Animals As Leaders to Celebrate 10th Anniversary of 'The Joy of Motion'

Progressive virtuoso collective Animals As Leaders have announced plans to mark the 10th anniversary of their celebrated third full length studio album, The Joy of Motion. Released in 2014, the album was hailed by fans and critics alike for it's technical prowess, songwriting strength and hefty progressive mastery. 

To officially commemorate the 10th anniversary of the seminal record, the band will head out on a comprehensive fall tour throughout North America starting late October and stretching through the month of November. Set to join Animals As Leaders on the run, Aussie tactician Plini will open each night of the tour. 

Each stop on The Joy of Motion Tour will see Animals As Leaders perform the album in its entirety - giving some of their longest-supporting fans plenty of reason to celebrate. 

The announcement follows the band's recent charge in support of their 2022 Sumerian Records release, Parrhesia - an effort that saw the band resurface some six years after the release of their full length, The Madness of Many.
