If the metal intro is not your thing, perhaps you&#8217;ll groove on the Cuban lounge vibe it kicks into at about the :37 second mark&#8230; or maybe the 70&#8217;s dance jam that follows that&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Twelve Foot Ninja - COMING FOR YOU (Official Video)\" width=\"1290\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-ST85Sui43Q?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This was the second single off of the album, &#8220;Silent Machine&#8221;. A remarkable album not just for it&#8217;s juxtaposed jungle of musical genres, but that it also came with a full comic book for each song on the album. Drawn by\u00a0Keith Draws, it was inspired by the lyrics and based on the original fable of <i>Twelve Foot Ninja<\/i> (co-written by Steve &#8220;Stevic&#8221; Mackay, who is also the bands guitarist), the complete collection has been gathered into a 72 page book.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.modernfix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/12fncomic.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-29040\" src=\"http:\/\/www.modernfix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/12fncomic.jpg\" alt=\"12fncomic\" width=\"300\" height=\"464\" title=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The first song released was, &#8216;Mother Sky&#8217;.
