Nagaarum

**Nagaarum** is the brainchild of Hungarian multi-instrumentalist Tamás Kátai, best known for his avant-garde metal project Thy Catafalque. Operating as a solo venture, Nagaarum blends raw black metal with experimental, ambient, and folk influences, creating a sound that feels both chaotic and meditative. Kátai’s work under this alias often explores existential themes, nature, and human frailty, delivered through lo-fi production that adds gritty authenticity to his atmospheric compositions.

Recent releases like *Templom* (2021) and *Covid Diaries* (2020) showcase his knack for weaving bleak soundscapes with introspective lyricism, while earlier albums like *Homo Maleficus* (2014) and *Apples* (2016) highlight his evolution from straightforward black metal to more genre-defying experimentation. Nagaarum remains a hidden gem for fans of underground metal, embodying a DIY spirit and a refusal to stick to genre boundaries.
