With the current hiatus of the band this video almost brings me to tears. Such an ungodly talented group of musicians that just said we are done. I understand people having their differences and having other adversities in their lives but these guys have a gift like no other band on the planet and I feel like music will suffer without them in the picture. TFN has gotten me through very tough times in my life and I know eventually they will realize that their music needs to reach the people regardless of their current circumstances
Couldn't be more true or well said! As a Prog Rock, Metal. Jazz, Jam, Classical musician I really Vibe w/ TFN and Really Hope they continue to make more AMAZING UNIQUE BEAUTIFUL, FUCKING HEAVY MUSIC!!🤘🏻
Man, I hate comments like this :) Just look at the damn Like/Dislike ratio. Should they be more popular? Certainly. Are they underrated? Hell no. They're absolute heavyweights in the prog scene and rightly so.
Not underrated. Of those that know them they are the best out there but they are definitely under exposed. So spread the word because these guys are one in a million in this day and age.
One of my favorite bands that stay true to their music. If they sold out, that's when shit goes south and the music suffers. They're unique and awesome regardless of how many views or likes they get.
One of my favorite things is when TFN arranges their songs into acoustic versions, its like we get two different views of an awesome song where both are stellar.
They're just an incredibly talented group of artists. Amazing songwriters. Sometimes I wonder if the genius of their work is lost, for some, in the zaniness of their videos heh.
That voice is out of this world. I'm a guitarist and his voice is what drew me to this band(usually its the guitar). It will be sad if he's decided to not be a part of it anymore.
12 Foot Ninja are literally the perfect example of a band that can adapt to any musical style. Definitely one of the most talented bands to come out within the last 20 years.
Saddest/most smile Inducing video on RUclips. I wish I could have experienced any version of them live, before them separating! It hurts my soul to think these humans don't make music together any longer. Something about them....
Dudes. I would pay double for an album of these jazzy/unplugged versions of your music. Deluge hit, like never before, and that SWEET SWEET jazzy progression in Liberation from Stevic and Rohan sent fucking CHILLS bros. I love this. Just wanted that to be clear lol.
I would give anything to just meet these guys and tell them how much their music intruded my brain. I eat, sleep, and breath 12FN now. I appreciate everyone of their talents equally. You guys fucking ROCK!!
You condemn me as the devil himself in an attmept to erase my spark But since the devil don't exist where I am, he could only be where you are... I love that
Heard the hard version but this song is quite beautiful in this rendition. Stevic has a unique solo style. But, the magic with TFN is how the beat, the backing volcals/rhythm and vocals mesh together like braided velvet. I’m an oldschool metal head but there’s just something special with this band. I appreciate their talent. Of course the second song is the same beautiful and harmonious style.
All I can say is holy shit. I started listening to this band about two years ago and I haven't regretted it. Love the band like crazy and love the humor too.
This is so perfect. These songs were the deepest on the whole album.... "say can you see the manipulation? I have a dream of liberation." "I have walked... Into the dark, so I could come to know the light." Tear my heart out.
The tragedy of this absolutely brilliant moment in time is that we'll never see it's like again.... RIP TFN *please come back for a live recording of all your best done EXACTLY like this
These guys have perfected the art of Epic choruses that get stuck in your head for weeks... Kinda insane how good their writing is. I discovered them through the Jinjer collab.. And now im binging their material and loving every bit of it.
I'm listening to this long after the last album was released and the band broke up. These guys will always be a big part of my memory and always will take me back to when I first discovered them
Acabei descobrindo eles há 5 anos atraz, e um dia enquanto viajava para disputar um campeonato de Karaté eu ouvia 2 álbuns do Twelve Foot Ninja sem parar, a musicalidade deles realmente impressiona, é engraçado vejo um monte de gente sem talento sendo exaltado pela midia e caras como eles que tem o dom a magia da música, não tem a notoriedade que merecem... Obrigado TWELVE FOOT NINJA vocês marcaram uma bela parte da minha vida e acredito que de muitas pessoas que apreciam a música, a propósito eu venci aquele campeonato de Karaté rs. 👏👏👏...
@Aaron madazz Morgan yeah. They mentioned it in one of their RUclips clips. My memory is shit and i dont remember details why though. With the way guitars are though he's not really needed.
Why.....why did they leave us. Just when I was getting into this shit. Well, just gonna say the musicianship from these fellas is top notch. Absolutely brilliant. Unique and brilliant. It's beautiful.
Okay - 12FN's music is more addictive than crack! Not that I've ever been addicted to crack or any other controlled substance, but I imagine my now constant needing a fix of 12FN is the closest I've ever come to being a junkie for anything! I'm inspired by the similar impression others have of their music and the recognition of their amazing talent. For me, the performances in this video are the best acoustic versions of any non-acoustic song I've ever had the pleasure of listening to - period. Absolute perfection. 12FN occupies a unique and special place in the musical universe and the acclaim they deserve is far beyond established standards. I've made it my mission to introduce every music lover I know to this exceptional group of musicians as I'm sure others are doing as well. Music this outstanding must be shared.
I have probably commented again on this video but damn... I just can't get enough of it... I wish there was more... The best band i know off these days guys... Keep it up guys, please don't let go of this wonderful project...
I'd love these guys to play at my wedding, me and my partner discussed how they would be a great compromise for the family as we love Metal but there's also a sprinkle of Funk here and there so everyone can dance to their music and have a good time, I can definitely see my Nan having a boogie.
Ken you guys kick ass!! Y'all were so fucking down to earth. Our introduction to the band was a live one in little rock with nothing more. I turn around after your set and there y'all were, in the crowd, beer in hand chillin. Also our sons first heavy rock show and he feel asleep!! Y'all thought is was so cool that we brought the whole family. Fan for life dudes!!!!!!
Man I love these guys. That quintessential bass line puts a hole in the track but still listening to the remaining members perform acoustic is quite the treat.
Absolutely Totally MEGA! The music. The videos. The complete package. Just the fuckin perfect mix of collective energy. Refined acoustic versions to blow your head off metal. Then watch out! Here comes the Ninja change up! I’m still in total awe of these guys. Come on Gents! Please put your differences aside. Think it. Feel it. Do it. LETS ROCK!
Lyrics: -Deluge- You rode the vibration of anger like riding the tide out to sea You tried to find the face of salvation, but all you found was me Now you're staring at the sword in your chest like I owe you an apology I would never suspect that you would do this to your family, but no mercy You're not alone I will arise and arrive from the depth of this hole You must atone When i reconcile with the force at the depth of my soul I will be home You've got nowhere left to go, i've fought through liars and lows, and it all ends now I'm hitting you where it hurts, and this is all you deserve, and it all ends now Oh how the tables have turned Oh how your temples will burn You've got nowhere left to go, you'd best prepare for the storm, and it all ends, and it all ends now You condemn me as the devil himself in an attmept to erase my spark But since the devil don't exist where I am, he could only be where you are You're not alone I will arise and arrive from the depth of this hole You must atone When i reconcile with the force at the depth of my soul I will be home You've got nowhere left to go, i've fought through liars and lows, and it all ends now I'm hitting you where it hurts, and this is all you deserve, and it all ends now Oh how the tables have turned Oh how your temples will burn You've got nowhere left to go, you'd best prepare for the storm, and it all ends, and it all ends now I have walked in to the dark so I could come to know the light The light! -Liberation- Awakening To all we were and all that we've become Apathy Your vain in desperation Hail to the theif The cavalcade of victims interfaced To revere the hate, the orchestration Say oh can you see the manipulation I have a dream of liberation Guarantees now worth the print of paper bloodstained currency We rape our world of patience Awakening When we begin to face all we've allowed to be In our name A transmutation Say oh can you see the manipulation I have a dream of liberation Say oh can you see the manipulation I have a dream of liberation
As many times as I've listened to this song among every other song of theirs, they can make it sound brand new.. Damn you fellas are talented and made for eachother. All that said I need me some brand new ninja!!
We need an acoustic album! Of your tunes these are amazing.... My favorite is when you did an unplugged version of kingdom it blows me away how talented you guys are and how you're vocal harmonies with Rohan are beautiful.... You guys are my favorite band and I wish you guys could come to Canada and tour here.... Can't wait for the new album
Their music takes me somewhere else and really opens up my imagination, they've helped me escape and get over a load of things in my life for sure. Keep up the good work guys 👍 When are they going to get a massive deal and a few mill thrown at them 🤷♂️ super talented 🦄
These boys have been busier than a cat.
Burying shit

Well that IS busy isn't it?!
Busy little beavers!

They're getting back from the hiatus, unfortunately without the vocalist, actually they're looking for a new one
what hiatus?
@@Antonio.Medeirosthat's sad I love I is voice so much
well put
i love how Stevic’s baldness transcends his screen 🤣
Tragically underrated.
Man, I hate comments like this :) Just look at the damn Like/Dislike ratio. Should they be more popular? Certainly. Are they underrated? Hell no. They're absolute heavyweights in the prog scene and rightly so.
Not underrated. Of those that know them they are the best out there but they are definitely under exposed. So spread the word because these guys are one in a million in this day and age.
It’s what happens when you don’t sell your soul lol
One of my favorite bands that stay true to their music. If they sold out, that's when shit goes south and the music suffers. They're unique and awesome regardless of how many views or likes they get.
@@MrXaeb And that's what real music is. I'm so glad we are getting new music from the boys in may though!
One of my favorite things is when TFN arranges their songs into acoustic versions, its like we get two different views of an awesome song where both are stellar.
you're going to love life soon Brother. They are about to release an acoustic album! I cannot wait!!
They're just an incredibly talented group of artists. Amazing songwriters.
Sometimes I wonder if the genius of their work is lost, for some, in the zaniness of their videos heh.
I'm still sad about Kin leaving :(
One of the best bands ever of any genre, basically because they play every genre and they're damn great at it too.
Well said... These guys are all the above.
When are we gonna get an acoustic album mates?? JUST TAKE MY MONEY!
twelve string ninja
Seriously!
Ooooooh yes please!
YESSSSSSS! I’d buy 3 copies of it. DO IT NOW.
This! It would be amazing.
They’ve been busy mate
As busy as a cat?
Burying shit in concrete
Nahhp nahhp. They haven't been very busy at all, have they? Bita watchin tha bloody grass grow.
Uhhhhh, that is busy, isn't it?
That's quite busy
Man, chris pontius can really sing!!
Partyboy strikes back
Considering I always thought this song (and band) has some CKY energy, seems fitting.
it's the HUGE-rocket-tipped-dick-energy.
Hahahaha
So it’s not just me who sees it! Thank you!
That voice is out of this world. I'm a guitarist and his voice is what drew me to this band(usually its the guitar). It will be sad if he's decided to not be a part of it anymore.
They need to stay together and tour the states, they will hit big if they could just hang in there!
12 Foot Ninja are literally the perfect example of a band that can adapt to any musical style. Definitely one of the most talented bands to come out within the last 20 years.
Liberation is such an appropriate song for this moment
So is Deluge I guess :O
Liberation is perfect
Saddest/most smile
Inducing video on RUclips. I wish I could have experienced any version of them live, before them separating! It hurts my soul to think these humans don't make music together any longer. Something about them....
They truly are so underrated. It's actually sad.
It's so sad that I just found out about this band. Even sadder to read that this amazing singer is leaving the band.
Dudes. I would pay double for an album of these jazzy/unplugged versions of your music. Deluge hit, like never before, and that SWEET SWEET jazzy progression in Liberation from Stevic and Rohan sent fucking CHILLS bros.
I love this. Just wanted that to be clear lol.
Check out Rohan's channel!! Fucking loaded with goodies...
The time has come, now you can. We all can
I would give anything to just meet these guys and tell them how much their music intruded my brain. I eat, sleep, and breath 12FN now. I appreciate everyone of their talents equally. You guys fucking ROCK!!
These guys define my teenage years
"Hey guys, we're doing an 'unplugged' version."
Drummer: //Gets an electric kit.//
This version of deluge is flawless.
The adaptation of the vocals on 'The liiiiiiiight' at 3:50 was so well done
You condemn me as the devil himself in an attmept to erase my spark
But since the devil don't exist where I am, he could only be where you are... I love that
Heard the hard version but this song is quite beautiful in this rendition. Stevic has a unique solo style. But, the magic with TFN is how the beat, the backing volcals/rhythm and vocals mesh together like braided velvet.
I’m an oldschool metal head but there’s just something special with this band.
I appreciate their talent.
Of course the second song is the same beautiful and harmonious style.
Can you please put this on Spotify/Apple Music?
Ro and kin project. I would buy that all day long.
This is a monument to Kin and Ro's vocal talent.
All I can say is holy shit. I started listening to this band about two years ago and I haven't regretted it. Love the band like crazy and love the humor too.
This is so perfect. These songs were the deepest on the whole album.... "say can you see the manipulation? I have a dream of liberation." "I have walked... Into the dark, so I could come to know the light." Tear my heart out.
The sign of a truly talented band. When a live performance sounds even better than in the studio. Fantastic job!
Honestly one of the most talented groups out there today.
Goodness me. I need this band. I NEED IT! WHERE ARE YOU GUYS!?!?!?!???? 😭😭😭😭
The tragedy of this absolutely brilliant moment in time is that we'll never see it's like again.... RIP TFN
*please come back for a live recording of all your best done EXACTLY like this
Part of me feels like Stevic was commenting how his head goes into Shanes box the whole time after this was posted and they reviewed it
No way to unsee it now. Good one, had a laugh!
Just another part of the drumset
bro i was trying to find one comment saying about his head after i saw it, and i only found yours tf hahaha
Get back together lads! We all miss you!
These guys have perfected the art of Epic choruses that get stuck in your head for weeks... Kinda insane how good their writing is. I discovered them through the Jinjer collab.. And now im binging their material and loving every bit of it.
Amazing performance honestly, and I like the acoustic version of Liberation more than the original. Kin has some very respectable pipes.
I dont understand how I have never heard this band... I've heard a few songs and I'm hooked.... They're so unique. Hard to find anymore.
Best unplugged concert I've enjoyed this much in years...
Great voice, do love TFN but listening to them unplugged really allow's Kin's vocals too shine.
This has to be one of the most underrated bands around. These guys are absolutely phenomenal.
My favorite band 😢 I hope you are all healthy and happy
This band is amazingly talented, and deserves so much more recognition. Can't wait for a new release and a new tour, a real tour.
Yes, thank you, Metal Injection. More people need to know about the greatness of TFN!
God damn both those songs make me cry everytime this whole album is a classic.
Hah!! Thought I was the only one that gets teared up, even over TFN music. They hit me dead in the feels on soooo many songs.
Their best album imho.
So sad to live the band stray apart.... deluge..phenomenal! TFN!!!
3:56 .....gives me chills every fuckin time! so DAMN GOOD!
Their acoustic versions are just as amazing. Truly Elite songwriters
Would love to see a Mike Patton collaboration.
That’s not Mike Patton!? 😂😂 (kidding)
Literally same voice, same cadence. Amazing.
I'm listening to this long after the last album was released and the band broke up. These guys will always be a big part of my memory and always will take me back to when I first discovered them

A moment of respect for the bassist for having the heart to sit this one out! 🤘🏻
he's permanently out of the band.
@Aaron madazz Morgan yeah. They mentioned it in one of their RUclips clips. My memory is shit and i dont remember details why though. With the way guitars are though he's not really needed.
He left on his own terms, and they decided they'll go with a backing track live / not bother the hassle to find a new session bassist
I thought it was to do with an injury he got or something?
This band is so fucking perfection. I could listen to Nik for hours. What a voice! He is so incredible
Why.....why did they leave us. Just when I was getting into this shit. Well, just gonna say the musicianship from these fellas is top notch. Absolutely brilliant. Unique and brilliant. It's beautiful.
One of my favorite bands 🤘🔥🤘
Absolutely incredible, these guys are one of the most talented bands around now.
When are we going to get these live versions on Spotify? this stuff kicks ass!
Honestly, this is one of those bands that is gonna stick with me til the day I die.
I love you guys
Just found this, fekin superb, love the harmonies 🤘
I have listened this at least 50 times. One of my all time favorite bands. Please get back to business making more music.
You guys seriously dominate every genre you tackle.
KIN'S VOICE MAKES ME QUIVER, BRO.
Sounds so good. Such talented band
They're too good to grace us mere mortals with their music. And I'm forever grateful.
The people need you guys, freshest and most original sound I've heard in a long time
I've been waiting for their new album, like waiting for my turn to use the toilet to drop a big one
Deluge acoustic is just as phenomenal as the original. They've, obviously, been doing some great team building retreats.....
Seria Maravilhoso um Album Acústico.
New to me but I can't stop listening their songs ❤️💖❤️💖❤️💖... Outlier album wow 💖💖💖💪💪💪 I love them 💝💓
Very pleased 12 foot were awarded a God's of Metal award. 😃👏👍. Superb work. Gratitude. 🙏😔

I can't decide if they originals are better or if these are better. The pieces work so well done both ways.
How does this not have more views? These guys are so damn talented!
I'd love these guys to play at my wedding, me and my partner discussed how they would be a great compromise for the family as we love Metal but there's also a sprinkle of Funk here and there so everyone can dance to their music and have a good time, I can definitely see my Nan having a boogie.
Hearing Luna would be the best damn thing ever
Ask them
So upset it took me so long to find them...so happy I found them at all
God I love TFN so much. I want to see them live. I NEED to see them live.
Ken you guys kick ass!! Y'all were so fucking down to earth. Our introduction to the band was a live one in little rock with nothing more. I turn around after your set and there y'all were, in the crowd, beer in hand chillin. Also our sons first heavy rock show and he feel asleep!! Y'all thought is was so cool that we brought the whole family. Fan for life dudes!!!!!!
I arrived very very late to the 12 Food Ninja party. They are utterly and crushingly fantastic. Good god.
Man I love these guys. That quintessential bass line puts a hole in the track but still listening to the remaining members perform acoustic is quite the treat.
Dear Twelve Foot Ninja,
please come back
I think these two songs are the best songs I've ever heard.
Ro. Back ups are SO ON POINT. LOVE
Of course Stevic got fancy with the green screen so he could float over everyone else.
Absolutely Totally MEGA! The music. The videos. The complete package. Just the fuckin perfect mix of collective energy. Refined acoustic versions to blow your head off metal. Then watch out! Here comes the Ninja change up! I’m still in total awe of these guys. Come on Gents! Please put your differences aside. Think it. Feel it. Do it. LETS ROCK!
Best unplugged performance ever. I would love to have an album full of those!
that acoustic version of Liberation is intensely beautiful. speaks directly to my soul
Deluge is definitely one of my all time fave Twelve Foot Ninja songs.
I am in LOVE with his voice, holy SHIT
My favorite band!!
Wow my favorite song liberation ahhhh ahhh ahhh ohhh underrated band come to chile boys
Lyrics:
-Deluge-
You rode the vibration of anger like riding the tide out to sea
You tried to find the face of salvation, but all you found was me
Now you're staring at the sword in your chest like I owe you an apology
I would never suspect that you would do this to your family, but no mercy
You're not alone
I will arise and arrive from the depth of this hole
You must atone
When i reconcile with the force at the depth of my soul I will be home
You've got nowhere left to go, i've fought through liars and lows, and it all ends now
I'm hitting you where it hurts, and this is all you deserve, and it all ends now
Oh how the tables have turned
Oh how your temples will burn
You've got nowhere left to go, you'd best prepare for the storm, and it all ends, and it all ends now
You condemn me as the devil himself in an attmept to erase my spark
But since the devil don't exist where I am, he could only be where you are
You're not alone
I will arise and arrive from the depth of this hole
You must atone
When i reconcile with the force at the depth of my soul I will be home
You've got nowhere left to go, i've fought through liars and lows, and it all ends now
I'm hitting you where it hurts, and this is all you deserve, and it all ends now
Oh how the tables have turned
Oh how your temples will burn
You've got nowhere left to go, you'd best prepare for the storm, and it all ends, and it all ends now
I have walked in to the dark so I could come to know the light
The light!
-Liberation-
Awakening
To all we were and all that we've become
Apathy
Your vain in desperation
Hail to the theif
The cavalcade of victims interfaced
To revere the hate, the orchestration
Say oh can you see the manipulation
I have a dream of liberation
Guarantees now worth the print of paper bloodstained currency
We rape our world of patience
Awakening
When we begin to face all we've allowed to be
In our name
A transmutation
Say oh can you see the manipulation
I have a dream of liberation
Say oh can you see the manipulation
I have a dream of liberation
I love this band - each performance. How they combine the power and melody so sweeet!!
As many times as I've listened to this song among every other song of theirs, they can make it sound brand new.. Damn you fellas are talented and made for eachother. All that said I need me some brand new ninja!!
These guys are so fuckin good, and they’ve been good forever...
WE ❤️ TFN!
You've been busy, aven't ya?
Busier than a cat...
Burying shit...
On concrete
We need an acoustic album! Of your tunes these are amazing.... My favorite is when you did an unplugged version of kingdom it blows me away how talented you guys are and how you're vocal harmonies with Rohan are beautiful.... You guys are my favorite band and I wish you guys could come to Canada and tour here.... Can't wait for the new album
tremendas versiones! son emocionantes😢.
i come here like 5x a day for a year, star lord can sing like hell
Their music takes me somewhere else and really opens up my imagination, they've helped me escape and get over a load of things in my life for sure. Keep up the good work guys 👍
When are they going to get a massive deal and a few mill thrown at them 🤷♂️ super talented 🦄
