Meta is the new album from Thy Catafalque and it has just been announced! The Hungarian avant-garde metal outfit of mastermind Tamás Kátai shared its first details today. The album is set for release on September 16th, 2016 on CD and LP on Season Of Mist. For now, you can check out the cover art, tracklist, and also stream the first single "Mezolit" here. So, how is the successor to last year's Sgùrr sounding so far?

Tamás Kátai commented: "The track 'Mezolit' ('Mesolithic') features two vocalists taking my place - my old friend, Lambert Lédeczy from Ahriman, Mörbid Carnage, and Tyrant Goatgaldrakona and Gyula Vasvári from Perihelion delivering the clean vocals. The song itself is set in prehistoric times, we cannot fully comprehend and at least for me it breathes a feeling of timelessness, like existing through aeons."

"The Greek term 'Meta' originally meant 'beyond, over, through', which corresponded to my vision of a journey through different times and life forms. I am fascinated by the idea of a circle of life, of existence in another form after the disintegration of our bodies, how we dissolve into earth, and how something very different is built from our cells that is still derived from the most basic elements of life. Musically speaking, a great number of guest musicians have contributed to 'Meta'. Apart from Gyula and Lambert, Attila Bakos and Ágnes Tóth are each back for one song, and also Zoltán Kónya (Gire). Balázs Tóth from Casketgarden appears on lead guitar in one track and there are some oboe and cello as well. I assume all in all, 'Meta' comes across a tad friendlier than Sgùrr was."
