about
On the first album in ‘Hengist Ridge’, Hengist sought advice from his dead brother, Horsa, on the eve of battle (“Dear brother, you’d know what to do’). On this album, ‘Horsa from beyond the Grave’, imagines Horsa replying from beyond the grave. Alas for Hengist it’s not the advice on how to win the battle that he hoped for. A redemptive message and final challenge to create a lasting legacy is presented by his dead brother, one where Hengist would fight a different war…. this time for forgiveness, and peace as a final lasting legacy.
lyrics
Horsa From Beyond The Grave
Yes, dear brother I know what to do, but I'm not the man that you once knew
From here beyond the grave, built bids me you to save
Your redemption that I crave
Why were we so selfish and cruel, over whom we sought to rule?
Big ideas we thought the best
Best for us but not the rest
It's time to heal, time to make amends
It's time to give, make trusted friends
It's time to turn from oppressive power
Time to change, you have this sacred hour
Seize the day, wage a different war
Fight for peace, destroy no more
Not yesterday, not tomorrow
Today's the day to heal the sorrow
Oh from whence such wisdom for fools? I'd lose my right to rule!
To empower the serfs and slaves
Retribution comes in waves
They'd take revenge as once did we
Mobbed and slain, I'd be dead like thee!
No, my legacy will endure
I will crush, not kneel before!
It's time to heal, don't you know it's time to make amends
It's time to give, you need to make trusted friends
It's time to turn, turn away from oppressive power
Time to change, you have this sacred hour
Seize the day, wage a different war
Destroy no more
Not yesterday, not tomorrow
Today's the day to heal the sorrow

They played a wonderful set at Summer’s End in October 2018 which was based around this album . For me it was one of the sets of the weekend. The record is a wonderful permanent reminder of the show. Tony Honour

The new live EP by Ryan W. Stevenson's project reminded me, that this debut album must have been gone down the wishlist... If instrumental Canterbury stuff is your thing, this should be a no-brainer. Firmly rooted in the past (late 60s, 70s), nevertheless with a fresh sound. Guests incude The Tangent's Andy Tillison and Soft Machine's Theo Travis. Carsten Pieper

Though only their third studio album release, these veterans have been around for almost fifteen years--and they keep getting better with each release--which is hard to manage since their quality of compositions, performances, and production have always been top notch. A band that really should be heard! wafiii
Throwing mathcore, emo, and ambient into the mix, Estonia's Kaschalot push progressive rock's multitasking approach to its limits. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 10, 2021

A very pleasant album. Like other comments said, if you like the first Camel album (Moonmadness for exemple), you have to listen at this one. calm, relaxing are the first words that come to me
You can listen from the start to the end: it’s like a journey…. in the space! yodablanc
