Animals As Leaders will descend on The House of Blues in New Orleans this week! Grab your tickets here.
Get ready for a mind-bending evening of progressive metal when Animals as Leaders takes the stage at the iconic House of Blues in New Orleans. Hailing from Washington, D.C., Animals as Leaders has carved out a unique niche in the metal world, incorporating elements of progressive rock, jazz fusion, funk, and electronica into their sound. Known as one of the prominent bands within the djent scene, they have established themselves as true pioneers of the genre.
The band’s formation is traced back to the disbandment of guitarist Tosin Abasi’s previous metalcore group, Reflux. Recognizing Abasi’s extraordinary guitar work, the renowned heavy metal record label Prosthetic Records approached him to create a solo album. Initially hesitant, Abasi took a year to further his music education before diving into the project.
In 2009, Animals as Leaders released their eponymous debut album, showcasing Abasi’s exceptional guitar and bass skills. The record featured contributions from engineer Misha Mansoor of the pioneering djent metal band Periphery, who added guitar solos, drums, and synthesized effects. Since then, the band has unleashed their creative prowess through albums like Weightless (2011), The Joy of Motion (2014), The Madness of Many (2016), and their most recent release, Parrhesia (2022).
