Album Review: Caligula's Horse - In Contact

It's very rare, but some bands, even when several albums into their career, manage to keep topping themselves with everything they release. Brisbane's Caligula's Horse, now four albums in, is one of those bands.

In short, In Contact is a masterpiece. End to end, the playing, production and most importantly songcraft, are relentlessly magnificent, and the deeply personal concept that runs the length of the record and infiltrates all of its imagery works to a finely honed T. All culminating in the stunning 15 and a half minute closer Graves.

This album sets new standards, both for themselves and for progressive heavy music in general. In Contact is a work of unimaginable beauty.
