Caligula's Horse : Charcoal Grace : PROG Metal Masterpiece - Full Review
Caligula’s Horse returns with its 6th studio album, Charcoal Grace (2024)
Influenced by pandemic-era experiences, the album is described by the band as being about, “The grim allure and strange beauty of stillness, silence, and loss.”
At the centre 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-enhanced intensity embodying the song’s darkest lyrical ideas, through to soft acoustic moments of introspection.
Even though this is the Australian Bands 6th album it is the first one I have heard and I love it.
For fans of Opeth, Dream Theater, Steven Wilson, Riverside etc
