Our major exposure to Caligula’s Horse was in the build up to ProgPower USA XX in 2019. When announced during the 2018 edition – of which is customarily done so at the festival via a cool video presentation – they immediately piqued the ear, and to that point, we had only really listened to them in passing. Well, a deep dive into their discography later, and we were sold. Seeing them live in 2019 was cathartic, and there they announced Rise Radia…

…there’s no denying the mysterious aural void. 8. RanΔ – Richtfeuer (Breath:Sun:Bone:Blood) Germany’s RanΔ have merged all of their influences, from walls of crust-infused post-metal to fiery blackened angst. By putting that myriad of styles together, they’ve formed a sound so potent that one simply needs to sit back and acknowledge mastery when it’s heard. Emotionally tinged, violent, and meticulously constructed, the band’s first full-length Ric…

We wanna go out with the best work possible as soon as possible, too, as the matter of sound and everything else. Simonelli: The full-length on its way, we want to make sure that every single detail is perfect and not to leave anything unattended. We are listeners before musicians; that’s why we…
