Best Songs from Caligula's Horse's Moments from Ephemeral City Album
Caligula's Horse is an Australian progressive metal band formed in early 2011. Moments from Ephemeral City is their debut and was released on April 2nd 2011. This list will also include the tracks from Colossus, as it was added to the deluxe edition, and is in its track listing on Spotify.
The progression throughout is great, with a good mix of slow, sad parts, and fast, technical solos. The final 4 minutes of this song are absolutely breathtaking. The lyrics, while sounding depressing at first glance, still hold a powerful message. The solo at the end is also amazing.
It's just such a beautiful song in every way, the vocals are astounding, and the intro is near perfection. The intense emotion put into it is definitely the reason why it's a step above most other songs on the album.
It sounds like a much more 'poppy' song at the start, but I absolutely adore the vocal melody of it. The constant switch between loud and soft is also really nice. The way the song transforms at the halfway mark is also great.
This song is really good at making swearing impactful, as the few times they do it, it really catches you off guard and sounds really angry. Definitely a great song all around.
The piano intro is quite eerie, and the song in general is heavier and more fast paced in general. The keyboard is also used exceptionally.
This is definitely the best of the three instrumentals on the album, as it has a fair amount of variation to it and is just generally entertaining.
A nice song in general, focusing quite heavily on the vocals, which are of high quality.
It's a good instrumental, but it really felt like this one could have gone somewhere further.
I found this one to be somewhat dull in general, we didn't need two 3 minute long instrumentals so close to each other.
