Currently winding up their European dates before trekking through North America, Animals As Leaders are set to deliver their fourth album, The Madness of Many<\/em>, on November 11.<\/p>\n

After playing for a few years in the “straight” music world as a member of the uniquely virtuosic Washington, D.C.-based metalcore band Reflux, seven and eight-string guitar wizard Tosin\u00a0Abasi was asked to record a solo album by the group’s then record label, Prosthetic Records, once the group disbanded.\u00a0That solo project forged Animal As Leaders.<\/p>\n

The self-titled debut album dropped in April 2009 and saw Abasi handling all guitar and bass tracks, while drums and other synthesized sound effects were programmed by engineer, Misha\u00a0Mansoor.<\/p>\n

Abasi and company followed up in 2011, when Animals as Leaders released their sophomore effort,\u00a0Weightless<\/em>. The following year, the band signed on with Sumerian Records, and released their third album, The Joy of Motion<\/em>, in 2014.<\/p>\n

Australian Plini<\/strong> is a 23-year-old guitarist and composer from Sydney. Bringing his material to life all over the world, Plini\u00a0<\/strong>has sold out headline shows at home, festival appearances in the UK and toured Japan. His latest EP Handmade Cities<\/em>, has already received critical acclaim.<\/p>\n

Nick Johnston<\/strong>, hailed as a “modern guitar virtuoso” Canadian guitarist, is known for his catchy, melody-driven instrumental music, carving out a career with his own unique style. His eclectic inspiration is evident in his sound, ranging from blues to prog, to jazz, to gypsy, spanning anything and everything in between.<\/p>\n
