Death Metal Meditation
Established 2003

About Me

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 Guitar, Vocals, Composition
Nick Seja – Lead Guitar, 2nd Vocals
Adam Ritchie – Bass Guitar
Daniel Wild – Drums
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 offering of 3 Pieces – “Blood Of The Fallen”, “Without Zen” and the haunting “Oni-Kudaki” has been released in conjunction with Dissident Records – a premonition of the ensuing chapter "Kunoichi".
