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

Wait
You're holding your breath and not your ground, we're here again
With a head full of war, you need it to fill the fight in your hands
So scream at the wall, an echo calm spits back to say
"I will not falter"
Wait
Pacify, survive, time's no symmetry
You rattle the cage but to be still is not to be weak
And you'll never run until you've got the strength to be on unsteady feet

Collide
Breathe with me
Peace is not your enemy
Call for the Valkyrie

It's not impossible
It's just the end of your reach
This is not forever
Valkyrie
The song inside us all
This is it
You and me
We bleed impossible

Oh, it's alright
Can't you see the wonder in the wait?
It's never too late
It's alright now
Gravity is growth, we're not there yet
Can't you see the wonder in the waiting?
It's alright

Choose the way
Unafraid and the wait hasn't even begun
Together we choose the way (We choose the way)
Collide
Choose the way
You can fight for the quiet, the old war
Together we choose the way (We choose the way)
Collide
Choose the way
The alive will strive to sever
Untethered, we choose the way
We're not there yet

Clinging to the weight of the world
To static, the martyr to pride
But you are the war
The spite and its author
You and I were born unready
To stumble, to see
Peace was never your enemy
Go on and call for the Valkyrie

It's not impossible
It's just the end of your reach
This is not forever
Valkyrie
The song inside us all
This is it
You and me
We bleed impossible

Oh, it's alright
Can't you see the wonder in the wait?
It's never too late
It's alright now
Gravity is growth, we're not there yet
Can't you see the wonder in the waiting?
Oh, it's alright
