Beginning as a continuation of Taylor’s former band [[Oni]], Tzun Tzu is an Adelaide death metal unit. Seja from [[Juggermath]] and Blake from [[StarGazer]] completed the line-up that recorded the "Without Zen" EP, with O’Donohue (ex-[[Miscreation]]) adding samples with an Oriental feel. After this drummer Wild and Ritchie from [[DEADpool]] came on board. Early in 2007 the band was working on another release with guest taiko drumming from Adrian Bickle of [[Chalice]] and Selen Gol from '''Juggermath'''. Late that year the group supported '''Behemoth'''. The "Kunoichi" EP was released in May 2008, ahead of the band's support slot with '''Dismember'''. Wild was replaced by Gol around this time and Tzun Tzu went on to open for '''Carcass''', '''Grave''' and '''Krisiun''' over the next six months while completing a split release with [[Ignivomous]] and working on a new album that was released in 2012.
