Bio

Heavy Metal Ninjas remain, as ever, all about the metal in 2015. With a highly anticipated new album out on Warner Music NZ and Grindhouse Records Japan, the four man, eight-legged HMN collective return stronger than ever.

“This album to me, is more about finding my inner self, as a composer, a guitar player and a person, discovering all these things has opened my mind to a new plane for writing my next album” - Richie Allan

As ever, the band are led by guitar virtuoso, Richie Allan, and their line-up is now augmented by fellow Ibanez-endorsed guitarist Brandon Reihana (ex Blindspott), which increases the guitar power in HMN by a full third.

Many will recall their jaw-dropping performance of the winning classical composition at 2011's APRA awards, and the sheer power and spectacle of their live show has to be witnessed first hand. The band deliver a ferocious guitar onslaught of instrumentals while dressed as ninjas, complete with an impressive light show that has them firing laser beams from their fingers. Showmanship is something that has been sorely missing from the local music scene of late, but The Heavy Metal Ninjas arena-ready epic flamboyance is here to lift the bar.
