The brainchild of guitarist, songwriter and producer Sam Vallen, CALIGULA'S HORSE - initially composed of just Vallen and vocalist Jim Grey - released its digital debut “Moments From Ephemeral City” in April 2011, and received instant acclaim from lovers of all strains of progressive music across many continents. Originally intended as a studio-only project, Vallen and Grey put out feelers for a live band soon after the album's release, assembling the current lineup of Geoff Irish on drums, Zac Greensill on guitar and Dave Couper on bass and vocals.
CALIGULA’S HORSE's approach to songwriting is uncompromisingly eclectic, but no less accessible to audiences of all different musical styles. They take influence from such bands and artists as Devin Townsend, Pain Of Salvation, Opeth, Meshuggah, Porcupine Tree, Steve Vai, Frost, Periphery, Karnivool, Muse, Steely Dan, The Beatles, and Frank Zappa amongst many others.
After months of rehearsing the recorded material, and also recording two additional tracks as the “Colossus” EP - released in September of 2011 - the “C-HORSE”, as some devotees like to abbreviate it to kicked off with live shows in October 2011. These are early days for a diverse and enthusiastic bunch of young virtuosos, but 2012 looks to be the breakout year for CALIGULA’S HORSE.

lyrics courtesy of darklyrics:
Let them shout,
I am free as any man.
A moment worth a world,
I will not run,
You hear me?
Let them fly.
I am free as any man.
A moment worth a world,
I will not run.
Powerless to fly.
I pay it no mind.
That weight's just coins for my eyes.
But I'll dancing on my grave when dead men are not slaves.
I pay no mind.
This time I...
Feel that rain as we elevate.
Wash it away...
(never turn tail)
Feel that rain,
Even gods were made with feet of clay.
I am free as any man.
I will not run.
So keep your long goodbyes.
I pay them no mind.
I have been dust a long time.
I was born into that flame the day they took my name.
I pay no mind,
I feel that rain.
Effortlessly I turn my eyes,
And pay no mind to the darkened sky.
I won't take flight when the rest turn tail,
'Cause I know this moment's mine.
What empty hands can't claim is buried all the same.
I pay no mind,
I'll find my freedom in the moment I...
Feel that rain as we elevate.
Wash it away...
(never turn tail)
Feel that rain,
Even gods were made with feet of clay.
Even gods and their feet of clay stand and stare as it washes away.
Even gods and their feet of clay...
Unbind these hands,
I was stronger than a time when we all fought like there was no light.
Fought like our very flesh and bone could never falter.
Feel that rain as we elevate.
Wash it away...
(never turn tail)
Let them shout.
I am free as any man.
A moment worth a world.
I will not run,
You hear me?
Let them fly.
I am free as any man!
Feel that rain as we elevate.
Wash it away...
(never turn tail)
Feel that rain.
Even gods were made with feet of clay.
I will not run.

I'm a long time Dream Theater fan, but, their huge new album hasn't been able to bump Bloom out of the top of my favorite new release list. Bloom is the only new release that gets played every day while I'm working.
Turntail is my favorite song on the album, by the way. I was glad to see that it got an official video. You guys are great!
LouMan
CH latest singles are absolutely insane As far as DT the Portnoy years are the best
DragonBall Z Master
@boiafausultimate YO YES! They were the band that got me off Caligula for a min. Union became one of my fav albums quick. Every song is great
boiafausultimate
Guys, try Union, Ihlo's debut album, it rocks
Mike Micallef
Same here, been a huge dream theater fan for 20 years, but the last 6 years have not been so hot...
I just recently came across Calligulas Horse, and this song is absolutely fantastic.
If you havent already, check out Haken. Specifically, check out the album Visions. They're like if Dream Theater kept getting better and modernized their sound. All of their music is absolutely amazing, but Visions is their most Dream Theater like album.
Cheers, fellow music lover.

The Astonishing isn't horrible. Difficult, a little cheesy but musically brilliant Bro.
