Line-up Tamás Kátai - guitar, bass, keyboards, programs, vocals
Additional info The artwork was created by Portuguese photographer Rui Luz and THY CATAFALQUE mastermind Tamás Kátai. "The album title means 'vast, trackless forest' in obsolete Hungarian language", Tamás explains. "It's a kind of summary of what the whole record is about. This word is a symbol, it means more than merely a forest".
It was recorded that he, one of history's finest war commanders, kept a journal chronicling the major events of his life. However, something mysteriously strange happened shortly after his death; the last page of his diary was torn out never to be found again…
The Prophecy
"We had previously captured Belgrade, Rhodes and nearly Rome; the moment of penetrating the virgin leas of Hungary through its Carpathian Mountains has never been more propitious. And so, I marched. With an army of sixty thousand men, I marched. Until the sun darkened dim, I marched. Until it finally peered on the far side of a boundless tassel-withered cornfield somewhere near Makó - a vast, trackless forest girdled by a wreath of darkness and swollen mist perching nigh the field wherein we stood like the roaming shadow of Óðr. We stood staggered, leering at the beguiling woodland that God had left untrodden; torn by senescence, dust and solitude for only demons to feast on. The masterpiece was complete when a Septentrional draught stirred amidst the five giant trees guarding its gates revealing in the process the message that was engraved on the trunk of the tallest; the prophecy:
What? Isn't "Beautiful" descriptive enough? OK, fine then, what about "avant-garde atmospheric metal with BM roots"? Yeah, that's what I thought. Beautiful is better.
Oh shit. I can't believe what I just heard, Fekete Mezok is damn brilliant
Still have to listen to the other songs to rate the album, but if the its average quality is like the one in that song, I'll definitely give it a 9... Seriously, it's like... WHOA... o.o
oh yeah, I almost forgot, I'd also like to thank mastero87 and qlacs thanks guys, we depend on youD:

Yeah, that song is pretty boring if you ask me. Very misleading though, cus the rest of the album is baaaalllleeerrrrr. Vashegyek is a wicked jam fosho. >:[
Oh, and the first part of the solo in Kék ingem lobogó sounds like they got Robert Smith to lay out some sick melodies for it... Which is odd, because nothing else in the song reminds me of The Cure.
Pretty nice album, but I wouldn't call it avant-garde at all. What kept me from adding this album to the list of my favourite albums of 2011 is its repetitiveness.
And...
I wouldn't go that far. I gave it another chance today, and I must say Rengeteg is quite a nice album.
Truly labels can be misleading. When I read "avantgarde black metal" I expect to hear something like Ephel Duath, or Sigh, or Smohalla, for example. But the music that's presented on this album is closer to (dark) folk metal. At least, most of melodic lines have deep roots in folk music. And this is also the source of the album's greatest shortcoming, in my humble opinion - its repetitiveness. For example, in Kel keleti szél the same riff is played for almost all the 4 minutes that song lasts.
But there are also some bright moments, like the build-up in the beginning of Vashegyek, and some melodic lines are very catchy.
All in all, I'll be expecting some great music from this band in the future.
Lol, the "intro" into Holdkamp is a PA announcement at the Kiev railway station, and in the middle of the song they are using a phrase that was spoken in the morning before all central TV channels started their work in the Soviet Union (I guess). Translation in the video below.

Every time I come back to this album I have to listen to it for a few days. I absolutely love it. The two albums before it are spectacular as well. I don't even care about the translations- it's nice to know- but phonetically, Hungarian sounds quite alright to my ears. Easily my number 1 for 2011.
Good album indeed, catchy but complex at the same time. My favourite songs are Kel keleti szél and Kék ingem lobogó. I'm so proud this guy is from my country.
