And here’s what they say about it, @neastwizardtyrant.bsky.social
Thy Catafalque •
• • •
5h •
So, as it has been posted yesterday, our next album is coming on November 20 via Season of Mist. This is going to happen almost exactly 2 years after the previous record. The title is XIII: Sárga erdö, meaning Yellow Forest in English.
More details are coming next week, until then please read what the label says about the album and enjoy the autumn.
XIII: Sárga erdö is Thy Catafalque's thirteenth album, and unlike its predecessors it carries no single narrative thread— the twelve tracks move instead through what plays like a wandering across old ground, touching on loss, distance, memory and disappearance without ever settling on one story. The record marks a real shift in how it's built: this is the first time Thy Catafalque has used a live drummer rather than programmed rhythm, and while the cast is enormous-thirty-four musicians plus a twenty-voice male choir-the folk and classical textures that once flooded every corner of a song (piano, strings, brass, reed, sitar, kamancheh, zither) are used here with real discipline, brought in only when a track calls for them. The result sits closer to the bone than the maximalism of the last record, heavier in restraint than in volume, and it still finds room for a fictitious folk song built tor a vanished people on the Volga, an incineration metaphor turned into the album's heaviest cut, and an opener that reads like a farewell letter. Gábor Vári returns behind the desk for a second record running, keeping the production language consistent even as the arrangements pull back.

The bulldog meme shamed so many dudes out of skinny jeans altogether when a high-waisted pair would let them look killer even in a crop top. #fashionsky
Original meme of bulldog with low waist skinny jeans added on: implied message was older dudes were too fat to wear themOriginal image but made jeans high waisted and put on a white crop top: this is not AI photoshop but basic markers on the phone style and all the better for it
