Animals as Leaders is an American instrumental progressive metal band formed by guitarist Tosin Abasi. The group is known for virtuosic 8-string guitar work and complex instrumental compositions.

Formed by Tosin Abasi; early releases include the self-titled album (with Navene Koperweis on drums). Later stable lineup includes Javier Reyes and Matt Garstka. Critical reception highlights technical proficiency, instrumental composition, and use of 8-string guitars.

Three DeBaser reviews consistently praise Animals as Leaders for virtuosic, instrumental progressive metal centered on 8-string guitar work. Weightless is described as hypnotic and cinematic; The Joy of Motion is highlighted as a career high by one reviewer. The early self-titled album is noted for strong ideas and seamless transitions.

For:Fans of instrumental and progressive metal, guitarists interested in technical 8-string playing, listeners who enjoy cinematic and experimental metal instrumentals.

 Oluwatosin Ayoyinka Olumide Abasi (as if it were antani, you see it teases, the sbiriguda?), nicknamed "Tosin" by his friends, is the leader and founder of "Animals as Leaders" and a guitarist (and bassist too) with inhuman talent.
