Animals as Leaders is an American Washington, D.C.based instrumental progressive metal project by guitarist Tosin Abasi. Current live collaborators include guitarist Javier Reyes, drummer Navene Koperweis and bassist Chebon Littlefield. The self-titled debut alb*m was released in April 2009 by Prosthetic Records.
Animals as Leaders was formed out of the ashes of guitarist Tosin Abasi's previous band, Reflux. The heavy metal record label Prosthetic Records saw Abasi's guitar work and asked him to create a solo alb*m for them. Abasi initially declined, feeling such an endeavor would be egotistical and unnecessary. When Reflux disbanded, Abasi decided to take the label's offer. The name Animals as Leaders was inspired by Daniel Quinn's 1992 novel Ishmael, which addresses anthropocentrism. Abasi coined the name as a reminder that we're all essentially animals.
The project's first album, Animals as Leaders, was recorded in early 2008. Abasi recorded all guitar and bass tracks on the album; drums and various synthesized effects were programmed by engineer Misha Mansoor (Periphery, Haunted S s). The alb*m was released April 28, 2009 by Prosthetic Records. *
