Caligula’s Horse - "Golem" Guitar & Bass Playthrough w/ Sam Vallen & Dale Prinsse

Sam Vallen and Dale Prinsee of Caligula's Horse lay down a full playthrough of 'Golem' off their new album Charcoal Grace - OUT NOW!
ffm.bio/caligulashorse
Here's what Sam Vallen has to say about the track...
"Golem is a surprisingly tricky one to land - snaky 16ths and tight, syncopated rhythms abound. Dale and my [Sam Vallen] parts often work in counterpoint, and it’s a great test of our rhythmic connectedness and sense of pocket. It’s been an awesome song to take to the stage!"

Fantastic mustache on the bass playing gentleman

[@redmondbarry449]

After reading this comment at the start of the video, I no longer hear the music... I only hear mustache.

[@RaptorPrinter]

A basstache if you will

[@mraica]

It’s pronounced “Djentleman”

[@joacocobhc2300]

-how sofisticated are your riffs? -yes

[@bananamiriam]

Always blown away…. 🌟 C.Horse: Inspiring musicians, writers, composers for the generations to come 💥

[@I3ULL3T96]

Album is absolutely amazing, probably the best you've put out.

[@d.o.9808]

my fav is in contact, this is top 3 no doubt

[@squirrelybeatz5843]

Bass tone is immaculate

[@maxgilstrap8492]

i remember Sam saying in the tempest breakdown that the main riff is very awkward to play on guitar and this main riff and verse feels very much the same vibe. sounds great obviously!! just very stabby and rhythmically complex

[@ep6808]

Please do more of these, I could watch them all day

[@jacobpalmer4438]

sighs and picks up 7 string amazing work guys ❤

[@dillonbuckley5063]

dont do it! 6 stings can be heavy

[@Mark_N]

Best album I heard in years!

[@japauetot]

It's so nice to see great guys playing and having fun with different sounds. The rhythm changes are great and gives me a chill when listening to you guys. Keep up the good work! Bands like yours are rare nowadays.

[@saeedkhabaz4761]

You guys make some of the best prog stuff I have heard.

[@ubdejones1]

i just don't understand how you guys don't have more listeners. Been loving you since day 1

[@ShabCrab]

Awesome to get another string playthrough vid. But I gotta ask, when's Josh getting HIS playthrough video? 👀

[@Tubbbytommy]

This is the correct question

[@JesseEVH]

One of the best licks this decade 🔥🔥🔥

[@hetschhog]

I would love to hear this with a more bassy bass tone. Got a little tired of the standard Dingwall/Darkglass bass tone.

[@flynnedwards]

Fantastic work, guys!!

[@Zion-18]

Ridiculously good playthrough of a killer song on one of the best pro albums I've ever heard!

[@adamfowler350]

These guys are absolute masters at their craft.

[@ArvizuDesignFab]

Awesome!!!

[@josecuencags]

Love this track 🔥

[@mikeherbert2500]

Good lord, that had the WOW factor!👏👏👏

[@alisiademi]

Soooo cool!!!! I love the smiles and the pick throw!

[@vinniesaleluce6611]

It’s so good to see Sam and Dale playing joyfully “Golen”, such a great composition, solid structured and well produced tune from “Charcoal Grace”. Excellent job, guys. Cheers from Brazil 🇧🇷

[@andersthorstensson4347]

Bloody brilliant album lads! 🙌🔥

[@oldboy1971]

Excellent performance ! Heavy hugs from France 🇫🇷 ❤️ 🤘

[@jorgegoncalvesroque8087]

well done guys, great perfomance amazing riffs and scales,.you are the best..

[@MariaKosmabass]

So cool to notice every little detail, insane talent! Thanks for making this video. If you'd like to do the same for every song in the album, please, go ahead 😁

[@davidsorge7008]

Love how they JUST listen and are not looking at each other at all ....

[@jnamet]

Album is a corker, great work all round guys. Love the cheeky pick toss at the end...do you think you've got Aristides attention Sam? ;)

[@Eincrou]

Thanks for posting this playthrough, with actual audio from the performances we see on video. The first six seconds of "Golem" made my brain think I was listening to "One Hand Killing." 😉

[@freezepop_42]

So sick!

[@mystshark7646]

This is so fire

[@kutaybr]

genius work here!

[@alihijazi4451]

Amazing bass work!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@evolagenda]

Fantastic playing

[@joaopaulo9227]

Just amazing 🔥👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@casitagigi]

Maestros!!!!!💙💙💙💙

[@archymcfyre]

Sam has become one of my favourite guitarists since I discovered Caligula's Horse

[@mattsmith-drums]

I NEEEEED to learn these riffs!!! Tabs availiable soon?

[@wade7488]

sparkly glitter guitars are back, and there was much rejoicing

[@bmac4]

Aristedes 070s are absolutely sick

[@jackclj]

Great! Now I need to find some time to transcribe this into tabs and rock it!

[@acordito]

AMAZING!!!! Where is the guitar preset for he Quad Cortex? I just see the Bass preset. );

[@crow468]

Modern metal is satisfying funk.

[@Tardy-]

Love this boys, so awesome to see. Is there any chance we could get tabs please 🥺

[@BharatRajagopalan]

Album of the year

[@non_brewed_condiment]

This is sick. Also I appreciate that it's not "playthrough" that's 85% quantization

[@tiagobelletti5634]

amazing!

[@Milo.Gutierrez]

LOVE IT ❤

[@AljosaPismonosa]

Awsome!!

[@ΣταμΔετσης]

always perfect :)

[@jcborges96]

Perfect, now I can see how I wrong I was playing this one lol

[@fredbergeron2193]

Yooo those riffffff

[@MusicChannel-rf5zz]

When is it going to be released as a plugin?

[@jthomashair]

Y'all are so fucking cool

[@isaacsantos9186]

Need one for sails 😳

[@babhuskaxyz]

QUERO MAIS

[@RAP1979]

What are your guitars tuned to?

[@mynameswouldntwork]

Oh hello!

[@kaypbass0]

What tuning?

[@kris_kwas]

Drop A if im not mistaken.

[@MarwanFouadJP7]

AEADGBE

[@RaptorPrinter]

It reminds me of an NES style song like from the Batman game in terms of riffage.

[@Datasint]

Loving Dale's fat ass tone

[@ratsack5842]

Hopefully someone saying that doesn’t get clipped out of context

[@morrisheilman9132]

Why the riff gotta change endings each time man? My brain hurts lol

[@luisfernandogonzalezcarden9992]

It's insane!

[@sethums]

Damn, I need to get a 7 string after watching this.

[@NTesla00]

Let's go Aristedes 🇳🇱🇳🇱

[@metroknowm]

🌭 🐴

[@zeljkof8002]

Every mf with a aristides got bouncy ass riffs straight up

[@ChadTolkien]

Sigh... I need an Aristides now

[@lukethemuse9921]

Better than the new Tesseract album?!?

[@Tubbbytommy]

Mute... pls, or gjve Josh a Mute playthrough ❤

[@JohnnieFruits]

The super shallow depth of field was quite distracting

[@lucmichel7588]

👍👌💪

[@Codaslapaol]

Why the pick ?? On bass missing lot sound variances with the pick

[@GrandoFromage]

Nice playing, shame about the plants 🪴

[@Yngwie2024]

It’s ok but you can see the much lower quality of new musicians vs decades ago…it should be the opposite right? 😅
