About Tzun Tzu: 6 years of Deathmetal! Recording album!
After conquering inner demons, a new breath has been taken to honour a once great warrior. Scripted during times past, enlightened by previous errors and failed warfare. A subconscious Death Metal meditation
…The Art Of War…
With the formation and preparation in 2003, a culmination of dissatisfaction, disinterest and parting ways with a previous clan, the path was clear. Falling from the ranks - masterless and without peer.
Warriors hand picked from the armies of the ancient east, preparing for battle in the ancient ways, material has been prepared and re-scripted for the next epoch…
The Artisans of war:
Don Taylor – Lead/Rhythm/Synth Guitar, Vocals, Composition Nick Seja – Lead/Rhythm/Synth Guitar, 2nd Vocals Adam Ritchie – Bass Guitar, Noise, Programming Selen Gol - Drums
Additional instrumentalists: Peter O'Donohue - Samples/Orchestration Adrian Bickle - Percussion
TzunTzu to-date is comprised of members having fought along side one another in live battle fields in various formations. Material that had been written yet never completed has now been revisited and reformulated, along with new hymns written in time’s of soul seeking.
The first three recorded opus have now been released:
Without Zen demo/ep - 3 main tracks – “Blood Of The Fallen”, “Without Zen” and the haunting “Oni-Kudaki” as well as and introduction and outro peice. co-released with Dissident Records [uk] also includes extensive multi-media and bonus mp3's of fellow lable acts.
Kunoichi MCD - 6 songs including "Shoukai", "Kunoichi", "Gaijin", "NoKata", "The Howling Wind" and "Meinichi" incorporating more traditional oriental sounds and utalising a full line-up. As a bonus - the CD contains a video clip of the track "Gaijin". Co-released by Dissident Records [uk] and distributed in Australia/Asia by Prime Cuts [aus] – a premonition of the ensuing debut full length.
The Assassin Split 7" with Ignivomous (vic) - 2 ambient pieces "Banished" and "Beneath The Shrine" surrounding the main song "The Assassin". Out now via NWN! Productions [usa]
Since taking the steps to form a giging entitiy, TzunTzu has performed live assaults alongside such notable acts as: Defiled [jpn] Denial Of God [den] Behemoth [pol] Dismember [swe] Carcass [uk] Grave [swe] Krisiun [bra] Portal [aus] and Mournful Congregation [Aus].
TzunTzu has completed re-working and recorded an ancient track entitled Komuso from a previous clan for a split 7"/CD with fellow South Australian band Altars to be released by Enucleation Records [USA], and is also nearly completed the writing for the full length debut to be recorded mid to late 2009.
