As Sick As Us is a melodic death metal band like no other out of North Carolina creating new rhythms on the progressive front. ASAU is the missing link that has bridged the gap between all metal genres by introducing a new dynamic sound to the scene.
Our songs have many styles flowing through them. We twist into our music, like a piece of stranded rope, unique melodies while incorporating influences, both old and new, from different genres. The resulting hybrid sound gives you an eclectic mix that is a refreshing break from the pack.
As Sick As Us was formed in 2008 by the brothers Zack and Zane Oskins. The group started like most bands do- young friends with a lot of energy, drums, guitars, amps and a garage. But what was unique about this particular set of friends was the inherent talent they all brought to the table. It was the 'perfect storm' that has now produced one of the hottest bands in the Southeast.
ASAU songs produce a visceral response in people who hear them. As Sick As Us is now grabbing LOTS of attention across the Eastern U.S. and its much anticipated CD is set for release in October 2009.
ASAU is playing at the 20th Annual Michigan Deathfest in Detroit and will be touring at select locations with Natron from Bari Italy in 2010. The group regularly plays at premier venues such as Ground Zero, Green Street Club, Headliners, Somewhere Else Tavern, New Brookland Tavern, The Handlebar, The Orange Peel and a host of others.
As Sick As Us attracts a large age span of fans who like a wide spread of genres. Our music invokes a host of reactions from crowds; everything from mosh-pits to people nodding their heads in approval with wide eyes and big grins. The reactions are spontaneous and sincere from our listeners when we play. Visit our web sites and check us out. Try us... You'll like it too!
