(Progressive Metal/Rock) Caligula's Horse - Colossus (EP) - 2011, FLAC (tracks), Web-релиз, lossless

Colossus is a sort of "add-on" to Caligula's Horse's debut Moments From Ephemeral City; an album that Jim and myself wrote, recorded, and released ourselves.

Soon after the album's release we were joined by three incredible musicians: Zac Greensill, my right hand man and co-guitarist; Dave Couper, the man with the voice of an angel, and the six-string fretless bass chops of a demon; and Geoff Irish, the Goblon King and polyrhythm master.

It felt a shame to have these incredible musicians in my band, playing my music live but with no recorded output. I decided to write some songs with the intention of showing these guys off.

Colossus is a little bit varied: there's Purdie Shuffles, Djent in triplet meter, obtuse jazz changes, layered vocal harmonies and some very high sung notes. It's complex but still catchy and I think it's a phenomenal little follow up to Moments From Ephemeral City, and also an interesting segue into whatever Caligula's Horse do next.
