Our Take

Australia's prog-rock outfit Caligula's Horse has re-emerged from the vast, mystical plains of the Outback with a fresh take on their 2008 release, "Moments From Ephemeral City." This re-issue, released in 2017, promises a nostalgic trip down memory lane, but with a modern twist that will have fans clamoring for more.

From the opening track, "The City Has No Empathy," it's clear that Caligula's Horse hasn't lost their dreamy, ethereal touch. Lead singer Jim Grey's haunting vocals soar over intricate guitar riffs and driving drums, creating a soundscape that is both mesmerizing and powerful.

The band's ability to seamlessly blend delicate melodies with heavy, head-banging riffs is on full display in tracks like "Silence" and "The Tide, the Thief & River's End." Each song tells a story, drawing listeners in with lush instrumentation and evocative lyrics.

But it's not all introspective ballads and epic solos - Caligula's Horse aren't afraid to inject a bit of quirkiness into their music. Tracks like "Equally Flawed" and "Ephemera" showcase the band's playful side, with unexpected twists and turns that will leave you grinning from ear to ear.

In a music scene saturated with copycats and trend-chasers, Caligula's Horse stands out as a truly original force. "Moments From Ephemeral City" is a re-issue that is sure to delight both old fans and newcomers alike, and proves that this band is here to stay. So grab your headphones, sit back, and let Caligula's Horse take you on a journey you won't soon forget.

About the artist

Caligula's Horse

Hailing from Australia, Caligula's Horse is a progressive metal band that is anything but conventional. With a sound that combines intense riffs, soaring vocals, and intricate melodies, the band has quickly made a name for themselves in the metal scene. Fronted by the charismatic Jim Grey, whose vocals range from hauntingly beautiful to downright brutal, Caligula's Horse is not your average metal band. Their music is not just loud and aggressive, but also thoughtful and introspective, with lyrics that tackle complex themes such as identity, mortality, and the human experience. But don't let their deep lyrics fool you - Caligula's Horse is also known for their energetic live performances, with Grey's stage presence drawing fans in like moths to a flame. The rest of the band, comprised of guitarists Sam Vallen and Adrian Goleby, bassist Dale Prinsse, and drummer Josh Griffin, hold their own on stage, creating a wall of sound that is both powerful and mesmerizing. With four studio albums under their belt, including the critically acclaimed "In Contact" and "Rise Radiant," Caligula's Horse shows no signs of slowing down. They continue to push the boundaries of what metal can be, blending genres and influences to create a sound that is uniquely their own. If you're looking for a band that will make you think as much as they make you headbang, look no further than Caligula's Horse. They are a force to be reckoned with in the world of progressive metal, and their music is not to be missed.
