For those of you that decided to not spend your sunny Friday afternoon and evening inside the dark cavern known as Studio Seven, getting pushed around by a bunch of sweaty teenagers as a flood of kick ass extreme metal bands loaded in and loaded out one after another, I understand. I on the other hand could not resist.
Without a doubt Animals As Leaders was the band on this year's edition of Summer Slaughter Tour that caught everybody by surprise, and had them talking the rest of the show. (Sorry no video, too busy losing my mind). Everybody I chatted with over the course of the night raved about how badass they were. I knew exactly where they were coming from, because I had my first ear opening run-in with Tosin Abasi's mad axe skills last April when they opened for The Dillinger Escape Plan at El Corazon. I’d strongly recommend everybody check out their self-titled album out through Prosthetic Records, and come see them on November 10th at El Corazon when they’ll be touring with Circa Survive and Dredge.
Check out my videos of the rest of the bands. Enjoy damn it!
