Ik voelde een héél pak meer bij de eerste beide singles. Deze lijkt wat op een overgangetje tussen meer interessante songs. Misschien zelfs een beetje gewoontjes voor de man zijn doen. En toch is dit opnieuw een erg lekkere song, héél erg dansbaar, heel erg feelgood. Het is zo'n song die je pas apprecieert binnen de context van een volledig album.
XII: A gyönyörű álmok ezután jönnek comes verschijnt op 15 November 2024 via Season of Mist.

Having won two consecutive Fonogram awards, Thy Catafalque is now recognized as Hungary's leading thinker in the field of progressive metal. In true prolific fashion, Tamás Kátai didn't dwell over his upcoming twelfth album for too long. XII arrives just one year after the heavy and haunting Alföld. It isn't a concept album, but A gyönyörű álmok ezután jönnek does take you on a serious head trip.
"I like to think of XII as a dark night of the soul", Kátai says.
This introspective journey begins with "Piros kocsi, fekete éj". In English, A gyönyörű álmok ezután jönnek's opening track and final advanced single means "Red Carriage, Black Night", though you don't need a translator to enjoy the ride. The song shows off this album's slick new paint job, gliding off through a fresh mist of piping keys.
"I felt like the production had had largely been the same since Geometria", Kátai admits.
He does play every instrument on "Piros kocsi, fekete éj", including the twin engine guitars that rev with enough reverb to carve through the Hungarian mountainside. But for the first time in the project's long and varied history, A gyönyörű álmok ezután jönnek had Kátai seeking some help from an outside producer. Granted, Gábor Vári is no stranger to Thy Catafalque. Banging heads on stage during the live album Mezolit gave him first-hand knowledge as to how its mastermind turns the gears.
"Gábor was the perfect co-producer", Kátai says. "He helped me give this album a somewhat different, more modern sound while still making it feel familiar".
