The Sound Of Animals Fighting

The Sound of Animals Fighting is an experimental rock supergroup that formed in the mid-2000s, known for blending post-hardcore, progressive rock, and ambient elements into a genre-defying sound. The band is made up of various members from other established acts, including RX Bandits, Circa Survive, and Chiodos, among others, with each member using an animal pseudonym. Their debut release, Tiger and the Duke, showcased an ambitious mix of storytelling and musical avant-garde, a theme they continued to push with subsequent records like Lover, The Lord Has Left Us... and The Ocean and the Sun.

The group's lineup and live appearances have been sporadic, contributing to their cult status within the alternative and experimental scenes. They're known not just for their intricate compositions, but also for their mystique and theatrical live shows, which often feature masks and visual elements to enhance the immersive experience. Despite periods of inactivity, The Sound of Animals Fighting continues to release new material and perform live, delighting fans with their unpredictability and innovation.
