Caligula's Horse Announce New Album Details

Melding the forthright intensity of rock with the skill and inventiveness of progressive metal, Brisbane's Caligula's Horse have announced the release of their 3rd record Bloom through InsideOutMusic on October 16th, 2015 in EU & October 30th, 2015 in US, as well as extensive Australian and European tour dates.

Now the band can reveal that the album will arrive on Limited Edition Digipak CD, Vinyl LP with CD included & digital download (incl. one exclusive bonus track).

The full track-listing can be found below:
1. Bloom
2. Marigold
3. Firelight
4. Dragonfly
5. Rust
6. Turntail
7. Daughter of the Mountain
8. Undergrowth

The band have posted a special video message, telling you a little bit about the album and introducing the band:

Bloom follows 2011's colourful and dynamic debut Moments from Ephemeral City, and 2013's critically acclaimed dark narrative concept album The Tide, the Thief & River's End, an album that Metal Obsession hailed as 'nearly perfect'.

"Bloom is very special to all of us - it's an album full of colour and life, vibrancy and energy, but one that breathes in and out with a natural ebb and flow," says lead vocalist Jim Grey. "It's exactly what we hoped to achieve with Caligula's Horse. To us, this album has a life of its own."

Equal parts grandiose and crushing, melodic and energetic, enjoy the first taste of Caligula's Horse's third record Bloom right this moment.

 

Check out a trailer for the album here: https://youtu.be/3iwexAFmZuQ

Having secured deals with The Agency Group for live bookings, and signing an international record deal with lauded prog/metal label InsideOut Music (home to Devin Townsend, Spock's Beard and Pain of Salvation), the band will tour Australia with UK metal heroes TesseracT this October, before embarking on an extensive month-long tour of Europe and the UK with Norwegian blackjazz innovators Shining.

Caligula's Horse are known for their energetic live show and fierce stage presence, a quality that has seen them join the likes of Opeth, Mastodon, The Ocean and Protest The Hero on the stage and the road. This kind of intense touring regime will see them right at home.

Nad Sylvan Announces New Solo Album

InsideOutMusic recently announced the signing of Steve Hackett and Agents of Mercy vocalist Nad Sylvan to their roster, and now he is pleased to reveal his new solo album is titled Courting The Widow, and will be released on October 16th, 2015 in Europe and October 30th, 2015 in the US.

Courting the Widow tracklist:
1.Carry Me Home
2.Courting The Widow
3.Echoes Of Ekwabet
4.To Turn The Other Side
5.Ship's Cat
6.The Killing Of The Calm
7.Where The Martyr Carved His Name
8.Long Slow Crash Landing

Courting The Widow musicians:
Vocals, keyboards, guitars - Nad Sylvan
Guitars - Steve Hackett, Roine Stolt, Lars Drugge
Bass - Nick Beggs, Jonas Reingold
Piano - Roger King, Nad Sylvan
Drums - Nick D'Virgilio, Gary O'Toole, Doane Perry
Flute, tenor sax - Rob Townsend
Violin - Annbjorg Lien
Backing vocals - Nad Sylvan, Nick Beggs, Jade Ell
plus secret guest.

Nad had this to say about the album:

"During these past years with Steve Hackett, I have developed a character known as the "Vampirate". I have here set him loose, and so he has invited you all on-board his great ship, to take you on a musical journey you have never been on before.

The main character - the widow herself, is a symbol of death - and is to be courted through every song, one way or another. It is indeed a dark album, but full of loving light"

Nad has most recently been seen performing alongside the legendary Steve Hackett as part of his Genesis Revisited show, continuing his stint into the latter part of this year. Nad adds: "In a little less than four years, I was snatched up by two iconic guitarists, namely Roine Stolt and then Steve Hackett. That must mean something to the world, because it sure means an awful lot to me". Nad formed Agents of Mercy with Roine Stolt (The Flower Kings, Transatlantic) in 2009, and have released three albums to date.

Lineup Changes for Moon Safari and Supernal Endgame

"It's often times great to be in a band, but sometimes, like now, it's hard."

With these words Moon Safari have confirmed they angrily split with co-founding drummer Tobias Lundgren in April.

"To claim the split was amicable would be lying. Everyone wishes this process would have been easier, more grown up and more to the point, but breakups are seldom without complications. And this one was no exception. This is sad for us in many ways. But, regardless of the last couple of months of negativity we sincerely treasure the memories of the musical journey we've taken together.

"Right now the band would just like to thank him for everything and we wish him nothing but the best in his future endeavors, musical or otherwise."

Even though no replacement drummer has been announced, the band assures that no commitments will be cancelled. Their next confirmed gig takes place on the Cruise To The Edge in November.

On the Supernal Endgame front, the split was amicable.

Bassist and videographer Tom More has decided to step away from the band. Guitarist John Crafton has decided to move on as well, regarding this as a sensible time to step away, since Tom’s departure will require a "reboot" of the band dynamic.

John Crafton's departure has created an opportunity for guitarist and founding member Dan Pomeroy to return.

Stepping in on bass guitar is the newest face in the Supernal Endgame family, Brad Oldham.

Brad is a veteran of the Dallas/Fort Worth music scene.  He is currently bassist and vocalist for the Pink Floyd tribute band, Bricks in the Wall.  For nearly ten years, Brad has been one of the principal leaders and organizers of this successful, high-profile act.

Availability for live shows should resume beginning in November of this year, though performance dates can be booked now.  Shows will be announced and posted as they are nailed down.

Moon Safari's latest release is Live in Mexico.

Supernal Endgame's latest is Touch the Sky, Volume II

Ex-Oceansize Frontman Lauches Solo Album

Ex-Oceansize frontman and current Biffy Clyro touring guitarist Mike Vennart released his debut solo album titled The Demon Joke in June, and recently announced a UK headline tour for November. Before that though, he will play Arctangent Festival as well as two warm-up shows. To celebrate, a live video recorded in Manchester earlier this year has been launched.

You can check out Mike and the band (featuring former Oceansize members Steve Durose & Richard 'Gambler' Ingram as well as Ginger Wildheart alumni Denzel) performing the Oceansize track Build Us A Rocket Then here:

The remaining Summer dates are as follows. Support on the first two comes from Mike's other project British Theatre.

Aug 19, 2015 - Firebug, Leicester w/ British Theatre
Aug 20, 2015- Arts Centre, Colchester w/ British Theatre
Aug 21, 2015 - Arctangent Festival, Bristol (British Theatre will appear the next day)

As previously mentioned, Vennart recently announced a further run of headlining shows for this November. You can find the full list of dates below:

Nov 23, 2015 - Nottingham, Bodega Social Club
Nov 24, 2015 - London, Bush Hall
Nov 25, 2015 - Manchester, Deaf Institute
Nov 26, 2015 - Glasgow, King Tut's
Nov 27, 2015 - Wakefield, The Hop

Support on all dates comes from psychedelic rockers Knifeworld & noise-rock guitar/drum duo Cleft.

An animated video for the stunning single Operate, created by ChogZoo animation, was also recently released, and you can watch that here:

The album is now available to purchase from the following places:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/the-demon-joke/id1019349555
http://www.amazon.com/Demon-Joke-Vennart/dp/B011NRXBZO/ref=sr_1_1_twi_mus_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1439487888&sr=8-1&keywords=vennart+demon+joke
 
The Demon Joke will be familiar territory to fans of Mike's old band, but this time with a maturity and optimism lacking in his previous work. The album is a rich, densely layered, emotional psychedelic fuzz-rock odyssey.
