One of the most exciting and boundary pushing acts in the world of heavy music, Washington D.C’s Animals As Leaders will return to Australia for a full national tour this April.
Armed with palette-expanding eight-string guitars, rich synths, and pummelling percussive grooves, the instrumental trio is beloved by metalheads, aspiring virtuosos, jazz fanatics, and casual listeners alike. They jettisoned the rules, limitations, and boundaries of conventional rock music from the start to become one of music’s great storytellers, walking the tightrope between sheer technical virtuosity and real emotional resonance. Even without vocals, Animals As Leaders is intimate, mythmaking music.
