AUSTRALIAN PROGRESSIVE ROCK GROUP CALIGULA’S HORSE RELEASING NEW ALBUM ‘CHARCOAL GRACE’ RAW ROCK POWER WITH EMOTIONAL DEPTH!

SPECIAL LIVE EVENT WITH LEAD GUITARIST/SONGWRITER SAM VALLEN FROM AUSTRALIA!

 

Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho.

Caligula’s Horse, hailing from Brisbane, Australia, are a leading light in contemporary progressive metal. Their colourful and emotional music, spanning influences as diverse as King Crimson, Steely Dan, Opeth, and Jeff Buckley, has forged a deep and lasting connection with fans across the globe. In 2020, Caligula’s Horse released their most focused and potent artistic statement yet: Rise Radiant, an uncompromising exploration of the human experience dressed in vivid musical color and virtuosic performances.

The brand-new release by Caligula’s Horse is entitled Charcoal Grace and 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.

The title Charcoal Grace is described by the band as “the grim allure and strange beauty in stillness, silence, and loss”. 

At the center of the album is the 4-part title track suite, a 24-minute opus that pushes deeper into the album’s foundational themes: connection, alienation, and the ways humanity acts under duress. Musically, it covers every facet of the band’s vocabulary, from heavy and dense orchestral-accompanied intensity embodying the song’s darkest lyrical ideas, through to soft acoustic-driven moments and introspection. Charcoal Grace will be Officially released on Jan. 26th. But the album is available for preorder.

Please welcome lead guitarist, musical director producer, and songwriter for Australian progressive metal band Caligula’s Horse, who is also a music educator and holds a doctorate in music from the Queensland Conservatorium … SAM VALLEN TO INTERVIEWING THE LEGENDS …
