Episode 43: Tamás Kátai (Thy Catafalque)

To call XII: A gyönyörű álmok ezután jönnek (the 12th record by Thy Catafalque) avantgarde metal doesn’t quite give a full picture, but then no simple classification really could. Born out of black metal roots, the band (originally a duo) has evolved to take in everything from prog rock, Hellenic folk music and alternative rock (with extreme metal still a major component of the latest record ). Tamás Kátai discusses the album in detail, touching on performing, songwriting and some of his own personal history.
