It’s already shaping up to be a pretty solid winter for touring. And it’s about to get even better. While it had been teased that Meshuggah, Animals as Leaders and Intronaut would be touring together, it seems like it’s finally official that the band will form as one multi-limbed heavy, progressive lumbering beast. The monthlong tour will begin in February, and from the looks of it, will see the band playing slightly larger venues than their tour earlier this year with Baroness and Decapitated. And we’re pretty sure Animals as Leaders are just looking to have 2012 behind them after the year they’ve had. The dates so far are after the jump:
