Australian progressive metal force Caligula’s Horse mark ten years of their breakthrough album ‘Bloom’ with a newly expanded anniversary edition. First released in 2015, the record became a defining statement for the Brisbane band, pairing emotional depth with vibrant, technical precision. The 10th anniversary digital reissue now adds four bonus tracks from the original sessions.
The band reflects on the milestone: “10 years ago, we released Bloom into the world – an incredibly special album that would become a statement as to who we are as a band and as people.” They add, “We hope that in times of struggle, Bloom will continue to be there for you. Remember: You have what you need in you. Just let it grow.”
The expanded edition offers deeper insight into the creative process, including pre-production demos and a 2015 recording of “Across the Universe.” The physical reissue features new artwork by Chris Mangos, refreshing the album’s visual identity while honoring its legacy. The result underscores why ‘Bloom’ remains central to the modern progressive metal conversation.
