Megasus is a sludge metal / stoner metal band formed in Providence, Rhode Island in 2006.
The band was formed by current members of Lightning Bolt and ex members of Amazing Royal Crowns, Laurels and Scared Stiffs. In mid 2006, Ryan Lesser (Laurels), Jason Kendall (Amazing Royal Crowns) and Paul Lyons (Scared Stiffs) invited Dare Matheson from Made In Mexico to play drums for a recording of Red Lottery as a submission for the Playstation 2 game Guitar Hero 2. After recording Red Lottery, Megasus lost Matheson and gained Lightning Bolt bassist Brian Gibson as the new full time drummer.
Megasus quickly became one of the most controversial acts on the Guitar Hero release, polarizing audiences with the game's only inclusion of slow, doomy metal.
The band's new LP, entitled Megasus, was released 2/2009.
