Caligula’s Horse, hailing from Brisbane, Australia, are a leading light in contemporary progressive metal. Their colourful, heavy yet emotional music draws from influences as diverse as Pain of Salvation, King Crimson, Steely Dan, Opeth, Meshuggah, and Jeff Buckley.

 

Formed in the early 2010's by guitarist Sam Vallen and vocalist Jim Grey, Caligula’s Horse have released six highly acclaimed albums and have most recently completed a mammoth world tour, showcasing their latest album 'Charcoal Grace'.

Charcoal Grace is the 6th studio album of the band, and it combines raw rock power with immense emotional depth. Charcoal Grace is borne of the static hopelessness that the pandemic forced upon the band and, indeed, much of the world, these past few years. It is an album reckoning with the experiences and outcomes of this time geared, ultimately, towards catharsis - moving towards a more hopeful future.

Their colourful and emotional music has forged a deep and lasting connection with fans across the globe.
