Stadium Shows

This is not an achievement a simple lucky break can bring, it takes hard work and years of dedication. 8 Foot Sativa are the first metal band in NZ to crack out of the small scene and bring New Zealand Heavy Metal to mainstream kiwis doorsteps, with the song "8 Foot Sativa" staying at number 1 for three months and eight months in the charts. They have also had success overseas, in Australia, USA and Europe.
Debut Album
With their first album "Hate Made Me" achieving Gold Record status, the follow up with "Season for Assault", which established 8 Foot Sativa as a household name. Since then they have released 2 more albums "Breed The Pain" and "Poison Of Ages", both recorded in Sweden under the guidance of Pelle Seather (Carnal Forge and Corporation 187). Both albums sold out on release and showed 8 Foot Sativa's ability to expand their sound and show their diversity.
