Taken from Wiki: "Animals as Leaders is an American Washington, D.C.–based instrumental progressive metal project by guitarist Tosin Abasi which now includes guitarist Javier Reyes and drummer Navene Koperweis. The self-titled debut album was released in April 2009 by Prosthetic Records." I just randomly ran into this band and my God its amazing. @-@ Tosin plays an 8-string guitar and just from that I knew what to expect. Badassery. The band seems to mix a bit of...jazz into their music which is rather nice seeing as how clean Tosin plays. There really isn't much I can say about the band. Listen to the music yourself and hopefully everyone else will enjoy it as much as I have.
That's actually not too horribly uncommon when you look as some of the heavier prog metal bands like Atheist or Opeth, which is kind of ironic considering that traditional jazz tends to be pretty simple.
I need to look them up. Now about the band, that was pretty freakin' amazing. I'm not the biggest fan of strictly instrumental stuff, so that's a bit of a disappointment. But other than that, the sound over all was pretty sexy. KHV needs more metal.
