+==== Percontation Point (2020-2021) ====
+Shortly after the release of their debut EP, Zsasz' performance schedule slowed to a halt due to the COVID-19 pandemic resulting in some livestreamed and smaller shows throughout the year.

+====== Musical style ======
+Zsasz' music can be described as being heavy, melodic, and generally upbeat.

The group's original material blends Utsu-P's heavy downtuned guitar lines with the member's individual vocals strengths.
