BLOOM

Ranking every song: 1. Bloom - Really good, but a bit short. Bad thing is this song is a part of the next one... 4.5 / 5 2. Marigold - I dont get the hype about this song. People say it is the best on the album however i think this song is boring and I listen to only because of Bloom because o ... (read more)

Released on Inside Out, one of the world leading contemporary prog rock and metal labels, Bloom is the third album of Australian prog-metallers Caligula's Horse and is the record that made the Aussies known to the prog world ? gaining them interviews in the UK Prog magazine and wide coverage on vari ...

Over the past few years, Caligula's Horse have cemented themselves as quite possibly the leading act in a flourishing Australian prog metal scene. This is, in no small part, thanks to the tight and dynamic BLOOM, their third album and quite possibly the most representative of the band's excellent br ... (read more)

Caligula's Horse have cohesive songwriting, They write slick tracks, binding heaviness and borderline tech 'Marigold' with expansive melancholy 'Dragonfly'. They can knock out tracks that I wouldn't be surprised to hear on the radio 'Rust' or extremely epic and catchy choruses 'Turntail', and son ... (read more)

This album came with a sticker on the front stating something along the lines of.. 'For fans of Opeth, Haken, Porcupine Tree, Karnivool, and Riverside' which is pretty fitting albeit broad.

Following in the wake of (the exceptional, and should most certainly be included in the collection of any prog-metal fan) "The Tide, The Thief & River's End" (Which remains as one of my all-time top 10 favorites), Caligula's Horse comes back with another wonderfully enjoyable epic: Bloom.

The hiss crackles in and we are welcomed with the soothing tones of pastoral acoustics and the delightfully gentle timbre of Jim Grey in tender mode.

If it weren't for progressive/alternative rock/metal band Caligula's Horse, I might've simply passed over some of my current favorite records, including their 2013 hit 'The Tide, The Thief & River's End.' A modern staple in the alt-prog scene, it only took two albums from Caligula's Horse to gra ... (read more)
