You have a black lead guitarist with a background in progressive metal and this is basically his project, because a label offered it to him, then you have a mixed rhythm guitarist with classical guitar training and a white drummer obsessed with rhythm with background in funk and some other stuff All of them graduated from music institutes (I think it was the same institute, but I'm not sure)

I like to think of Animals as Leaders songs as three guys playing separate 5-10 minute solos that just happen to line up harmonically. If you do another AAL vid, I would suggest covering 'CAFO' or perhaps 'Temping Time'. Personally, my favorite AAL song is 'Para Mexer' which is very chill in comparison to the rest of their work

Some people call this music "Post-Metal" or "Jazz-Metal". Nah, the only term that works for bands that do a fusion of Djent (sub-genre of Metal) and Jazz is "Djazz". Be sure to checkout similar bands like CHON, Polyphia, Covet, Intervals and Plini. All of them are instrumental acts. Also, checkout Unprocessed if you want voices with your Djazz. Lastly, you need to try Dance Gavin Dance. Smooth as silk Metal with dual vocals. I recommend their song "Betrayed by the Game". Sounds great and the video is weird.
