4 stars Would you like to hear a good fusion-metal? Music industry is now gone far.Many bands are trying to come out on the scene by playing metal music in various sub-genre. The term "fusion" a term known as a merger of several elements into one, the same refers to the music and everything around it. I found by chance on the band called "Animals as Leaders." Thrilled by the music that this band is playing and they were able to go far to music ideas.Years ago when we were kids, we who love a little harder sound we were listening to "Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Black Sabbath". And it was known to be the pinnacle of metal. Today the picture is completely different, and times are changing. In order to understand band such as "Animals as Leaders" must have a specific musical knowledge and it is recommended that you have knowledge to the music. This band plays virtuoso metal-fusion-jazz with influence of synth sounds and layers. Since this is the instrumental band, the main spark lead guitarist Tosin Abasi's gang. Man playing eight-string and seven-string guitar. It's amazing what all performed on this instrument. In a moment reminiscent of the hardest metal band, and the next moment the famous Steve Vai, and Yngwie Mallmsteen little influence, also John Petrucci's. There are influences of jazz guitarist Pat Matheny's. The album can be heard a little sound of Death-fusion band "Cynic", but it's well packed and you have the impression that the band is quite original. The album has 12 songs and each is very different than the last. In addition Tosin Abasi's in this band playing more and Javier Reyes, Chebon Littlefield and Naven Koperweis. I recommend this band to the Jazz Fusion and Progressive Metal connoisseurs. 8th grade
