For your viewing pleasure.
Brisbane prog-metal outfit Caligula's Horse are having a week to remember following their win at last night's Queensland Music Awards, with the release of a brand new music video.
The quintet picked up the Heavy Award for Marigold, one of the tracks from their acclaimed third album, Bloom, released late last year. Check out the full list of winners here.
"We're very grateful for this award, it's a rare pleasure to be recognised in this way - but music isn't a competition," frontman Jim Grey said.
"As artists we should all show each other love and support, and celebrate each other's success."

The win coincides with the release of the video for another song from the latest record, Turntail, another visually stunning clip from the group.
Speaking to theMusic about the video, which features a solo female dancer, Grey said, "I’d had the idea of using a female dancer in the back of my head for a long time and particularly in this context it’s actually a reverse justification.
"In all the posters that we’ve used for the promotion of the tour there's a little piece of art of a dancer and she’s lithe and colourful and there’s a stone grey version of her, like she’s escaping herself. So it ended up being quite strong and I’m hoping once it’s out there people will understand the message that we have."
Grey also opened up about the song's context regarding refugee advocacy, which the singer admits to having strong feelings about.
"I have strong political opinions but I don’t believe that taking away the rights of innocent children and imprisoning them indefinitely when they have literally done nothing wrong is a political opinion," Grey said.
"I don’t think believe that has anything to do with politics and I do believe we’re a nation of cowards for doing what we’re doing. I don’t think that’s a political opinion at all, I think that’s just being a reasonable god damn person. So that does tend to speak through my lyrics, definitely in the stories we tell."

Caligula's Horse will commence their national tour next month, proudly presented by theMusic.
