Speaking freely: Animals As Leaders
PRESS
Virtuosic prog metal
trio Animals As Leaders release their fifth album, Parrhesia, on March 25 via Sumerian Records. It’s the follow-up to 2016’s acclaimed The Madness Of Many. “It’s been our longest gap between albums,” guitarist Javier Reyes tells Prog, “and probably the album we’ve worked on the most. We really gave ourselves time to compose without any sort of time constraint. We wanted to feel naturally inspired. Creativity isn’t a faucet, you can’t just turn it on and off, especially with this type of music. The new material definitely sounds like Animals As Leaders, but we didn’t want to repeat ourselves. Parrhesia is our heaviest ever record.”
