Bio:
Named for the prized possession of Rome’s infamous despot, CALIGULA’S HORSE is a progressive alternative rock band from Brisbane, Australia.Channelling the raw honesty of rock and the skill of progressive metal into a seamless voice at once energetic, grand and forthright, CALIGULA’S HORSE offers devotees of all strains of powerful and progressive music something unique.Formed by Sam Vallen and Jim Grey in early 2011, CALIGULA’S HORSE released their debut album “Moments from Ephemeral City” in April of the same year. "Moments" is a colourful and dynamic foray into modern progressive music, at once vital, eclectic, and memorable. It was followed in 2013 by "The Tide, the Thief & River's End", a dark, powerful narrative concept album about isolation, exodus, and the human spirit overcoming insurmountable odds. It received international acclaim in the progressive music sphere, lauded by rock and metal fans alike. The release of "River's End" saw the group undertake an intense touring regime, including dates with the likes of OPETH, TESSERACT, MASTODON, THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, PROTEST THE HERO, THE OCEAN, FIREWIND, TWELVE FOOT NINJA, NE OBLIVISCARIS, and hundreds more. But for CALIGULA'S HORSE this is only the beginning. After joining the roster of THE AGENCY GROUP in North America, AMF Publishing in the UK, and signing with the prestigious German record label INSIDE OUT, the band's sights are firmly set on the rest of the world.2015 will see CALIGULA'S HORSE release their third record "Bloom", their most vivid, and emotional work to date. "Bloom" is the perfect mission statement for an act blurring the line between power and reflection; a musical assertion with depth enough for the most dedicated of prog fans, and with fire enough to bring audiences in venues across the world to fury and their voices to unison.
Album:
Brisbane-based Caligula's Horse has grown into one of the premiere progressive metal bands in the world since the inception in 2011. Combining raw rock power with immense emotional depth, the band returns with sixth studio album "Charcoal Grace", born of the static hopelessness that the pandemic forced upon the band and, indeed, much of the world, these past few years. It is an album reckoning with the experiences and outcomes of this time geared, ultimately, towards catharsis - moving towards a more hopeful future. The title "Charcoal Grace" is described by the band as "the grim allure and strange beauty in stillness, silence and loss". This can be heard through the album's 10-minute opening track "The World Breathes With Me", a mission statement for the album's main themes. Musically, it's a work of contrasts, moving from the lightest ebb to the heaviest flow. Meanwhile, the second track and first single from the album, "Golem", examines struggling with the weight of expectation through the pandemic. It's a heavy song with an emphasis on riffs and driving rhythms. At the center of the album is the 4-part title track suite, a 24-minute opus that pushes deeper into the album's foundational themes: connection, alienation and the ways humanity acts under duress. Musically, it covers every facet of the band's vocabulary: from heavy and dense orchestral-accompanied intensity embodying the song's darkest lyrical ideas, through to soft acoustic-driven moments and introspection. Having spent the last few years unable to fully represent their last album "Rise Radiant" to the world, Caligula's Horse is now ready to take "Charcoal Grace" to the masses in relentless fashion. With this album, Caligula's Horse has made a statement and they're ready for the world to listen.
