Cassius formed in the winter of 2003 in Richmond, Virginia. Drawing members from previous local bands, the band began
writing new material and playing regional shows. After many setbacks and line up changes, Cassius decided it was time
to buckle down and get serious. After recording their debut full length "I Am Jim Jones" with Chris Dowhan from
Red Planet Studios (Scarlet / Twelve Tribes / Black Dahlia Murder), Cassius cancelled the lease on their apartment,
bought a van and trailer and began booking whatever tours they could. Hard work and strong friendships brought them
to their current position and with focus and determination, Cassius are hell bent on making themselves a household
name within the metal and hardcore community. Despite not having a record to tour on previously, Cassius has already
completed successful tours with bands like Ed Gein, Misery Signals, Ion Dissonance, Through The Eyes Of The Dead, and
Despised Icon to name a few. Nonstop touring and constructing thought provoking music are Cassius's only ambitions, so
expect to see and hear a lot about them in the days to come! Cassius full length endeavor,
"I Am Jim Jones" has been released on
Lifeforce Records. Be on the look out!
