So....saw Animals as Leaders last night. Damned good set. Cool backlighting too. New material sounded very good live, should be a big win for their fans for sure when released shortly...
Openers were seriously varied...first band was Chon, kind of a more jazz/rock thing. Next one was a 1-man thing on V-Drums doing breakbeats and whatnot. Impressive for simply being very, very different...not something I'd probably listen to at any other time though.
Main opener was After the Burial...death metal djent. Damned heavy and damned well played. Would have scared away many of the peeps here, if I'm being honest
I was amused because the venue had several "no mosh, stage dives" signs about but the band kept winding the crowd up, telling them to go nuts and all that. Goooood times.
