    The name Caligula's horse comes from the historical legend that the Roman emperor Caligula, who was insane, planned to make his favourite horse Incitatus a consul.

    Thanks for doing my request! You described my first experience of listening to this song exactly! It was indeed hard to find the “center” at first with the off-kilter verses, but the groove definitely grows on you. Indeed, they had a new album come out last month and it’s definitely worth checking out. I became a fan when I saw them at ProgPower last year and they absolutely stole the show and blew everyone away. Even better live.

      A&P-REACTS I’m with Thomas, they’re better live for sure. I’ve seen them in Perth (Australia) a few times and they’re great every time.
      Check out Inertia + Cannons Mouth Live in Brisbane for an idea of how they sound.
      I’m sure they’ve got a video of Graves live as well

    If you go for another song by them, Graves is a masterpiece. Also if you like Caligulas Horse, check out Haken - The Architect. You havent done them yet and they are one of the best prog bands out of the 2010s.

      Yeah, Graves is their magnum opus. That sax solo!! It would definitely expand the guys’ idea of what this band can do. Plus, I think Pedro would really relate to and love the lyrics about fatherhood. Could be a cool experience for them to listen to together.

      @@evergrey4life955 I love Evegrey. Pity they haven't reacted to some of Evergrey's classic songs from ISOT, Recreation Day, the Inner Circle and why not Solitude..To me In Search Of Truth is in top 5 conceptual albums of all times. And CH has gradually become one of my favourite bands too. Interestingly enough, this new album is their favourite for me. Not that their previous ones were bad - many gems in it, but this one grabbed me so easily:) as a whole experience and probably made me appreciate more their older stuff too.

      Vladimir Velikov love to hear that! They definitely should do more Evergrey reactions. They (Evergrey) will bring out 1 new song this year in November and a new album next year in February. It will probably take the first place for 2021 for me because it can't be bad. It's impossible for Evergrey to release a bad album.

    Finally Caligula's Horse. Sam Vallen is an awesome songwriter and Jim Grey is amazing at vocals and writing lyrics. You should really check their song Graves from previous album. It's one of those songs that you don't only listen to, you just feel it.

    22 May was the new album out from Caligula's Horse. You have 4 more studio albums do listen to. The album *In Contact* from 2017 is also really good. Caligula's Horse is maybe one of my top 10 favorite *soft* bands out there. You need to listen more of this guys 👍

    If you're looking for some diversity in their style, I'd try out Salt and Autumn on their new album, Dream the Dead, Love Conquers All, and Capulet on their In Contact album, Bloom/Marigold, Rust, and Firelight on Bloom, just for starters. Their two previous albums before that are also pretty great.🤘
