 ====== Musical style ======
-====== Discography ======
+Zsasz' music can be described as being heavy, melodic, and generally upbeat. Compared to Utsu-P's regular sound, it leans heavier on his J-pop sound that he occasionally experimented with in the past. The group's original material blends Utsu-P's heavy downtuned guitar lines with the member's individual vocals strengths.
