Thy Catafalque's ''Roka Hasa Radio'' was really one of the best black metal albums I
have ever heard in my short life.So, once again, the expectations were
dangerously high. ''Rengeteg'' is very similar to its predecessor, it is
actually the twin album of ''Roka Hasa Radio'': the production is the same,
the drums and guitars sound, the songwriting very similar etc. This is
not bad, the band has established a personal mark and works it over
developing it. The mixture of black metal, industrial sounds and folk
atmosphere/melodies (without the actual use of folk instruments) is
again stunning and highly original. I don't get the lyrics but I very
easily sneak into the dreamy world of the Hungarian combo every time I
listen to their music. I still prefer their debut since it included some
really incredible tracks and parts but ''Rengeteg'' is an excellent
follow-up.
