The decision to have Animals as Leaders open for Between the Buried and Me deserves honorable mention itself. Enjoying this pairing requires only that you A) enjoy heavy music and B) can be inspired by precision. With a hint of theatrics, Animals as Leaders greeted the House of Blues Las Vegas stage by means of “An Infinite Regression,” the introductory track from the recent album Weightless. ...

11/11/11 is, quite literally, a once in a lifetime event. The more superstitious of us used the day to take a risk that might not normally be taken.
