Hungarian Black Metal one-man band MERCULISTARYA reveal the second single taken off debut album “Áradó fájdalom a tűnődés medrében” which is set to be released on Pest Records and Metal Ör Die Records this February 20th.

About the new single: “This composition was inspired by a sad event. The death of my grandfather. The title also symbolizes that while the deceased body sinks underground, the soul breaks out of its prison and becomes free. In the entire story of the album, it is a processing of a death that inflicts new wounds on the soul of our protagonist.” Árpád Szenti
The album “Áradó fájdalom a tűnődés medrében” is the deeply personal and emotional work of Árpád Szenti, known from his work in bands like Thy Catafalque, Ahriman, Athame or Damnation, and is available for pre-order here: https://pestrecords.bandcamp.com/
About the album: “Áradó fájdalom a tűnődés medrében is a concept album, each song connected, each meaning intertwined, forming a single immersive narrative. It follows a thorn‑ridden path of struggle, fear, disappointment, madness, resignation, and death, contrasted against the vastness of nature, its elemental force, its mysticism, and the unseen dimensions that pulse beneath reality.
This album is a fragment of my soul. Through MERCULISTARYA, I unearthed emotions and energies that could not have surfaced through any other form of expression.
MERCULISTARYA is a long‑standing personal vision, a vessel through which my inner world takes musical form. Rooted in the darker currents of old‑school Black Metal, it draws from the place where the genre first spoke to me. The earliest foundations were laid in 2002, when the songs began to take shape, guided by dreams, shadows, and the subconscious landscapes that inspired both the music and the lyrics.
Despite years of obstacles, the album was first recorded in 2009 but remained unreleased as my focus shifted toward the bands in which I served as drummer (Athame, Ahriman, Sentio Ergo Sum, Damnation, Fagyhamu, Voidshrine, and Thy Catafalque). MERCULISTARYA was set aside, waiting for its moment.
In 2024, with renewed experience and a stronger technical foundation, I chose to resurrect the material and re‑record the entire work. This final version is the true realization of what the project was always meant to be.” Árpád Szenti
