Product Description
Contents: This is the fifth album from Caligula's Horse, Australia's proud progressive metal band. Built upon a storm of odd time signatures, complex songwriting, and solid playing technique, their world overflowing with melancholy and beauty represents a pinnacle of progressive rock! Caligula's Horse is an Australian progressive metal band. Formed in 2010, they made their album debut the following year with "Moments from Ephemeral City." In 2013, they released their second album, "The Tide, the Thief, and River's End." This concept album caught the attention of Inside Out Music, a major German progressive metal label, and Caligula's Horse secured a worldwide record deal. After the release of their third album, "Bloom," they toured with big names such as Opeth, Mastodon, and Anathema, and Caligula's Horse's name quickly became known among progressive rock fans. Released in 2017, their fourth album, "In Contact," also on Inside Out, was a commercial success, reaching the Top 50 on the Australian music charts. Now, Caligula's Horse's fifth album, the long-awaited new release, is "Rise Radiant." Described as their most intense, most moving, most varied, most dense, most poetic, and most evil yet, this album is undoubtedly the band's greatest masterpiece to date. Influences range from King Crimson, Steely Dan, and Opeth to Jeff Buckley, showcasing a wide range of musical styles. Despite being subjected to a storm of complex time signatures, the melancholic vocals always retain their beauty, and the album never loses its accessibility. The way their solid technique constructs an overwhelming worldview is an ideal example of progressive metal. A must-listen for prog fans and heavy metal fans alike.
