8 Foot Sativa is a New Zealand-based extreme metal band formed in 1998. Their most famous single is their self-titled song, "8 Foot Sativa", which was number one on M2, a late night New Zealand music show's top 12 list for 12 weeks, and stayed on the chart for seven months. (M2 was a New Zealand late night Music Show.) The band has toured and released albums internationally, and have played alongside artists such as Fear Factory, Soulfly, Korn, Slipknot, System of a Down, Children of Bodom, Disturbed, Motörhead, Pungent Stench, Shihad and Corrosion of Conformity. 8 Foot Sativa have become a household name in New Zealand and are known as the biggest and most successful metal band to come out of the country to date.

8 Foot Sativa formed when members Brent Fox and Gary Smith met at Massey High School in Auckland, New Zealand. They both enjoyed metal music and played music together. Peter 'Speed' Young from Kelston Boys' High School joined the band as the band's drummer. 'Fat' Dave was on the bass guitar. In their early days, they were a cover band, who would play music from Pantera, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Sepultura, Metallica and Slayer.

'Fat' Dave would often not turn up to practices, so Brent Fox moved from guitar to bass guitar. The band would meet their next vocalist, Ari, at a music school, where they formally learned at where he was doing drums. Ari was the first vocalist to do original songs, writing lyrics to the songs 'Fuel Set' , 'Kick it all Away' and 'Engine' , all of which later appears on their debut album.
