Twelve Foot Ninja release new music video for ‘Over And Out’
TWELVE FOOT NINJA have released a new music video!
The new music video, for the track Over And Out, is taken from the Australian progressive metal band’s upcoming new album, Vengeance, which is scheduled to be released in October this year. The new single features a guest appearance from JINJER‘s Tatiana Shmayluk.
Speaking about the new music video, guitarist Stevic MacKay says, “a man covered in cow shit wanders the Australian bush seeking clarity. Tortured by recurring dreams about having no face, meeting the ferryman in a Finnish swamp, old twitchy people with straw heads, vacuuming the forest, cradling a pike and squash playing goat people who spoil Christmas and drink everyone’s dregs…The only obvious thing to do is find a door Goblin to suck “dream gravy” (aka Vegemite) off his fingers so he can teleport to a Ukrainian mechanical genie to blow his mind with Australian metaphors about being fucked in the head.”
About the choice of Tatiana Shmayluk to feature on the track and appear in the video, lead singer Kin says, “we wanted someone who could represent the lyric ‘the devil in my blood’ – both the darkness and the light. Tatiana embodies this perfectly so asking her to feature on it was a no brainer.” Explaining the lyrics on the new song, Kin adds, “the song is an ode to the complicated relationship we have with our own mortality and how death can seem like the arms of a lover beckoning us to an early demise. The French first coined the phrase l’appel du vide which is the feeling of wondering what it would be like to jump in front of a truck or to jump off a cliff. It translates into English as the ‘call of the void’. The phenomenon is actually a positive affirmation that by not answering the call you unequivocally choose life.”

Speaking about collaborating with the band, JINJER‘s Tatiana says, “when the TWELVE FOOT NINJA guys asked me to feature on one of their new tracks, I immediately said yes without even hearing it! The song and video were a lot of fun and very different from anything I’ve done with JINJER … it’s a great pleasure to be an honorary member of the Ninja clan now!”
Vengeance is set for release on October 15th via self-release. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
