BIO
Kastasyde was formed in Chicago in 2001. The band began writing music and performing intense live sets throughout clubs and bars, creating a buzz in the Chicago underground.

In 2006, the band released its debut full length album, "Hundred Hollow Words." The album showed a band capable of diverse and honest music, and Kastasyde began touring all regions of the U.S. Their hometown appeal grew rapidly, and the band was soon providing local support for bands such as God Forbid, Death Angel, and Mobile Deathcamp.

In 2010, Kastasyde released their 6 song EP, "Poisoned, Ripped Off, and Lied To", creating their strongest material to date. The music combined the influences of extreme metal, thrash, blues, and country with a strong message promoting free thought and the EP has received nothing but positive feedback from fans and underground media.

Kastasyde capped off a successful 2010 by appearing at the annual “Holiday of Horror” show in Chicago (featuring metal icons Macabre.) The band also began work on their next release by recording three songs with producer/engineer Sanford Parker (Nachtmystium, Minsk, Yakuza.) Kastasyde is planning for a busy 2011, with new music and constant touring.
