News : Caligula’s Horse Release New Album Details And Video Trailer

Caligulas Horse 2015

Brisbane’s Caligula’s Horse have been steadily building a name for themselves, with upcoming tours in Australia opening for The Dillinger Escape Plan (US) and TesseracT (UK), before hopping on a plane to open for Norway’s Shining in Europe later in the year.

In anticipation of this, the native proggers have announced they will be releasing their third full-length album, ‘Bloom’, on October 16 via InsideOut Music. The album is set to be released on a number of formats, including a Limited Edition Digipak CD, Vinyl LP with CD included, as well as digital download (the latter of which contains an exclusive bonus track).

Caligula’s Horse have released a special video message, introducing the band and talking about the album. You can find it below:

‘Bloom’ follows 2011’s colourful and dynamic debut ‘Moments From Ephemeral City’, and 2013’s critically acclaimed dark narrative concept album ‘The Tide, the Thief & River’s End’, an album that Metal Obsession hailed as ‘nearly perfect’.

“‘Bloom’ is very special to all of us – it’s an album full of colour and life, vibrancy and energy, but one that breathes in and out with a natural ebb and flow,” says lead vocalist Jim Grey. “It’s exactly what we hoped to achieve with Caligula’s Horse. To us, this album has a life of its own.” Equal parts grandiose and crushing, melodic and energetic, enjoy the first taste of Caligula’s Horse’s third record ‘Bloom’ right this moment.

Having secured deals with The Agency Group for live bookings, and signing an international record deal with lauded prog/metal label InsideOut Music (home to Devin Townsend, Spock’s Beard and Pain of Salvation), the band will tour Australia with UK metal heroes TesseracT this October, before embarking on an extensive month-long tour of Europe and the UK with Norwegian blackjazz innovators Shining.

Caligula’s Horse are known for their energetic live show and fierce stage presence, a quality that has seen them join the likes of Opeth, Mastodon, The Ocean and Protest The Hero on the stage and the road. This kind of intense touring regime will see them right at home.
