Ka$cade

Animals As Leaders is a band I found thanks to a Rick Beato video. I don't remember if it was 2021 or 2022, but he interviewed Tosin Abassi, who is the founder of this band.

I listened to some of the music but for whatever reason, never got back to them. Then I then had band referred to me again by an analysis of one of Polyphia's songs, when the guy doing the analysis said something like, "This sounds a bit like Animals As Leaders." And so here we are.

I imagine that the people who don't like Polyphia will also not like this selection. I find both groups fascinating. And they are both Progressive Metal, or Prog, though Animals As Leaders categorize themselves as Djent, a sub-genre of Prog.

This song is "Ka$cade" by Animals As Leaders from their 2014 album The Joy of Motion.
