Tamás Kátai has a vision that extends far beyond his native Hungary, but Thy Catafalque’s twelfth album is tied to both its mastermind's past and the history of his home country.

Uncover the many hidden meanings behind A gyönyörű álmok ezután jönnek during Thy Catafalque's upcoming Reddit AMA. You can ask Kátai about anything - his favorite black metal album, climbing through the Scottish Highlands, his dream collaborator, childhood memories of Hungary or even his plans for the next album (which is already well in the works!)

Thy Catafalque Reddit AMA on r/Metal Thursday, 14 November 10:00-11:00 Eastern Time (16:00-17:00 Central European Time)

As always, if you have a question that you would like to ask but are unable to attend, feel free to drop a question in this thread here and we will do our best to ask Tamás for you.

This one, one of the most enganging sagas

It is a recollection of perseverance and omens

Of Hypnotizing protocol and whimsical chivalry

Suggesting spaceless landscapes and enshrined memories

For the migration to the desolated lands

Menaced too by the Extinction the greatest and rawest of all

Shattered, fragmented. but always with face towards the sun

The dying one, the fifth of the Purifiers

The Plan for this Curse, the avenging dawn bringer

Heraldic Colossus, my ironwill on fire

Burning the already charred mists of imperfection

As the summoning grows in defeat

The radiates Ectoplasm from the Wraiths

This, the Omnipotent Codex...

Symbols and cryptic annotations of the past

Serve me in the upcoming retaliation of this present

And pave the road to the baneful future

For your essence is still haunting the Cult

(And we all hail this omnipotent source of perception)

This is a discussion thread to share thoughts, memories, or first impressions of albums which have lived through the decades. Maybe one first heard this when it came out or are just hearing it now.

Use this time to reacquaint yourself with classic metal records or be for certain you really do not "get" whatever record is being discussed.

The Chasm would cap off their initial productive run by signing to Earache sublabel Wicked World for this, their sixth album. Shrinking to a three-piece lineup with the loss of their bassist, the bass duties on the record would be split between the two guitarists, Julio Viterbo and frontman Daniel Corchado. While the band never broke up, it would be five years before the release of the largely instrumental follow-up Farseeing the Paranormal Abysm, and then another nine before the band - now a two-piece consisting of Corchado and drummer Antonio Leon - would release the entirely instrumental record A Conscious Creation from the Isolated Domain - Phase I. The Scars of a Lost Reflective Shadow would follow in 2022.
