Ep. 37: Rise Radiant - Caligula's Horse (feat. Caligula's Horse)
In just ten short years, Australian prog metal group Caligula\u2019s Horse has crafted five studio albums that have quickly given them notoriety as one of the most innovative bands in the genre. Destin and Drew discuss their highly praised album, Rise Radiant, with the writing duo of this remarkable band, Jim Grey (vocals) and Sam Vallen (guitars). In addition to Drew embarrassing them with reviews, Jim and Sam share their thoughts on the nature of \u201cprogressive\u201d music and emphasize the importance of purpose when writing each musical section. Perhaps it\u2019s the combination of Jim\u2019s emphasis on stimulus-response and Sam\u2019s emphasis on audiation that makes this album so fresh. Or perhaps it\u2019s the musical motifs meticulously woven into each track. Maybe it\u2019s the tenderness of the lyrics on gentler tracks juxtaposed against the crunchy guitars and complex rhythms on more aggressive tracks. All of these elements and more enter the conversation on this episode! #deerbutt
