Comment Animals as Leaders - Animals as Leaders [2009] [Album] Original Release / Prosthetic Records / 6561910043-2 / CD With the Washington, D.C.-based Reflux, 7-string guitarist Tosin Abasi caught the attention of discerning fans with fierce riffs and fleet-fingered solos that sharpened the edge of the band's politically-minded progressive metalcore. The band's moment in the spotlight was brief, but in that time, the group built a dedicated cult following via extensive touring with the likes of Strapping Young Lad, Darkest Hour, August Burns Red, Animosity, From A Second Story Window and many more. Soon after Reflux disbanded, Abasi began work on an instrumental solo project as a way to further express his musical personality. The resulting self-titled debut from Abasi's new band ANIMALS AS LEADERS, a 12-track collection of guitar-driven progressive instrumentals with ambient and electronic influences, is a scintillating showcase for one of the finest young guitarists in rock today. "I definitely wanted to make an album that was 'guitar-centric,' but also interesting from other perspectives," Abasi explains. He succeeded, as his dazzling performances on both 7- and 8-string guitars are flashy and technical, yet also tasteful and melodic. And even though they contain no words, the album's songs speak volumes -- something that's evident from the opening notes of album kickoff "Tempting Time." "'Tempting Time' loosely deals with some of the time-based societal pressures that come with getting older," Abasi says. "It's about reconciling your place in your life with where society feels like you should be, and understanding the finite amount of time you have in life to do anything."
