HI8US pays tribute to such influences as Lamb of God, Hatebreed, Meshuggah, old-Metallica, and Megadeth; our biggest drive and inspiration comes from all the other great local metal bands in the area such as Skin Casket, I Decay, Girl Scout Hand Grenade, International Terrorist Coalition, Fernandos Xcursion, Selfless, Foundation of Power, Scopata Di Morte, Forsaken, Lowborn and many more. HI8US is dedicated to helping the local metal scene and community grow in numbers and in strength! To date, HI8US has played over 100 shows and opened for such national acts as Children of Bodom, Amon Amarth, Sanctity, Gojira, Gwar, Overkill, Exodus, Mushroomhead, Dope, Sponge, Otep, etc... HI8US recently signed with Pain and Sorrow records in Novenber of 2007, and has now finished recording its first “real” EP length album, and released it in spring of 2008. Look for shows in and around Flint, Detroit, Port Huron (Michigan) in support of the new EP. Support your local metal or DIE!!
