There are a great many prog bands scattered all over the mighty metalsphere. And then, there’s prog royalty. Not many make it to those august heights with their rarified atmosphere. But Caligula’s Horse surely is one of the selected few. Now, let’s be frank: they appeared once again on RMR just to see if they could meet the swagger and meaty weight of Haken‘s latest feisty cut. Because – you see – Rise Radiant didn’t quite convince over here and just about made it onto acceptable territories. Even if it was – in itself – proof of sturdy prog … [...] Click to raid more!

Did you ever hear about the Wow Signal? A limited, short burst of data that seemed to hint at intelligent origins. ET, where art thou, that kind of thing. Well, many of you might not be aware of the story, it all happened back in 1977. And it was very short-lived, too. Somewhat of a microburst that vanished as quickly as it appeared.

The latter one is usually driven by often bizarre tenets that must be followed. Because the powers that be demand it, whoever that might be, by the way. The road to hell is paved with good intentions, as the proverb goes.

Now, with this band, we don’t quite know where things are heading to. Caligula’s Horse released their fourth record this year, which … [...] Click to raid more!

It appears that a somewhat limited, yet pretty high-octane offering of prog will pass over the RMR review counter this year. And that’s a good thing. Even if we would have liked to see more, much more.

After the 2019 disappointment that Leprous produced, the deckhands on this RMR cruiser really look forward to some revival of Progressive Metal. Yet, Steven Wilson already telegraphed his urge to exploit the cheesily sweet pop soundscape worse than his current release To The Bone ever dared. And his next record will only show signs of life by January 2021, which may not be … [...] Click to raid more!
