Animals As Leaders, formed in Washington D.C in the year 2007, consists of three members, two eight string guitarists and a drummer. They are described as things from Progressive Metal (like Smokey said) to Jazz Fusion. As of this comment, the band is still together and making music. Releasing their first album, their self titled release in 2009, which holds this song. The meaning of CAFO is exactly what Smokey said at the end of the video, Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation. Just like CAFO, the rest of Animals As Leaders' songs consist of zero lyrics. I personally recommend their song Tooth and Claw, just as intense and interestingly complex as CAFO is

[@omegaman420]

Every member of Animals as Leaders Tosin Abasi guitar, Javier Reyes guitar, and Matt Garstka drums are extremely talented and one of the best in the world on the instruments they play.

[@SuicidebyYourMom]

Tosin is actually Joe Satriani's current favorite guitarist. That's saying a lot!

[@summeronio9751]

The drummer in the video is Navene Koperweis

[@paule1624]

@@summeronio9751ums were programmed on this album (by Misha Mansoor) if you want to get technical. Navene was their live drummer during the time. But yea, Matt didn’t have anything to do with this track

[@osalbaro]

Saw them live last month and they are honestly the best musicians I've ever seen live.

[@owenmartinez1485]

FINALLY ANIMALS AS LEADERS!!!!

[@sandorhartig3957]

This Is one of my favorite songs EVER!!!❤

[@carolowler]

My son loves these guys and I took him to Glasgow for his 18th, to see them support Between the Buried and Me. The absolute blast he had was one of my moments of great joy.

[@dontreadonme5331]

Hahaha I took my son and nephew to see them with After the Burial and Veil of Maya. We are both fans of AAL and ATB

[@BlackSun6393]

I cannot possibly fathom how any human being with human flaws can even come to close to playing this fast and flawlessly.

[@Easy_Skanking]

Thousands of hours of practice...It is a full on dedication to the art and instrument.

[@jhamilton1007]

This is Progressive Metal on crack. You guys just opened a whole new can of worms with these guys.

[@hkdxforsaken]

CAFO is Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation. CAFOs are agricultural meat, dairy, or egg facilities where animals are kept and raised in confinement.

[@GenXDaddyO]

Glad you finally got around to AAL. Yes, they are instrumental only and feature complex rhythms and meters. Try The Brain Dance, Woven Web, Arithmophobia, Tooth and Claw, and their newer stuff is great too.

[@LemmyGibbler]

Caged Animal Feeding Operation- CAFO

[@JohnWayne-vf5bs]

Thank you so much

[@johnladd8421]

just don’t watch any videos on a cafo doc. not good

[@JohnWayne-vf5bs]

@@johnladd8421 what's that

[@johnladd8421]

just google “ CAFO explained “. you’ll get all kinds of stuff.

[@tonyr9389]

If you ever do them again, do a live video. Appreciate how bad ass these guys are.

[@EPIzen24]

It is difficult to believe that humans can actually play this music until you've seen it for yourself. Matt Garstka's drum playtrhoughs are especially mindblowing.

[@danielmartinez0422]

whoever gabriella is shes the goat for requesting this

[@kenny653]

This song is AMAZING!!! It's like they're going from one set peace to the next. This is just too good. Damn!

[@jhamilton1007]

This was more like Meshuggah on steroids. Not TOOL. Very Djenty rhythmically.

[@MrGmonkeywillruleyou]

Not Tool cause Tool has amazing lyrics

[@owenmartinez1485]

Matt Garstka is up there with Danney Carey boys. Just wait and see. Can’t wait for the next Animals as Leaders video!

[@SwedeSpeeder]

Gartska is above Carey. Don't get me wrong, Carey is great but Gartska is on another level. That's not even him playing on this song, BTW.

[@yeti4269]

I love how he's 2 minutes into the song before he even thinks about lyrics 😂

[@michaelkogut7661]

Tosin Abasi is a great guitar player

[@JohnWayne-vf5bs]

This is awesome cafo is so legendary keep up with the great work

[@The_Kiosk]

This band is, by the way, all instrumental.

[@BluddyNails]

Shoutout to the Trash Talkers for proving these hits 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@brianbumstead2682]

I remember seeing them live in London Ontario

[@andrewh.8118]

Can’t stress this enough check out BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME “the future is behind us”!! You’ll definitely dig it

[@APieceOfLiquid]

One of the best metal bands ever. Meshuggah influenced so many bands and these are one of the best bands to come in and develop the Djent sound. Do Wave Of Babies next by AAL.

[@raptros_]

Saw em live in like 2011, opening for BTBAM. Really contemplative set, crowd kinda was kinda just chill, vibing through most of the set, but then they finished off the set with this piece and the crowd went wild. Mosh pit started about halfway in, and i was up at the front, so i turned to look behind me and got popped in the nose. Good times. A kinda off-the-wall rec: Carpenter Brut “Turbo Killer”.

[@gabriellacsarsen7814]

Thanks for this guys! But why didn't you use the video I linked to? You could also see the band playing. Now you should do a live performance, you have to see theier instruments and how they play.

[@sinisterking6009]

Carcass - Heartwork

[@TruzFest]

This just might be my favorit video by you guys!!! Insane song

[@pantheon777]

"Cruel Summer. . ." The Karate Kid. Come on man

[@lasagnasux4934]

You ever do any more AAL, you need a video where you can see the hands. Tosin doing Woven Web live at NAMM is one of the best, or any of Matt Garska's live drum playthroughs.

[@KenBober]

You guys are now considered OG reactors. I watched something along time ago about how there are gravitational wormholes between parallel universes that pull people seamlessly between universes. The universes are so similar you will never notice. But occasionally the wormholes will cross paths to a universe and the person in a world that is completely different. One of the stories was a woman who broke up with someone years prior but woke up next to him and freaked out. She also said the us dollar wasn't green it was blue. There was much more to the story that I don't want to spend the time typing out.

[@The_Kiosk]

Love this band. While the self titled album definitely has some classics among the discography, the sound and composition have greatly improved with time. That said, the two hand tapped part of this song is the only AAL riff I have attempted to learn. I'd recommend The Brain Dance from 2016's The Madness of Many, or Physical Education from the previous record The Joy of Motion. The Weightless album is a personal favorite but it doesn't have any real standout "single" tracks. It just tickles my sci-fi nerd because of the concept. 🤷😎

[@The_Kiosk]

If I was to recommend a song from Weightless, it would have to be Cylindrical Sea.

[@tonyr9389]

Hell yeaaaaahhhh!!!!!!!

[@ajayjackson7089]

TIL: CAFO stands for Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation. Basically, an industrial farm that crowds large numbers of animals into small spaces.

[@juantromba]

like concentrated animal feeding operationssss(?, HAHAHAHAH almost died on that moment

[@gozombiesgo]

Dayum! You guys are killing it showing this. Sooopa rad tune! I love that band. You want something else like this? This style is called Djent metal (pronounced 'Gent' as in gentlemen). Check out a band called Tesseract. Cheers fellas!

[@eduardopinto989]

AAL is amazing guys! Woven Web next! 🖖🏽

[@RedPillMode]

I need to listen AAL songs a few times before they really sink. Great stuff!

[@omegaman420]

I ma a huge Anals As Leaders fan I have been listening to them since their first album came out in 2009. I saw them live with Periphery in 1017 in Vancouver Bc they put on an amazin show. I have been wondering since 2009 what a CAFO actually is LOL. I am so excited and can't wait I am going to see Dream Theater, Devin Townsend, and Animals As Leaders live in Vancouver Bc July 21st.

[@duncansolloway2497]

i ll be there as well-not the COMMODORE but will still be awesome

[@kurtnagel3373]

Hahaha you said anals as leaders. Your autocorrect knows something

[@insiddious]

I'm a huge "Anals" As Leaders fan too!

[@chrisbryz1652]

Should check out some Rings of saturn

[@j.d.4697]

Love how they are going with the rhythm. Only way to listen to this music, even though it's like getting lost in Alice's Wonderland.

[@christopherblowers443]

This song goes so hard for no reason

[@ethun6563]

one of my favorite songs just in general

[@omegaman420]

Animals As Leaders is an instrumental prog metal band they use 8 string guitars.

[@BluddyNails]

Damm I never heard this but this is dope!!

[@74orpheus]

They're a three piece progressive metal group of extraordinary talent. Two guitarists and a drummer. No bass player. One of the best songs aside from Cafo is "Tooth And Claw". You must check that out!!!!!!

[@reneedevry4361]

My first time listening to this band, I thought my head was going to explode.🙄😂🤣😂 They are now my favorite band. 🫣💥Red Miso 💥💥 Tosin Abasi is demi-God material. Matt is a close second. 🥰🥰❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥😱🇨🇦

[@Djcimofficial]

Seeing them in June with Dream Theater. Be my 3rd time seeing them. Always put on a great show!

I'm jealous!

[@NeCoruption]

9:58 yes!!

[@ThexCatmanx]

More please. ASAP

[@dontreadonme5331]

No lyrics, only vibing, intricate, high level of skill instrumentals. I saw them live with After the Burial which I'd recommend a reactiin to as well. Try their song Exit Exist 😊

[@jayray6488]

And that's one of their more accessible tracks. welp.

[@OmegaProxy]

Check out their new video for Red Miso or Matt Gartska’s drum play through.

This really does sound like if Guitar Hero or rather Clone Hero was a song xD

Haven't really followed this band. I'm down to give them a try

[@gridLAZER]

lovin' the Joplin shirt, my dude!

I been telling Smokey and Hollywood about these guys for awhile. Definitely watch brain dance or physical education. Yup no lyrics all at intrusmental.

[@dutchmastah07]

Try the band The Sound of Animals Fighting to continue the animal theme lol

[@mikethemotormouth]

Hot Snakes, Wolf Eyes or Echo and the Bunnymen would be good too

This band don’t do vocals in their songs they are instrumental

[@shanemason4031]

Sounds like CAFO stands for Can't Always Figure Out, sorry but it just sounds like random noise to me. Glad it's a paetreon request and you got compensated for the reaction., Hopefully they got better songs than this.

[@scrinbot]

I´m a guitarist and i can understand why you feel it´s just random noise. But i can guarantee you, this is hard af to play. it´s more art than real music. Like Meshuggah & Co . It´s like listening to Car engines without liking cars at all ^^ I can hear every single note in it. it´s very relaxing for me.^^

[@CruxalYT]

LOL would not expect someone with a TOOL pfp to have a take like this, perhaps if it was a lil slower and stuck to D minor you'd dig it!

[@shanemason4031]

@@scrinbot I agree with you on the technical aspects of playing the music, my issue is, I would say is in the arraignment of the music, it just felt like it was pieces of different music put together randomly and chaotic sounding and never substain a rhythm or melody of a song composition. The musicians I believe are talented in their playing, I just think they could have composed and arranged it better with some kinda melody structure for the song.

[@scrinbot]

@@shanemason4031 I agree. I feel the same. Kinda like more Tool and APC. But only as a Guitar Nerd, i like to listen to that kind of prograssive djent animals als leaders sound^^ And it´s an 8 String guitar too.^^

@@shanemason4031 How on earth you managed to have Tool pfp and still be that ignorant is beyond me

[@SuicidebyYourMom]

I'd recommend the songs Tooth and Claw, Physical Education and Crescent. They're each from the album, Joy of Motion.

[@SuicidebyYourMom]

Not sure if anyone has answered this but the band name comes from the novel Ishmael, in which the titular character refers to humans as "animals as leaders".
