As Sick As Us- the band that sets Death Metal on its ear!  ASAU is a refreshingly different metal band out of North Carolina forging new paths on the progressive scene.  We will come to your town, fill your venues, and then tear them down brick by brick...

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 all share a comon denominator; they produce a visceral response in people who hear them.

  As Sick as Us is grabbing LOTS of attention on the Eastern seaboard and all over the Southeast. The group is presently recording at Deaf Ear Productions with Billy Seals on their much anticipated CD with a release of October 2009.  The group plays at premier venues such as The Handlebar, Ground Zero, Green Street Club, New Brookland Tavern, Headliners, The Orange Peel, and a host of others.  The band is enthusiastically asked back for repeat performances at every venue it plays.

As Sick As Us attracts a large age span of fans who like a wide spread of genres.  Their songs invoke 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 listeners when they play.   Our music is clear and crisp while the rhythm and beat is tribal and dead-on. The crowds are often blown away by the second song and the applause erupts violently...

As Sick As Us fan base continues to grow and the group regularly tours playing 6 shows a month and is booked out 3 months in advance.  Not bad for a group of young kids that's only been together for a little over 12 months.  ASAU continues to practice hard to refine their art and to bring you the best sounding music possible.  Once you hear them you'll know why As Sick As Us is "The missing link in Death Metal"  Try us out... You'll like it!

We demand a lot from ourselves and our sound quality at live performances proves it.  You decide for yourself, listen to the tracks or come to a show near you and tell us what you think-  We will always listen and make it better for you.  As Sick As Us produces songs that bridge the divide between metal and main stream hard rock and we continue to refine our art in order to bring you the best melt-your-face music possible.

We don't want to be just another loud metal band- We want to be the best and tightest sounding metal band unlike anything you've ever heard before.  As Sick As Us intends on setting a new course for our genre- nothing less will do.  ASAU is confirmed for the 20th Annual Michigan Deathfest in Detroit where metal bands from around the world will be coming together, and is also scheduled to tour with Natron the "Italian Godfathers of Deathmetal" from Bari Italy at selected locations in 2010.  Listen to us and you'll know why As Sick As Us is 'The missing link in Death Metal'

We ask for your support and encouragement so that we might realize our dream of becoming successful performing artists that our families can be proud of... (corny sounding yes, but true...)
