Space metal: Animals as Leaders - "Tempting Time"

So, not all Animals as Leaders songs sound like an epic space battle from the future, but I always envision something akin to that when I hear "Tempting Time." What an awesome way to kick off your first album. I couldn't find a video of just the song thanks to copyright law in Germany (though it's probably easy to find in the US), so instead here's a really great drum cover of it by Troy Wright.

A bit about Animals as Leaders (largely taken from Wikipedia): the group was founded by Tosin Abasi, a guitarist for the relatively unknown metal band Reflux, who was approached after a concert by Prosthetic Records about writing a solo album. He initially declined, saying he didn't feel he was skilled enough to do so, and that it was "egotistical and unnecessary." After taking a year off to study music, though, he decided to contact Prosthetic about the album. He recorded most of the guitar and bass for the album, while Misha Mansoor of Periphery added a few guitar solos and programmed the drums and synthesizers.

I've tried doing a drum cover of an Animals as Leaders song. It is insanely hard. I joke that it's because a guitarist wrote the drums instead of a drummer... it's like when you read something written by someone whose first language isn't English. It makes sense, but it still has a slight feel of something... different. A different path taken to get to the same endpoint. But then again, there are some drummers, like Bobby Jarzombek, whose drumming is so complicated I swear he must think in numbers.

Edit 6-8-13: I just found this absolutely amazing piano cover of "Tempting Time." 0:53 - 2:07 is seriously impressive.

Note: If you're looking for actual space metal, try the bands Being or Gru:
