New Animal is a hard rock/alt. metal band from Cortland, NY. Their sound has been loosely compared to Staind, A Perfect Circle, Chevelle and Breaking Benjamin, but it expands upon the genre by including intricate lead guitar work, and ambient guitar synth flavors. The vocals are powerful, and the lyrics deal beyond the cliche angst ridden themes of the genre. The songs convey episodes of the human experience purely and honestly, both positive and negative. All in all the four members of the band demonstrate mastery over their instruments, and along with a tight set of solid original music, this makes for a killer live show.
