Injured Ninja ‘TOTAL IMPACT! MAXXX DAMAGE’
Five Track EP Released November 2020
“TOTAL IMPACT! MAXXX DAMAGE!”is a furious musical f*ck- fest from the Ninja boys that starts at 110% percent with a sonic sledgehammer to the face, then quickly ramps it up to a full force Kavanaugh senate confirmation hearing pummeling that smile onto your dial with existentialist glee. Sludgy groovy ass bass sits atop violent third-degree burns drums with creamy layers of evocatively lush and harsh guitar waves, whilst Alyian’s singspeak vocals wax euphoric anticapitalist wet dreams
First single‘Erroneous Monk’(released November 6) is a feel- good onslaught of Ninja noise that expresses the collective bewilderment and disdain of becoming an augmented singularity of information and flesh as we embrace our confusing digital future. Zen. Jam. Zen-jam?
Back in the day INJURED NINJA earned a WAM song of the year award for their song ‘IDDQD’ split with French Rockets in 2010 beating out Eskimo Joe and John Butler, and were crowned ‘Best Hardcore / Punk Act’ in 2012 to the dismay of actual punk bands. They toured Japan and the US and supported the likes of Gang of Four, HEALTH and My Disco. All the band members are film-makers, sound artists and general freaks in various multi- media fields. Hence why its taken so long to get a new record done. Well, that and all the existential futility and tile work on the new bathroom.
Ninja’s back and as furious as ever – and - excited to be here and be able to return to their collective roots and recreate this music that is the cathartic release that we all need right now. Scream into the void and let it scream back to you.
“TOTAL IMPACT! MAXXX DAMAGE!” will be released digitally on all streaming services / bandcamp on November 27.
