I didn’t know there was avant garde metal, but Thy Catafalque claim to be it. Hailing from Mako, Hungary, apparently they started off as black metal sounding then started doing other types of stuff.

This sounds like a pretty straightforward power metal track. According to the Youtube description it’s a cover of a song originally done by the “Hungarian space rock band Omega” so I’m going to have to look for them next. Hungarian space rock sounds awesome.

I listened to a couple other Thy Catafalque songs, and they’re pretty interesting. They seem to bounce around from ambient modern jazzy tracks like A kupolaváros titka to synthwavy to brutal chuggy metal like Szarvas. Very fun stuff, also it’s neat to hear a band stretch out a bit. Or at the very least the stretching feels like it’d fit into different bits of Dream Theatre tracks.
