Caligula's Horse - "Oceanrise" (video)

Το βίντεο των Caligula's Horse για το "Oceanrise" από το album "Rise Radiant"
Weaver, wait
Beg the illness
Plead for stillness
Where the mountain’s made

Run, you always run
Like you need disaster
Was it fate you’re after?

You run, you always run
Flee your fate to find it
Run, Precious nothing
There’s no heaven here

There’s your ocean rise
A legacy in living
A promise in an ending, triumphant
Your ocean rise
Setting sun
The desert cannot drown the water
Be the flood, be the ocean

Weave away
Standing still is for the fearless
You were learning to run

To burning lungs, death came as an ocean
One with her wild devotion
It’s done, The fight was won,
but foam and fury’s in our blood
So run, just like you always run
The desert cannot drown the flood

It’s your ocean rise
A legacy in living
A promise in an ending, triumphant
Your ocean rise, Setting sun
The desert cannot drown the water
Be the flood, be the ocean

We rise into the epitaph,
an end to measure man
We rise, here where the body shapes
The mountain where you stand
The ocean rises alive

It’s your ocean rise
A legacy in living
A promise in an ending, triumphant
Your ocean rise, Setting sun
The desert cannot drown the water
Be the flood, be the ocean


Ο αυτοκράτορας της Ρώμης Γάιος Ιούλιος Καίσαρας Αύγουστος Γερμανικός (γνωστότερος ως Καλιγούλας) είχε εκφράσει την πρόθεσή του να κάνει ύπατο τον θείο του (Κλαύδιο). Κάποιος σχολίασε ότι θα ήταν καλύτερο να κάνει ύπατο το άλογό του παρά τον Κλαύδιο (τον οποίο προφανώς θεωρούσε παντελώς ακατάλληλο για τη θέση). Ο Καλιγούγας (ως μέγα τρολ) έκανε τον Ινκιτάτο (το άλογό του) ύπατο της Ρώμης. Η ιστορία αυτή ενέπνευσε μία μπάντα από την Αυστραλία επιλέγοντας ως όνομα το Caligula's Horse.

Progressive Metal / rock μπάντα που δημιουργήθηκε προ δεκαετίας, αναφέρει ως επιρροές μπάντες / καλλιτέχνες όπως οι Devin Townsend, Opeth, Steely Dan, Jeff Buckley, Muse, Pain of Salvation, Steeleye Span, the Beatles, Frank Zappa, Steve Vai, Tori Amos, Lunatic Soul, Katatonia, Tracey Chapman, A Perfect Circle κλπ κι έχει κυκλοφορήσει πέντε "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους (συν ένα ep). Ο πέμπτος και πλέον πρόσφατος φέρει τον τίτλο "Rise Radiant" και "βγήκε" τον περασμένο μήνα...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Caligula’s Horse, hailing from Brisbane, Australia, are a leading light in contemporary progressive metal. Their colourful and emotional music, spanning influences as diverse as King Crimson, Steely Dan, Opeth, and Jeff Buckley, has forged a deep and lasting connection with fans across the globe.

Caligula’s Horse have taken ambitious strides with every release, maintaining a course of continual artistic development and reinvention. Formed in 2011, the band garnered critical acclaim for their eclectic and exploratory debut, 'Moments from Ephemeral City' (2011), and its dark, conceptual follow-up, 'The Tide, the Thief & River's End' (2013).

But Caligula's Horse truly made their mark worldwide with their vibrant and hard-hitting third album, 'Bloom' (2015), the first on prestigious German record label, Inside Out. It was on the back of this record that the group expanded its touring regime beyond Australia, including shows with the likes of Mastodon, Opeth, the Dillinger Escape Plan, Tesseract, and Anathema.

Caligula’s Horse’s fourth album, 'In Contact' (2017), with its grand concept and expansive dynamics, was the first to break the Australian ARIA Top 50 Chart. Its critical and commercial success saw the band grow its reach tremendously, packing out venues across Australia, the UK, and Europe, and touring the Americas for the first time.

In 2020, Caligula’s Horse look forward to releasing their most focussed and potent artistic statement yet: 'Rise Radiant', an uncompromising exploration of the human experience dressed in vivid musical colour and virtuosic performances.

It is the culmination of the band’s artistic development, concentrating the expressive stylings which have endeared Caligula’s Horse to legions of fans worldwide. But it is also far more. 'Rise Radiant' is the Caligula’s Horse sound pushed to its extremes: at once its most ferocious and its most touching, its most expansive and its most condensed, its most poetic and its most vicious.

'Rise Radiant' is an anthem for the regeneration of self-belief, an exploration of the themes of legacy, and a rallying cry for survival. The release of 'Rise Radiant' will be accompanied by a world tour, with Caligula’s Horse visiting more countries than ever before, kicking off in the North American 2020 summer.»
