Episode 22: Animals As Leaders ”Self-Titled”

Episode 22 is now HEAR for you... what an awful pun. But it's a great episode though! This week we take a look at Animals As Leaders and their 2009 self-titled debut album!

Animals as leaders is a progressive metal band out of Washington, DC. The band was originally created in 2007 but lead guitarist Tosin Abasi. Second guitarist Javier Reyes and drummer Matt Halpem (replaced by Navene Koperweis in 2009, and Koperweis was replaced by Matt Garstka in 2012) joined the band soon after the release of the self-titled album for touring support, only to become full-time members for every release since. The self-titled album was released in April 2009 under Prosthetic Records. For music, merch and more, visit www.animalsasleaders.org
