious world.
Lábuk nyomán elmerült a kert,
In their footsteps, the garden disappeared,
vele együtt süllyedt a kút, a ház,
along with the well, the house,
a sok málna és a diófa is lassan,
the numerous raspberries and the walnut tree slowly,
és én is akkor süllyedtem ebbe
and I also sank into
a mély sárga, lázas őszbe el.
the deep yellow, feverish autumn.
