The good thing about music is that you don't need to understand the lyrics to feel the intensity of the instrumentals and the emotion of the vocals.
One of the things I really enjoy about vocals in a language I don't understand is that I think it helps to appreciate the voice more as a pure instrument without all that pesky parsing of words getting in the way. As you said, it cuts right to the emotion and intensity of the song, and what a fine example of that this is!
You got it right there
Very true, I started listening to some Japanese bands, and idk what they say but damn are they grooves, and have so many cool vocal hooks. Need more bands to do things like this.
Great experiencing Great music. Super band. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
English translations are in the description if you are interested
I was not looking for a Maori/Polynesian band today, but I'm glad I found it.
chatGPT told me this is supposedly Samoan and not Maori. I got to see a translation in Maori and it would've sounded way harder.
Try Alien Weaponry if you want Maori
@@irishjoed those guys are awesome.
Dope. Sometimes the algorythms reveals real gems on UA-cam.
My thoughts exactly. Damned do I love Folk Metal
Metal music bringing the world together!!
You won't believe but right now I'm attending my very first pop concert in my life (a favor to my teenage daughter) and I stand here in the corner with earplugs and listen to this track to get good vibes 😬🤘🏼
That's hilarious. I love you for that haha
That's BEAUTIFUL!
Thanks for sharing
What concert if you don't mind me asking? I don't really listen to metal much anymore, but this caught my attention and I'm glad it did. Reminds me of Fair To Midland a little bit, but more metal. I'm more of a Steely Dan guy in my 40's ;) But I can appreciate the passion and talent that went into this song. It's beautiful.
@@enjoybrad81 to be honest, I don't want to tell, as I don't wanna discredit the artist, as it's just a matter of taste. It's not their fault that I prefer listening to metal and only accompanied my daughter to a pop concert. The supporting act was really boring to me, so I kept listening to Shepherds Reign, but the main artist was really good, even if it wasn't my preferred music style ☺️

Sometimes youtube's algorithm works and I find a new gem ❤ 🤘
Isn't that the truth. That is exactly what happened to me. I'm here now and frikin' loving this!
Sim.. ele me mandou sound of the bell (orbit culture* uma cacetada!!
Thank you, UA-cam Gods for putting this front and center on my page. While I have absolutely NO idea what's being said I'm good with that. That's the beauty of music. Words aren't required. You can feel every word of this song and it's intense. I love hearing music like this from other parts of the world outside of the US and Europe
❤
And apparently the lyrics are about family and respect. Which just makes it even better.
Just in time for Samoan Language week! Manuia le vaiaso ole Gagana Samoa! Mālo le tauivi ma le taumafai Shepherds Reign! CHEEEEEAAAAAHUUUUUU!!!!!
CHEEEAAAAAHUUU!!!!
I can't understand the lyrics, but I can feel the energy.
Samoan language combines perfectly with Metal.
Greetings from Brazil, samoan brothers 👊💪
Read the description... you will be pleasantly surprised
@@NighthawkNZ Thanks bro🤝
Акуна-Матата, пацаны!!

Реально топ комент года)))

Growing up in the United States, born in Hawaii, I didn't grow up with my other 6 siblings nor raised by my parents. My grandparents took me to Oklahoman when I was 6 months old. I became a Metalhead at the age of 10 in 1987. I got my first 🎸 when I was 12. Started my first band in December 1993 when I was in high school (9th grade). Jammed in Metal bands for 25 years until July 2018. Got to open for some Big Bands when they came through Oklahoma City over the years. Some of the funniest times in my life playing in metal bands over the years that I will always cherish. And it makes me really happy to see fellow Usos in the South Pacific melting faces and representing our culture. 🇦🇸🇼🇸 You guys make me very proud. CHEEEEHOOOOOO!!!! 🤘🏾🤘🏾
Much respect uso!
As a 44 year old white dude I don't even know what they're saying but this band rocks harder than anything I've heard would pay very good money to see a concert
I’m 11 years your senior and I’m just as pleasantly confused as you
Dude I'd Walk into battlefield again listening to this.
I'm 65
Мне 52, я женщина из России, и эта группа мне нравится😁 Моя подруга, с которой я поделилась клипом (ей 50), написала мне, что музыка - огонь, а вокалист - красавчик))
@dalemoore435 and will run away, as soon as it stops...... 😂
Rhythmic masterclass from far away
This is how music is supposed to be. You don't need to understand the language to understand the music! But Samoan is made for metal!
What's wild is how absolutely uplifting these lyrics are.
I love how these guys sound like they're about to rip someone's spine out of their throat yet their song lyrics are incredibly wholesome anthems about family and respect.
Sooooooo good! What is better than a taste of a beautiful culture wrapped in an amazing sound!
This song is the personification of beauty and strength
A mystical fusion of tribal and metal !
Wow, YT finally recommended something good. This sounds incredible! Going in my workout playlist immediately.
We are here with you. The Undefeated. A Globe far away.
You Men Rock!!!
Awesome! 🔥👊🏻👊🏻🔥
I would like to formally welcome this song to the workout playlist
Awesome song guys, absolutely love the riff's in this song 🤘🤘
This band is going to break the scene for sure, pure talent 💪💪💪
Them and Alien Weaponry need to tour together
Much love from Solomon islands 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽💯🖤🏝️
🤘 Thanks UA-cam for the algorithm, that's exactly what I need, great great music 🤘
New Shepard's reign?!?! LETS FUCKIN GOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Been waiting for a new release myself: Epic Band!! 🤘🤘🤘
This is on their album from last year! Check it out
This song is a real beast!
Superb video for a superb track. The combination of the low guitars with the traditional percussion is absolutely superb, and paired with the band's impeccable melodic sense it's an absolute winner.
Я слушаю эту композицию уже в сотый раз... Это гениально!
Samoan metal ... wow ... this is out of this world. Don't understand the language though the sound is familiar and that's what matters.
Cheers from Papua New Guinea.
Im just blown awaw....

I was counting the days for the video to come out. Ala Mai is my favorite song of the album and my most played song in Spotify by a long shot. I'm really glad you made such a cool video for it and I hope more and more people find your music. Thanks you so much for including the lyrics in the description. Now that I better understand the meaning of the song, my love for it grew even more. Greetings from Basque Country!!

We love you too! Thanks for the support!
The algorithm blessed me with this awesomeness today! What a banger💪🏻🔥
Aaaand here's one for my running-playlist
Hey you guys are great!
My new favorite SR song. This is so rad. It's already heavy, but adding all that percussion just makes it crushing. I love it.
wow, i love bad ass metal...this is very cool
Representing NZ metal with such an infectious groove! From Trinidad & Tobago 🇹🇹 Respect 👊🏼
Well this is a bit of AWESOME!!!
Great song and nice variety in vocal techniques. Love the musical nod to Meshuggah's Bleed.
Ну скорее Sepultura. Но такая на минималках.! Но в общем, отличный трэк. 👍
HEAVY ALOHA!🤘😎🤙
This song is pure badassery. No other words can describe my feelings on this song.
Oh, damn .... it sinks into your blood ... then pounds into your heart 🤘
🤘😤🤘
And yet another banger ❤ The boyz always deliver !

Meshuggah Bleed 🔥🙈
Very good production, blends everything together perfectly...
Never thought I'd feel empowered by what is effectively Viking Metal. 🤙🤙🤙
A great way to start the day!!!! Only listening to yous recently but so glad I found yous...I know I don't understand either but those "T's"....
The mix is sucking all the energy out of the track!
Beyond Beautiful!
Never heard of this band ever .. i will be a fan from now on
Its the Polynesian version of SOULFLY and im all for it .
Much respect from 🇺🇲
Digging all of these bands coming out of New Zealand
🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿💣💣
One of the best things about Sheperds Reign's budget is that they're their own security... Keep up the good work, my usos. Alofa tele from Washington.
Great song. You guys really blipped on my radar. Greetings and blessings from Germany.
That’s beautiful, the way they share their culture through music is amazing. Don’t know the lyrics but I can feel like he is telling us a story about their ancestors like the old times when we gather upon the fire. And that’s it absolutely fire 🔥
EDIT: I just read the lyrics in English and I was right!!!! That’s the power of music!
Excellent 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Samoa language works In metal just like finnish Or japan. Awesome band and video👊 cheers 🍻 from finland🇫🇮
That is the wonder you can have with lgs that have relatively straightforward open syllables, so in Samoan, there are *no* consonant-final syllables (whereas Japanese has -N and Finnish can have final alveolar consonants /t, s, n, l, r/).
BTW, I used to joke that in a parallel universe, Finnish and Estonian are spoken by folks who for some reason escaped from Samoa (I mean, Suomi vs. Sāmoa? Yeah.), and during their journey, they smashed their words into multisyllabic behemoths (as Samoan has mostly analytical/isolating morphosyntax).
perfect, I just love it! It reminds me of the early Sepultura - Soulfy period. Finally a quality metal!!!! Good luck and stay tuned for the new songs! Welcome from Hungary!
It’s been said many a time before, but every so often the almighty/all knowing and all powerful algorithm just gets it exactly right……exactly what you want without knowing it and that it is exactly what was needed to fill a void inside your soul!!!
HEAR HEAR!!! 💪💀💪
What a twist ...great !
I remember my first time listening to Sepultura. It took me to a different place and helped me understand things about a country I had never been to.
You guys will be compared to them..but in my opinion you guys are much more talented overall.
Much love from India. I hope Auckland isn't as boring as I remember 20 years ago. 😝
❤
Love it 😎❤
Great! Guys thank you for awesome music 🎶
This is some badass clash of the titans radical heavy mental metal. Freakin aweesome vocals.
