Beginning as a continuation of Don Taylor’s former band [[Oni]], Tzun Tzu is an Adelaide death metal unit. Nick Seja from [[Juggermath]] and Denny Blake from [[StarGazer]] completed the line-up that recorded the ''Without Zen'' EP, with Peter O’Donohue (ex-[[Miscreation]]) adding samples with an Oriental feel. After this drummer Dan Wild and Adam Ritchie from [[DEADpool]] came on board. ''Kuniochi'' featured 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 a 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]]. Alan Catman of [[Altars]] joined Tzun Tzu in 2011.
