Band Review (Animals as Leaders)

Animals as Leaders

Animals as Leaders (From L to R) Tosin Abasi, Javier Reyes, Matt Garstka

 Animals as Leaders are a progressive djent infused metal band from Washington D.C. Together, Animals as Leaders has been making music since 2007. Animals as Leaders are praised for their technical and complex riffs. Their music is truly awe inspiring.

 Animals as Leaders don't feature vocals on their tracks (this adds another level to their music believe me) but guitar are played by Tosin Abasi and Javier Reyes and the drums by Matt Garstka.

 The members of Animals as Leaders are experienced with music and this fact shines through their material's technicality and complexity. Since their formation in '07; Animals as Leaders have produced three studio albums with the most recent released in the March of 2014. Each album was met with exceptional reviews.

 Animals as Leaders have toured quite a bit and can be seen quite easily. Animals as Leaders have a tour planned for the end of the year as support for progressive djent metal band TesseracT (should be going to that so watch this space for a review). For more about their tour dates check here. 

 Its the 21st century so big surprise that these guys are on the net, here's where to find them. Facebook is here, Twitter here.
