Animal As Leaders have released a video for their track Cognitive Contortions.
It features on the US outfit’s fourth album The Madness Of Many, which launched in November last year.
Speaking with Prog in November, bassist Tosin Abasi gave his thoughts on what the band have achieved so far in their career.
He said: “We always wanted the band to get bigger – but I never thought it would get as far as it’s already gone.
“I’ve always resonated with challenging, aggressive music, and there seems to be a renaissance of bands doing the most they can musically.
“Metal’s always been multi-dimensional, and whatever you want to call what we’re doing, we’re connecting with the people who authentically care about this music.
“That’s more important to me than having a larger audience who don’t feel as strongly.”
Animals As Leaders have also announced details of a US tour with guests Veil Of Maya and Alluvial. The dates get underway in Salt Lake City on May 2 and wrap up in San Diego on June 3.
