Tamás Kátai wrote a folk song that never existed for the Hungarian avant-garde project’s thirteenth album, recorded with live drums for the first time.

The story
Thy Catafalque have released a video for “Cseremisz” (“Cheremis”), the third single from XIII: Sárga erdő, out on 20/11/2026 through Season of Mist. It follows “Búcsú a piros madártól” and “Tömbök”.
Season of Mist says Tamás Kátai invented the song as a folk song of the Mari people, who live along the Volga and Kama rivers, and built it from traditional instruments and a choir, including the Male Choir of Tiszaföldvár.
The twelve-track album was recorded at various locations and at Miracle Sound Szeged, with live drums for the first time in the project’s history and thirty-four musicians and vocalists alongside a twenty-voice male choir.

Our take
Thy Catafalque are the most adventurous name on this list, and this single is closer to folk than metal. The album as a whole is still one for anyone who followed Kátai from his black metal roots.
Bottom line
Pre-order or pre-save through Season of Mist; the album is out on 20/11/2026.
