Our Survival Depends on Us is a post-metal / doom / sludge[1] band from Salzburg, Austria.

The band was founded in 1999[2] by Mucho Kolb and Mani Eibner and released the first demo recording Breathe in 2000. After this release Thom Kinberger and Hajot Gmeilbauer (also: Thelema, Sturmpercht) joined OSDOU who had both already played with Kolb in Soulsearch. The band had multiple short time bassists until Barth Resch (formerly: Belphegor) took over permanently before recording their second album. In 2014 founding member Eibner left OSDOU and the band recruited Thomas Apfelthaler as the new drummer.[3] OSDOU are currently part of the Ván Records' roster.[4]
