    That outro riff gets me every time 🔥
    The way it keeps forcing it’s way back into the track, you think it’s over and then HAND’S SHAPE STONE 🪦 but yeah, I do agree that it’s maybe a little too long. But I guess that’s just Prog music - I’ve found myself loving this a lot more after watching your reaction. Completely mood dependant and how ready you are to commit to 15/16 minutes of music. Great video man, appreciate the honesty🙏🏻

      Sup Drew! That outro riff is 🔥 definitely my favorite part of this track. An entire song could be composed around that riff alone it’s so good. That probably would’ve grabbed me immediately if they started off with it in the beginning as well but they saved it for just the outro. They could’ve just looped that riff for 16 mins and we would’ve loved it it was so good. The track is good all around - great production, good melodic melodies, good musicianship, good writing, the bands sound really tight, but overall there’s nothing that really stands out from them to us. They have that familiar prog rock sound but nothing that makes them stand out from the rest. At least to us I guess. We also didn’t have the lyricism to the track which people are mentioning plays a big part of the emotional outlet/meaning during it. This definitely seems like a track you have to hear at the right place, time and mood to really catch onto it. But this is just our take on it they’re a good band just not for us “so far” Anyways thanks for stopping on by man always good to hear from ya. Hope all is well for you over there Ireland. All the best 🍻🤘

    Prog requires patience and investment from the listener. I'm genuinely baffled that people who like Porcupine Tree can't get into this. It's beautiful. 🤷

    You should check out "Marigold" for some more straight forward metal by Caligula's Horse. I'm not some big fan but they got some really good songs and yeah I love the outro of "Graves".

      Yeesss I suggest them periodically too would love to see Devonian : Nascent (another Katatonia feat.), and
      Cambrian II: Eternal Recurrence or Pleistocene’s Music videos are really cool.
      Soo many other good songs. Hope they return to The Ocean too. They seemed to like them a lot.

    Funny watching you guys react to this one and not knowing what to make of it. I was the same the first time. It's one of those tracks that takes many listens to 'get' it but once you do it's quite the masterpiece. They are a weird band for me because this is the only track from them that I actually like but it's quite amazing. Definitely worth another listen and check out the lyrics aswell 🤟

      Definitely agree not sure if D was ready to give Graves and Caligulas Horse a fair shot, body language looked pretty tense.
      took me multiple listens to appreciate this band. Gotta read the lyrics to appreciate the story being told and the depth and substance behind the words.

    If ya'll haven't checked out Steven Wilson's (Porcupine Tree) solo stuff yet it should definitely be on your channel considering He's one of Opeth's singer Mike's favorite artists of all time and they've worked on multiple albums together :)
    his song "Drive Home" is almost Pink Floyd esc in its beautiful guitar solos imo

    EDIT: leaving my original comment below. Re: the vocalist, I hear you. I can't get into Dream Theater for the same reason. For some reason this guy's voice just doesn't bother me. A vocalist can totally ruin a band though....Thank You Scientist? Same deal. Give them a listen some time...I'd be curious to see how you vibe with their singer.
    Definitely give them another chance! Marigold, Firelight, or especially Turntail...Graves is a great song but it takes a lot of listens to get into it. The songs I suggested are a little more digestible.
