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 got your way like lullabies
Is that the lie that you hoped for?
The closing fist and the butterfly
Tell me that's the way that you want it
And would you settle for a piece of enough?
A broken back to deliver
And would you carry your heart of gold
And sell us all down the river?

There's no saints
Save for the strength to stand
For the rise of the righteous man
Let time be the witness, the riot, the rain
There's no saints
Only the thunder in skin, the frailty
There's no saints
We are the rising cascade, the rolling wave
There's no saints to save me

Want me to watch like mother's eyes?
I got your witness here for you, I
I see the first and the last to be mine
Nothing more for my soul to magnify
I see the beauty in the bliss as it bleeds
I hear the thunder before me
And it wasn't a weight you gave me
Don't need no saint to save me

There's no saints
Save for the strength to stand
For the rise of the righteous man
But we are the tempest, the rapture, the rage
There's no saints
Only the storm and the sin, the beauty
There's no saints
We are the blood and the blame
The stone, the same
There's no saints to save me

The sea, the storm was always you
The call of the cascade
I see no god in here but you
The water, the cascade
And we could drown the world in truth, in concord
So dare I just let them set their fires?
They'll find no witness
I'll swear by no saints
