Twelve Foot Ninja

Specializing in a propulsive and hard-to-shoehorn mix of searing alternative metal and experimental rock, Aussie band Twelve Foot Ninja fall somewhere between the decibel-pounding onslaught of bands like Periphery and Between the Buried and Me, and the kitchen-sink eclecticism of Mr. Bungle. The band released a flurry of singles and EPs between 2008 and 2011 before issuing their debut long-player Silent Machine in 2012 and rereleased in the US in 2014 which earned the band a string of awards including BEST NEW TALENT at the US Golden Gods Awards. They toured their debut album heavily but eventually returned to the studio to work on album number two. The resulting Outlier dropped in August 2016, and quickly shot to top of the Australian Album Charts and garnered impressive sales around the world particularly in the US. Later that year Outier was nominated Best Hard Rock album at the ARIA Awards (Australian Grammies) . In late 2021, their 3rd album Vengeance shot straight to #1 on the AIR chart. In July 2024, Twelve Foot Ninja released their first-ever acoustic album and announced it would be their last album for the band.
