THY CATAFALQUE is the solo-helmed Hungarian avant-garde metal project of Tamás Kátai, running since 1998 and now a two-time Fonogram (Hungarian Grammy) winner. What began as a studio-only outlet has grown, over the past few years, into a full international touring act with festival slots across Europe and Latin America.
'XIII: Sárga erdo' is THY CATAFALQUE's thirteenth album, and unlike its predecessors it carries no single narrative thread: the twelve tracks move instead through what plays like a wandering across old ground, touching on loss, distance, memory and disappearance without ever settling on one story. The record marks a real shift in how it's built: this is the first time THY CATAFALQUE has used a live drummer rather than programmed rhythm, and while the cast is enormous - thirty-four musicians plus a twenty-voice male choir - the folk and classical textures that once flooded every corner of a song (piano, strings, brass, reed, sitar, kamancheh, zither) are used here with real discipline, brought in only when a track calls for them. The result sits closer to the bone than the maximalism of the last record, heavier in restraint than in volume, and it still finds room for a fictitious folk song built for a vanished people on the Volga, an incineration metaphor turned into the album's heaviest cut, and an opener that reads like a farewell letter.
Gábor Vári returns behind the desk for a second record running, keeping the production language consistent even as the arrangements pull back.
CD in deluxe Mediabook with 40 pages limited to the first pressing only

Norwegian progressive black metal stars Enslaved are back with their 17th studio album, 'Mið', which showcases a band that is constantly taking on new challenges and evolving. From the multi-layered beauty of “Tales of Trees” to the devastating, Gojira-esque twist in “Mountain” to the sheer power of “I Am Ice”, 'Mið' is a focused and intense opus that underscores the Spellemannprisen-winning band’s exceptional status in today’s metal scene.
Deep within the dark realm of Runemagick’s pagan death-doom, After Chaos: Nocturnal Vigil ventures beyond the ruins of chaos through eight interconnected compositions suspended between stillness, dissolution and transformation. The album blends death/doom metal, ritualistic atmospheres, meditative passages and cosmic depths, exploring themes of rune magic, animism and the continuity of existence.
Entirely composed and performed by Nicklas Rudolfsson, the album also features vocals by Dísa Draugurinn, whose shamanic invocations further enhance its immersive dimension.
With Ørlog, SKÁLD bring ancient Nordic traditions back to life through ten compositions inspired by skaldic poetry and Norse mythology. The French trio creates an immersive and atmospheric form of folk music using Nordic fiddles, harps, lyres, horns, flutes and various traditional instruments, complemented by three lead vocalists and elaborate vocal arrangements.
The album explores shamanic prophecies, mythological figures and ancestral tales, moving between solemn passages and more delicate melodies before reaching the ominous atmosphere of its finale. Ørlog thus becomes a journey through memory, fate and origins.
