Biography

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 saw CALIGULA’S HORSE release their third record “Bloom”, their most vivid, and emotional work to that 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.

LYRICS

You were leading us into autumn
You, the dream of the hopeful
You were here to stay
And you’ll soon see that yours was the strong heart
From youth to open arms
Embrace all the change that was coming

And all we thought we knew for all of yesterday
We were only children
The way forward, through
All we thought we knew

You were dreamed by love into the world
Truth
For the last time I shed my skin and breathe in the colour

And all we thought we knew for all of yesterday
We were only human
The way forward, through
All we thought we knew

You
You were leading us into autumn
Ever forward
You
You were leading us into autumn
Ever forward
Before the change is through
Change is coming
When all I am is you
Leading time to river’s toil as the hollow takes shape
Leading myth to mother soil
Being made and unmade

Change has always been this way
Change has always been this way

As light is ever sent over rubble to reign
The all will always end where the nothingness stays

Change was always on its way
Change has always been this way

Change, the mother
Nothing falls into stillness;
Time is the motion
Change, the mother
In the sum of our silence
Time waits for no one

So who am I to stay the colours as they change?
To call for silence in my pride
And bring stillness to sunrise?

You
You were leading us into autumn
Ever forward
You
You were leading us into autumn
Ever forward
Before the change is through
Change is coming
When all I am is you
You were leading us into autumn
Ever forward
You
You were leading us into autumn
Ever forward
And I will wait ahead
Change is coming
To stand and mark the way
