Tzun Tzu is:
Don Taylor: Lead/Rhythm/Synth Guitars, Vocals
Nick Seja: Lead/Rhythm/Synth Guitars, Vocals
Adam Ritchie: Bass/Noise, Programming
Alan Cadman: Drums

Tzun Tzu hearkens to a glorious past…the late 1990s, when the median DM fan didn’t find Hate Eternal too brutal to process. The Orientalism is cringey, but the riffs are serious.
–Doug Moore / Stereogum

This is a strong showing of Tzun Tzu‘s greater points of differentiation beyond the average moderately progressive brutal death metal act and shit, they still hit really hard.
Highly recommended.

Sunzi is considered to be the author of the book The Art Of Wars, an influential Chinese book on military strategy. Whether the band Tzun Tzu is inspired by this author when they chosen band names I do not know? What I do know is that their latest mini release The Forbidden City have much heaviness, darkness and brutality and that the musicians involved probably have much skills like Sunzi!

Brutal Fuckin Death Metal!!! This shit hits so fast and hard it takes you a second to recollect yourself. With catchy ripping guitars and tight brutal drumming, I was hooked right away. Upon my first listen I was thriving for a full replay. Definitely a gem of an album and a Death Metal classic! 9/10 ChrestusV
