COLOSSUS

Caligula's Horse - What can I say? This band is absolutely wonderful. I feel lucky to have shared the stage with this bunch of talented Australian musicians. This 2 track offering is slightly more straightforward to my ears but it really packs a punchy considering the art undertones that permeate its musical existence. The musicianship this time comes in the form of a full band as opposed to the debut two-man-band approach (which was albeit very successful sonically), which provided me with more enjoyment and was perceived as a well rounded affair. Little can be said apart from the fact that Caligula's Horse have a unique approach to Prog Metal which is not found too often in the world of Symphony X and Dream Theater clones. Sam Vallen and Jim Grey proove that they are perhaps the most exciting guitarist and singer in an Australian metal band. I look forward to more releases especially with the unified front of band members that make this EP slam so much harder than the debut album. 4.5 Stars.
