How busy have you been?

[@trilljaded6330]

The body, The mind, The target, The shape, The breath, The hand, The weapon, The weight. The silence, The sound, The tide, The wake, The sword, The spirit, The soul, Ablaze. The bird slips out of my hand, And into the heart of the enemy, The bird slips out of my hand, Plunges into the heart. The strike, The union, The quest, The aim, The perfect momentum, The unyielding haze. The focus, The tide, The void, The space, The domain of self. The bird slips out of my hand, And into the heart of the enemy, The bird slips out of my hand, Plunges into the heart. Rin, Kyo, Toh, Sha, Kai, Jin, Retsu, Zai, Zen.

[@SuperBighaus]

I'm 52 and these young lads have restored my faith in music! They have officially inspired me to rally some battle ready note wizards to accompany me as i sing fresh words in my newest foray into the bandlands. TFN: Mission Accomplished

Great to read comments like this one. Cheers to you mate!

Very original. Growing on me quickly. Great vocal harmonies. Love the silliness and the energy.

[@harvesteroftone5473]

R0M how can cloning the Mike Patton bands be original?

[@austin4x]

Harvester Of Tone sounding like him vocally doesn't translate to ripping him off. Mike Patton has never done djent in any of his bands. There's nothing wrong with being influenced by a predecessor, ass hat.

Never heard of these cats till this morning. I'm in america. American. Yay. I know. These guys are absolutely incredible. The last band I paid this much attention to is Primus. I'm a bass player, so I'm sure you understand. Twelvefootninja deals death!

[@MjBurns88]

Rebecca Monsour. Just heard them for the first time right now 2018... Epic musicianship. The bassist and drummer are lethal. Great Fusion just great. We are witnessing greatness people! How are they not the biggest band in the world right now? I know, there fantastic real musicians, too good to be popular. Less would def approve.

[@MjBurns88]

I meant LES... stupid voice recognition. Grrr

[@bidenlovesminorsblm543]

Imagine feeling sorry for be American. Bet you're white and that also makes you feel bad about yourself. 🤣 News flash, it's not your country or your race. It's you...🤡👌

[@noxgrim3207]

Every fucking day im so glad that i saw a random video pop up on my KZbin recommended and thought "Hmm, 12 Foot Ninja is an interesting name, i wonder if they're any good" Ive never looked back. Love this band SO MUCH.

[@X-mordred-X]

Agree 100%

[@mfierley]

Commenting from 30,000 feet mates, Australia contributes the best of this world on many levels, twelve foot ninja is one example. So fucking under rated and exhilarating on every level.

[@tyrellscott7457]

I think I have listened to this song 823 times this week...and I don't stop singing it when its not playing.

[@adamgaddis8808]

Wow u need a life

Tyrell Scott Damn! How did you not run out of Mobile Data?

[@recipexlol3309]

My first time hearing this, and what a phenomenal piece of music. It's got literally everything you want in a song. The poetry and serene verses, then when the chorus hit I was blown away. What's weird to me is as the second chorus came in I was brought to tears by the sheer epicness of it all. Thanks guys. What an experience!

[@twelvefootninja]

This isn't the crowd funded clip . . . Just a little scrapbook of some of our shows over the past year.

[@Macthesauce90]

This album changed my life in a positive way. I'm sick with a cold, and still can't stop rocking out to this.

[@BritishArmyTributes]

These guys are up with Opeth and Gojira in my books. Consistent epicness

[@staticscream2509]

Richard Handler Gojira is another band that I can't listen to enough! They're both fucking awesomeness that can't be contained!

[@ImOutsideTheBox]

Richard Handler try checking out Tesseract, space vikings!

[@X3nonEyez]

That's insulting, opeth and Gojira have nothing on these guys

[@keithwaldsmith8142]

TragicGreek especially opeth

Richard Handler gojira is awsome bro these guysa are up with gojira and periphery and karnivool

[@thehouseofjacquelyn.4444]

I just heard this band for the first time on SiriusXM Octane and my god what a sound. I'm pretty damn excited to hear more.

[@twelvefootninja]

Cheers Jacki!

[@peterramos9130]

check out all of their music...just epic

[@IIIFrenchyIII]

Damn you even got a response 😂👍

[@Kjertinge]

I’ve been a fan for years. Kin even sent me and my gf a happy birthday video. Still to this day i am crushed I still haven’t been able to witness them live. I will I could have caught Damon slappin the bass before he left. But as soon as Covid is gone and the world is healthy again I’m taking a one way flight to Australia and never leaving so long as TFN is playing shows

[@dkyelak]

Any one know who plays bass on the upcoming album? They say it's done and just waiting for a good time to release it.

[@Kjertinge]

@@dkyelak I'm assuming Ro or Stevic are doing the bass for the album, and the shows they played recently they had the bass back tracked. But I am interested to see who they recruit. I really hope Damon comes back, these guys are so close to making it and it sucks that hes leaving on the cusp of greatness

[@vaderland]

One of the best bands in recent memory. Very talented musicians. Very reminiscent of Faith No More IMO... and I'm a huge FNM fan.

[@berenseregon1537]

I absolutely love it when i see a band go up on stage and really just have a fun time you can tell that its all for the love of the music, also 2:30 the unbridled joy on the face of the guitarist gives me life. love you guys

[@twelvefootninja]

We are!

[@radekwojtanovsky5123]

have been playing this tune on loop for the last week, amazing song! These guys are new faith no more to me....

[@felipedejesusmelendezvalen2025]

It sounds like a bastard child between Faith No More and Meshugahh baptized by Mr. Bungle

[@rolmodel12.]

+Felipe de Jesús Meléndez Valencia wow, spot on dude. Meshugah"s tone, but more groove-friendly. Everything and nothing sounds like Mr.Bungle. That band was all over the map

[@GodJa420]

+Felipe de Jesús Meléndez Valencia I don't even know if I like them or not. It's fucking strange, but I honestly have no idea how i feel about this band.

[@Katastrophe1977]

+Felipe de Jesús Meléndez Valencia You nailed it. I totally agree. I was trying to think of who else they sounded like than FNM.

[@custodiopayaso]

+Auriga M ne toda la razon !

[@grant724]

It's got some System of a Down in there two, lyrically and compositionally. I fucking love this band.

[@ThirdPlanetRocks]

So much personality from a band I'd never heard of until 3 days ago. I've just been shamelessly binge-ing. Tried even buying a shirt for my lanky ass, but you guys only had 3XLs for US sizing.

[@user-me2xf4pi9x]

I heard these guys on sat radio for sometime but never really gave them a chance. Then I saw them live.... so many amazing musical elements rolled into one glorious show.

[@ryanhatacky3397]

How does this song only get 1k likes?! This song is fucking epic.

[@Volksmash]

Right??!!! I guess it's because everyone is all about that bass now...Fucking shame.

[@KasbashPlays]

I'm getting a massive Mr.Bungle from this band. Try them out :)

[@BillyVotta]

I cannot believe I'm only just now getting into these guys. They're EPIC. This track is so poetically written and so well performed. Actually a lite track compared to how crazy and genre mixing they can get in others, but omg that chorus won't leave me. Ever.

[@BillyVotta]

And the fricken lead guitarist INVENTS GUITARS! The vairax shrunken line invented by this guy. And they're so down to earth. I can't express how impressed I am with these guys. Literal gods among us.

[@twelvefootninja]

Cheers mate! :)

[@BOBBYPEACOCK]

Dude I am 55 years old. I love people who say 55 years young. Bullshit you're old lmao. But I love your music. My niece posted a song by you on Facebook and I have been addicted ever since. Keep on kicking out awesome songs and I love your guys sense of humor. Busier than a blowfly at a bar b que. Thanks again for the awesome music and that laughs

[@peterross9575]

Oh wow you guys have amazing voices. Pops you kick ass.

[@gabrielfrost1582]

I know there's allot comparisons because you know that's how we associate things we like in our brains, but 12-foot ninja really do have a distinct sound. the vocals, the riffs, the bass..i mean I'm no musician but its very stylistic and id say they are in my opinion one of the best modern rock bands, and one of the very few that scream that i genuinly enjoy

[@munz923]

I sooooo cannot wait to see these guys at the Black Widow Tour in Philly!!!!

[@Saphedon]

TFN is now one of my favorites of all time! I heard them first on SiriusXM radio on my way home and the name intrigued me... Had no idea that this kind of music existed and now I don't see how I could go without it. Too often bands fall into norms and just make music that sounds like whatever is already out there, but that's not what I'm hearing here! Here's hoping for more radio air play so that others can discover it the same way I did.

[@stefandedalus7103]

Best song? Can't pick one... Stevic's Variax is a MONSTER NINJA! Gee, mates, I'm past 50 and I sing this on the coach! Might pick up my Pro Mark or Vic Firth, though... Not enough words for these crazy bunch! And they replied my PM, too! Epicness, and for FNM, I sang whole Angel Dust in '92 while floating in the Mare Nostrum. But this --- "The bird slips out of my hands..." OMG

[@deanabanana1051]

ughhh I CANT believe that I never heard of them before until their concert they had at San Francisco yesterday!! I was right there in the very front and freakin Kin was right in front of me shaking his hips and singing at me....

[@jasonwhipe9270]

I can't wait for the next album 🤘

[@ericgilbert7153]

Seeing them Tonight in Québec city!!! Can't wait!

This song inspired me to read Qi-Gong and Kuji-In. Much appreciated fellas

[@StoopidDub33]

Please come to the states soon, I love you guys

[@ML-jk3sz]

[@Kaskets3D]

Wanna see these guys here in fort wayne indiana so damn bad. Hurts my soul. 🔥

[@mrslate1]

I saw these guys on their first date headlining in Minneapolis this past April, and they were awesome. (I'm a musician so I am uber critical) tight and funky. I hope they come back soon. Stevic is an approachable guy BTW, well they all were. I wish there were more bands going off the beaten to death path of heavy guitars and screaming. (Which I do like as well) and throwing in bosa nova and reggae, and still getting people to listen and like it... I'll be back...

[@rolmodel12.]

+Todd Marx If you like technical metal with different fusions, give Between the Buried and Me (the album Colors, in particular) a listen. Although, heavy and screaming- as you mention steering away from, they are all over the map as far as influences. And try to hang in there, if you don't like the first 30 seconds (or whatever).

[@mrslate1]

Cool I've heard of them, but haven't listened to their stuff. Thanks for the recommendation.

[@middlefingerpuppet]

I cant stop listening to this tune

[@xBADJUJUx]

Saw you guys in the Chicagoland area last week...turn your bus around, we aint done with you yet! Chicago needs more TFN!
