ANIMALS AS LEADERS' self-titled debut was released in 2009 to waves of critical acclaim. MetalSucks called it "intricate instru-metal of the highest caliber," and the album also received a 10/10 from PerfectProg.com and a 9.7/10 from Ultimate-Guitar.com. The group has toured steadily for the last 18 months alongside such acts as The Dillinger Escape Plan, BTBAM, Circa Survive, Underoath, The Faceless and Veil of Maya, in addition to performing on last year's Summer Slaughter tour.
Legendary guitarist Steve Vai recently commented on guitarist Tosin Abasi and ANIMALS AS LEADERS: "When I first heard Animals As Leaders, I felt as though at last, I was hearing the future of creative, heavy virtuoso guitar playing. It's quite amazing." Check out the video for "CAFO" now.
