We are currently tour ready and looking for any aid with booking and/or management to help push our music out and put us on the road. We're confident that fans of technical shred, music theory, various genres, and certainly metal enthusiasts will enjoy all that what we have to offer. If we were to rope ourselves in with similar bands we would have to mention The Faceless, Beneath the Massacre, and Veil of Maya, with the complexities and variety of Animals as Leaders.
