Twelve Foot Ninja is set to release a new album called Vengeance on October 15th. The second to last track on the album also serves as the first single and features Jinjer vocalist Tatiana Shmayluk. The video for “Over And Out” was co-directed by Twelve Foot Ninja lead guitarist Stevic MacKay and Ben Davis.
Twelve Foot Ninja frontman Kin Etik said of the song:
“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.”
When it came to finding the right person to feature on the song, Kin said:
“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. Her band 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 tom to respect Tatiana as a musician and as a human so we’re stoked she’s agreed to jump on this track.”
