Animals_As_LeadersTosin Abasi’s virtuoso metal/jazz/progressive project Animals As Leaders are touring again, this time with heavy metal/djent giants Meshuggah and Intronaut. If you haven’t been exposed to Animals As Leaders, maybe now is the time. They aren’t strictly for metal lovers, and therein lies their appeal. Listeners of everyone from Miles Davis to King Crimson will respect what they’re doing as they push the boundaries of their chosen genres. They made virtuoso playing interesting on a composition level, and that’s tough to do. Check out “Cafo” as well as their remaining North American tour dates below. Sadly, no Vancouver dates!
