Thy Catafalque Featured in New Red Bull Film

More information about XII: A Gyönyörű Álmok Ezután Jönnek
Metalheads all over the world associate Thy Catafalque with Hungary. But the project’s mastermind has a vision that extends far beyond his home country’s borders and boundaries. With an equal affinity for classical instrumentation, avant-garde experiments and the more vile dealings of death and black metal, Tamás Kátai can take you anywhere: The Great Plains, a philosophical feast, the quiet of a familiar street just before dawn, or, as Red Bull recently discovered, a Chilean mountainside.
Red Bull TV’s new feature-length film ANYTIME follows a daring new generation of mountain bikers as they set out to conquer the world’s most extreme terrains. Bikers Brage Vestavik and Kade Edwards took on the daunting challenge of Chile’s “The Megadolon”, a 5,542 foot descent down a steep and snowy mountainside. This tense scene is set by “Köszöntsd a hajnalt”, the heavy yet serene third single off Thy Catafalque’s tenth album Vadak.

Pre-order & Pre-save
https://orcd.co/thycatafalquexiiagyonyorualmokezutanjonnekXII features many familiar faces from the project’s wide discography. Dreamy synths swirl amidst riffs that are both catchy and crushing. Traditional acoustic and classical instruments accompany production that’s slightly more modern. But A gyönyörű álmok ezután jönnek also ties back to Kátai’s past and the history of his home country.
“I felt it was time to move in a different direction, whatever that direction might be, but A gyönyörű álmok ezután jönnek still possesses the dreaminess that I’ve always associated with Thy Catafalque”, Kátai says. “There is a tinge of nostalgia, a tinge of sadness, a tinge of hope, a tinge of beauty and still a generous amount of metal”.
