ANIMALS AS LEADERS have completed the recording process for their long-awaited fifth studio album, their first since 2016’s “The Madness Of Many”. Guitarist Tosin Abasi recently shared a brief clip of one of it’s tracks. You can check it out below.
Having originally signed ANIMALS AS LEADERS in 2014, Sumerian founder and CEO Ash Avildsen says: “I have known Tosin and Javier longer than anyone else in the music business. We came up together as kids in D.C. figuring it out with the most DIY, take-no-prisoners approach we could. They have both played big parts in my life and career. I can honestly say my path could have ended up very differently had I not become so close with them when we were rookies.
“I am honored to continue our relationship on an artist/label level and couldn’t be more proud to have ANIMALS AS LEADERS on the Sumerian roster. They are one of the most influential groups of our generation in this world of music. As for Matt G, he is a true G. As for his alter ego Dirty D, I am not at liberty to comment.”
ANIMALS AS LEADERS guitarist Javier Reyes adds: “We are happy to announce that ANIMALS AS LEADERS has re-signed to Sumerian Records. We have known the folks at Sumerian for years on both a personal and professional level and it honestly feels great to continue our journey together. Sumerian has been an integral part in the growth of ANIMALS AS LEADERS, even before we ever signed to Sumerian. We look forward to working together with Sumerian for the next few years to continue growing our brands and legacies.”
ANIMALS AS LEADERS’ Tosin Abasi says: “I’ve seen the birth and ascension of Sumerian Records to one of the most important labels in modern metal and beyond. ANIMALS AS LEADERS is stoked to be continuing our journey with them.”
