8 Foot Sativa's new video - Sleepwalkers

**Gwinch** · 24th January 2009, 10:55

Good to see that they've come so far from their first album despite all that's happened within the band.

Warning: Not vegetarian friendly! Gratuitous butchering of four legged mammals contained within.

I dig it.

Great NZ metal.

Video makes me want to BBQ.

That ain't 8 Foot Sativa, it's a bunch of different blokes who stole the name.

It's good but derivative. I've heard that opening riff a million times, hell I've played that opening riff a million times.

Blokes who stole the name?

What happened there then?

EFS has had more line up changes than Iron Maiden.

Yeah the first two albums were awesome, but the newer stuff is just a bit to screamy. Can't hear a word the guys singing apart from "sleepwalkers" every now and then.

Cool video though.

They sure have had a wide mix of band members!
The vocalists sound similar though my favourite was Justin Niessen

The Jackhammer had far clearer vocals than the guy they have at the moment.

I dont think they should be called 8 ft anymore, only 1 OG member, thats a little shaky, 3 vocalists etc..

still, not a bad song thoough..

"hate made me" is still the champ i reckon

Bands evolve, often into ones with no original members of the band left.

Not to this extent. This just goes to show how poorly the original legal entity of EFS was created and maintained.

Meh I'll see how the go live when they play work in a few weeks.

Agreed, Sepultura is nothing of what it once was, then again, they may have actually split up. I don't care about 'em anymore anyway.

Their first two albums was badly recorded crap that to be honest, amases me that they got their name out there with that. Apart from chelsea smile. Hate made me is good, but most of their new songs are winners for me.
