In 25 words or less: “Expect Twelve Foot Ninja\u2019s\u00a0Silent Machine\u00a0to be one of the most talked about albums over the coming months in Australian music.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Melbourne\u2019s Twelve Foot Ninja are not a band to do things by halves.\u00a0 In the lead up to the release of this, their debut album Silent Machine,<\/em> the band have embarked on a campaign they refer Project 12 \u2013 where 1 digital track, along with a digital comic has been released, each week, up until their album release date of November 2nd, that being TODAY.\u00a0 Combine that with the fact we are talking of a band that has literally no boundaries when it comes to genre, and important to note that\u2019s within just the one song! \u00a0Metal, rock, world music, electronica, funk, latin, alternative rock, progressive and dub, they cover it all and then some.\u00a0 You can put that down to guitarist Stevic MacKay who we recently chatted with who matter of factly states \u201cI\u2019ve got this disorder where I can\u2019t write a song in the one style, but that\u2019s basically what started the Twelve Foot Ninja concept. \u201c<\/p>\n

You know what the crazy thing is, as much as such a combination of such diverse styles shouldn\u2019t work, the genius with Twelve Foot Ninja is that it totally works. \u00a0Quite brilliantly, it\u2019s all incorporated into songs that never venture into much more than around 4 minutes long. \u00a0At the heart of every song is an incessant addictiveness, the melodies, choruses and hooks may seep into your senses, moreso than bludgeon you, but there\u2019s plenty of Stevic MacKay guitar riffs and crushing rhythms which will do just that.\u00a0 But don’t worry, there will be some ambient music, quaint atmospherics or soothing soul moments not far behind to let you ensure your faculties are in order. \u00a0Latest single Coming For You <\/em>is as good a song as any on the album to demonstrate what the band is all about both musically and visually, via the rather hilarious video clip which can be seen below.<\/p>\n

On the back of two previous EP releases and a reputation for a killer live show, Silent Machine<\/em> will bring Twelve Foot Ninja to prominence on a far grander scale.\u00a0 I mean, it\u2019s only so long that this twelve foot musical beast can go unnoticed, and for this beast, their time has come.\u00a0 Expect\u00a0Silent Machine<\/em> to be one of the most talked about albums over the coming months in Australian music.\u00a0 Hell, with the likes of bands such as Periphery so publicly espousing their love for Twelve Foot Ninja, Silent Machine <\/em>is bound to take the band global…<\/p>\n
