New Zealand's premier metal band 8 Foot Sativa have risen from the Wild West of Auckland becoming a household name and creating Metal history in New Zealand. The huge success of their three previous albums, national tours, break- through chart positions and exposure in the main stream media has never before been seen in this country by a Heavy Metal band. 8 Foot Sativa have also shared the stage with many profile bands including Metallica, Pantera, Soulfly, Korn, Slipknot, System of a Down, Children of Bodom, Disturbed, Amon Amarth, Motorhead and Corrosion of Conformity.
In 2002 the bands debut album Hate Made Me achieved Gold status in New Zealand, putting 8 Foot Sativa at the top of the food chain straight out of the gate. 2003's Season For Assault garnered five star reviews, entered the album charts at number 6, and made it to number 1 on the independent charts, a first for a Metal band in New Zealand. In 2005 8 Foot released their third album, Breed The Pain, recorded in Sweden with Studio Underground's Pelle Saether (Carnal Forge, Fleshcrawl). The band so enjoyed the dynamic with the veteran producer/engineer that he was brought on board for album number four 'Poison of Ages'
The band is currently working on album number 5, with the first single and video due to drop January 2013. The new album will see 8 Foot Sativa heading in their usual direction, straight at you like an unstoppable cannonball, Album 5 will see the long awaited return of frontman Justin "JACKHAMMER" Niessen. 8 FOOT SATIVA are ready to further express their rage at the many social and political ills of this world. The album is slated for release mid next year with an extensive tour of New Zealand and Australia.
