In just under ten years Caligula's Horse from Brisbane, Australia have played their way into the prog metal upper league. While the debut "Moments From Ephemeral City" (2011) remained largely unnoticed, the quintet's career gradually took off with the 2013 concept album "The Tide, The Thief & River's End" (at the time our "Album of the Month").
