On Thursday Melbourne fusion prog-metal giants TWELVE FOOT NINJA released the latest single Over and Out (feat. Tatiana Shmayluk) from their upcoming album Vengeance which is to be released on 15 October 2021. The album is to be released in conjunction with a high fantasy novel The Wyvern and The Wolf which has been several years in the making after the release of a graphic novel, a video game and two batshit crazy music videos since May this year. The band has also announced their first live shows since a string of sell-out shows in 2019!

Over and Out features guest vocalist Tatiana Shmayluk from Ukrainian metal-core behemoth JINJER who are enjoying enormous success on the back of the recent release of their fourth studio album Wallflowers.

TWELVE FOOT NINJA’s lead vocalist Kin says “JINJER and TWELVE FOOT NINJA have played together a number of times and we instantly connected the first time we met in the Ukraine capital Kyiv. We’ve since come to respect Tatiana as a musician and as a human so we’re stoked she’s agreed to jump on this track."

Tatiana says "when the TFN 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 Twelve Foot Ninja clan now!"

Lead singer Kin Etik explains, "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’.

About the choice of Tatiana Shmayluk to feature on the track Kin says, "we wanted someone who could represent the lyric ‘the devil in my blood’ – both the darkness and the light. Tatiana embodies what we needed for this track perfectly so asking her to feature on it was a no brainer.”
