4.5 superbMelodeth | November 17th 24

Tamas creativity abounds with another mesmerizing foray into avant-grade (black) metal with the customary folk n synthesizer passages

4.0 excellentFerretmusic | November 22nd 24

Truth be told, last year's album, Alfld, was a bit of a disappointment to me, while it went for a more straight forward approach, I missed the eccentricities of the band. XII.... returns to this amongst a large list of guests that take the album through black metal, hungarian folk, psychedelic synth rock in way that it could be separate distinct albums but still works together as a whole

2.5 averageGary STAFF | November 14th 24

Very-very disappointed. "Piros Kocsi, Fekete j" and the title-track are super-super awesome, but the rest is... either way too "modernish" for my ears ("Mindenev?" or "Alhulls"), or simply way-too-out-of-place... why the hell is "Lydihoz" on this album? I don't get this Balkan music in the concept or style for this album at all. The lyrics are however very-very pretty, but altogether the album was my biggest disappointment.

This iteration of Thy Catafalque sees trad Hungarian folk grab its fair share of the soundscape, but that proposition mostly shines in the backhalf.

0.0 didnt ask to be staff, was made staff anyway, then got demoted for not doing staff stuff | December 3rd 24

I'm quite a Thy Catafalque sceptic and even I just admit that the bulk of this was stellar. I am still not the biggest fan of their grungy production that often works against the plethora of instruments they bring in as a feature, and the runtime as always is worthy of a trim, but the song-writing is their tightest in years and the crescendos do make me just the healthy nibble teary eyed.

3.5 greatcjbizzlebizzle | December 31st 24

The opener and 'Mindenevo' get things off to a very great start and the album as a whole stays high quality throughout. Thy Catafalque has (re?)introduced some guttarals and heavier elements into the mix and their style of blending proggy/avant metal and Hungarian folk music remains unique and a joy to listen to. 'Vilagnak vilaga' is another highlight showcasing excellent traditionally sung vocals. It is a bit hard to keep up with their albums as they tend to be prolific but I have never been burnt by them and they do the metal plus folk thing about as good as anyone. 'Vakond' is really cool as well.
