It's such a cool effect..bands that invoke that ancient war culture that so many cultures have had through history just carry that mystique...amon amarth does that so well too..as someone with direct Scandinavian blood and can trace my family like back to a viking king that sit hits me deep lmao.
Zack L btw I’m not saying you don’t. I also have Scandinavian heritage, but historically it’s hard to prove any directly lineages based on Viking history.
@Bello Gubbai you do know they are Maori? Go watch some stuff about them. They are honoring their culture in the best way they feel fit. They are talented musicians, they have a clear love of their Maori history. Just look at the passion they play with
"This generation doesn't how how to metal..." bruh. These dudes are thrashing like Slayer back in the day, and they're still in school. The fact that they're crushing it and adding in Maori language and stories to their music is fantastic.
Rather than the lyrics are a big part of a song. And if u dont speak the language it's hard to relate or get that into it. But yes it's very Sepultura/Pantera style riffs.
@Sock Account HAHAHAH same thing over again, people in 80s talk shit about how Metallica, Slayer, Venom plays bullshit metal while the dominant bands are maiden and priest, but a few years later those 3 bands became metal icons bro
@Sock Account Bruh look at metal scene now you won't get any original shit unless you check the underground shit the obscure technical and wildly unheard of or more so ORIGINAL stuff. And basically you said it's like a sin if riffs are copied and you decided to sound like your influences that's normal in my book bro
@Sock Account Bro there are great shit both underground and mainstream you just gotta look a little more deeper there's a fuckton of albums songs and billion great shit out and I sometimes agree that these albums are better than the old classics and that's no joke
@Sock Account You mean this band I think their good but they offer the same groove metal style but I personally think they are more focused on image rather the music side, and bro they are great shit out there I can name a fuckton of them, just look at sepultura's current album that came out last week or so it's the greatest shit I've heard in years maybe the old bands pumping out new and sexy shit would at least enlighten you
As far as the treatment they have recieved from thier govern ment USA for American Indians British For new Zealand they certainly have a kinship with past and still today as the guys in AW have stated hopefully these misdeeds will not be forgotten AW is making sure it's not . voice for the Voiceless sound familiar .

Normally that shit drives me nuts but I also know the words and sing them often to my neigbs so I get this like one hundred percent emoji worth STAY ANGRY MY FRIENDS
What I love about this young band is they're honest, gritty, paying homage to their Maori forebears unironically, are metal af, AND pack tight three part harmonies. I'm reminded not only of Sepultura but of Crowded House. Keep going.
the problem is they dont have the speed of oldschool sepultura, theyre like if you combined the shitty sepultura that doesnt have Max and Igor with lamb of god.
I cant believe this band has no promotion in New Zealand, just seen them live in a Tauranga small club, as good a live metal band as some of the greats. They should be massive!
Mindblowing!!! 42 year old woman here, always been a metal head and these lads have gave me hope for the future of metal! I'd almost given up, their overwhelming respect for the Maori culture and language is breathtaking! My generation could learn a lot from these guys! This is how it's done!
29:17 "Dear Mr Headteacher... please excuse Timmy from school today as we are taking him on a fully immersive day of culture and history." That's parenting done right there!
Been listening to these guys for almost a year now and every new song I find is just as good as the last. they are becoming one of my new favorite bands!
Yeah they're fantastic. Saw them live in Canada last month opening for black label society. Fucking sick guys, talked to the lead guitarist for a couple minutes and helped him get to his merch booth lol.
@@funtycase2043 No he said "they look like they'd be lucky" ... Which is not the same thing as " they'd be lucky"... And frankly he's not wrong, they do look like there was a lot of milk spilt into that blood. I thought they were pakeha when I first saw them. I'm not sure why someone saying they look like skinny white boys should offend you. Especially since that is exactly what they do look like.
@Bello Gubbai bro. Tf is your issue? Whether you like them or not, they have Maori blood in them. You gonna go tell his dad that he's created fake Maori's? The Maori language and history was literally on it's way to being forgotten and pushed a side. These "kids" decided they wanted to help shine a light on it and fuck heads like you try to destroy the good they are accomplishing. Who knows, in 10 years maori culture will actually be celebrated and looked up to thanks to kids like this instead of forgotten forever.
That was quite an experience. Their music may be simpler and more brutal than much of what I tend to listen to, but they do all the right things in impeccable timing to be very effective. I think this kind of music provides a needed catharsis and counterbalance to modern life and society.
You don’t have to be so technical. You don’t have to exaggerate on your drumming pattern to sound good. These guys keep it simple but man it sounds heavy and brutal. I fuck with this big time 🤘🏽I’m nonstop head banging
I told myself “hey. Let’s listen to alien weaponry live while I get stuff done.” I haven’t gotten on e thing done cos I can’t stop looking. Or zoning out with their sound... can anybody relate?
That is the definition of Thrash or Stoner Metal!! it's meant for you to just zone out and relax, or make you want to get up and thrash, its' like smoking a joint it's effects us all differently but makes us all feel the same!!
I think these guys could be fucking huge if they stick to what they know. The mix of metal with Maori culture goes hand in hand seamlessly like it was meant to be. For a three piece band they sound like there's a lot more of them they're ready heavy ,they're still only young and already have a big stage presence.
I love how raw this is...no backing tracks, no fake shit, just three guys on stage performing raw music. Is it perfect? Of course not. But that's what makes it so good!!
I just discovered these guys today on one of the Sirius XM stations and thought that I better check them out on UA-cam and I’m not disappointed at all.
Watched it again! I have come to the conclusion that this is in my top three Download sets ever! For a three piece they are killing it☠️ and are destined for greatness. So, don’t stop and you guys do your culture and country proud!!
So proud of these guys, I met them when they won battle of the bands in NZ, when they were young teens. They have done NZ a great honor with sharing our heritage and culture in their music. Im so stoked to be able to have shared the stage with them to now watch them on youtube doing NZ proud.
Absolutely *cracking* performance. You can see me having a smashing time (whilst looking mildly perplexed) at 18:46. The future of Alien Weaponry is unlimited!
So many great things going on here: Exceptional song writing, tight playing, simplicity, great guitar tone, and a tremendous mix that makes them sound monstrous. This is refreshing to put it lightly.
ALien Weaponry is a New Zealand band, as a proud kiwi of this country it's good to see our country get recognized world wide with music, absolute beast!
Genius level writing and playing. They have no weakness I can identify thus far. They don't even need solos with that groooooooooove. Dime would fucking love these guys.
AF-AF Tech Wouldn't mind some Dime-Esq Solo's on future Albums though !! Pantera my Fav ... Alien Weaponry could be 1 of the Biggest Metal bands in 5-10 years !! Proud ✊ I can say they are from My Country New Zealand 🤘👏👽🙂
Jesus. I'm 47 and an old fogey but love these guys. Was only going to watch one song and stayed till the end. I'm into bloody hippy music too! Love them. Fucken great! Adding Maori into it is bloody powerful, and talking about history. Count me in as a new fan!
Absolutely love this band, the live videos have been nothing short of a great display of old heads and newbies coming together to support these dudes! Very genuine sound and the metal community seems to have welcomed you with open arms! Breath of fresh air along with Jinjer!
Tell me metal is not one of the most powerful tools on the planet. An artform, cultural ambassador, history teacher, psychologist and uniter. It’s a cure all. ❤
These guys are living their best lives. Not only playing music they love and entertaining us all, they are keeping their native language alive and in hopes it won't be forgotten. Hopefully see you in Perth sometime soon.
Had this band on the backup list for quite a while and without any reason other than I heard the name. Now, seeing this, I know why. This is really good...
@Bye Krikey how sad is your life that you have nothing better to do than comment ignorantly and incorrectly in the comments of a band you supposedly hate? Do you really have nothing to do between bringing the snack tray to tyron while he's plowing your wife?
2019 saw these guys just crushing it and the momentum was strong. I do wonder where they'd have gone had COVID not hit the following year and shut the world down. The energy that the fans and crowds put towards these youngsters was awesome and just a testament to the metal community as a whole! Doesn't have to be the most technical, but if it's from the heart, and it hits, we accept it!
I just found them an hour ago by accident.... DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM! I'm hook, line, and sinkered....they ever come close to where I can get there.... I'm fuqng there😱😱😱😱😱😱
As an old bastard of a Metalhead I’m glad to see young bands like this that really can kick ass and really entertain and get the crowds blood up, These guys are going to do so well and pack out huge venues worldwide, To any Maori on this post I say Kia Ora! And Rock on! 🤘🏻
You guys are SICK. Wicked name, insane music, you have your thing and it's really original and you SMASH it! It's so weird the way you sound so perfect live. This live show has made me very happy!
These dudes are living every teenage metalheads dream
No, these teens are passing on their ancestors heritage the best way they found!

Or Tom Araya unfortunately.
Stole my comment I see
Hopefully he doesn’t end up with a spinal injury like half the guys in Slipknot

@Horror From Below Okay homie
Horror From Below ok boomer
MOST Kiwis are cool people.
Went to a show in Germany when they opened for Anthrax and Slayer And didn’t expect much at first until I was blown away by Kai Tangata
So true, these three guys made Anthrax look like a support band, as much as I love them
Bassist looks like a big cannibal corpse fan.
All about camoo shorts.
With the Spector basses? Aha
or pantera tbf
Yes, and his damn tone reminds me of the living legend Alex Webster, pure sick.
Even wit the corpsegrinder windmill
The vocal harmonies in the chorus of Kai Tangata give me chills every time
When I first heard it, some reason I thought of Vampires 😂❤
Love the drummer rocking the Navajo Nation Metal Fest t-shirt, indigenous populations solidarity
I support that. All Indigenous in the world.❤
Alien Weaponry will be one of the legends of Gen Z. It's hard to believe such an amazing band is so young.
The bastard offspring of sepultura and crowded house lol
When I was that age I could never have afforded that kind of riggin... Hell I could barely afford drugs... AND I SOLD DRUGS.
"It's hard to believe such a _____ is so young." Get used to saying that for everything that comes from Gen Z!

Pretty easy to play bass
Ethan tremball. He left though, and was replaced by a native Maori bassist and he is even more metal than Ethan, but Ethan's presence is fantastic.

Give em a little more time they’ll be playing Saturday night instead of morning.
These young men are a hybrid or Sepultura and Lamb of God. They are the new gods of thunder!
They once called themselves thrash without the widdly solos and I love that

They don't really remind me of Lamb of God. Definitely not fast enough.
I don't know why, I have to think on Motorhead when I hear them... probably just their setup

2019 saw these guys just crushing it and the momentum was strong. I do wonder where they'd have gone had COVID not hit the following year and shut the world down. The energy that the fans and crowds put towards these youngsters was awesome and just a testament to the metal community as a whole! Doesn't have to be the most technical, but if it's from the heart, and it hits, we accept it!
Wow. What SAVAGE fucking set. So glad I found this band out yesterday.
im on the same trip today lol
I just found them an hour ago by accident.... DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM! I'm hook, line, and sinkered....they ever come close to where I can get there.... I'm fuqng there😱😱😱😱😱😱
As an old bastard of a Metalhead I’m glad to see young bands like this that really can kick ass and really entertain and get the crowds blood up, These guys are going to do so well and pack out huge venues worldwide, To any Maori on this post I say Kia Ora! And Rock on! 🤘🏻
got goosebumps watching this. maybe the best thing to happen to metal in my lifetime. these kids are the real deal.
HOLY SHIT, why am I only just hearing about you guys for the 1st time FAAAAAARK YEAH I’m an instant fan 🤘😝🤘 YIIEEEEEEEW
THE FUTURE OF METAL!!!
That's doubtful. They're good, but nothing they're doing is particularly innovative or new.
Yeah not really feeling that future then LMFAO I can actually understand what they're saying 🤦♂️ lol

@Bello Gubbai You say it like metal's gonna die next week bro
You guys are SICK. Wicked name, insane music, you have your thing and it's really original and you SMASH it! It's so weird the way you sound so perfect live. This live show has made me very happy!
They just came to scene and looks like they've already taken over!
Yeah boys making our people proud ❤❤
Also didn't realise how much our language fits right with heavy metal 🙌
These guys are hands down the future of metal.
The band I was looking forward to the most this year. Didn't disappoint 🤘
Seriously, it takes so much skill to play and headbang at the same time! Respect!!
This band really trips me out!! I am very impressed!! Alien weaponry is amazing!!
Just got into this band. They sound so good live. It’s freaken awesome. Bought the new album on vinyl !
Love how the drummer is wearing a Navajo Nation metal fest shirt. Thats awesome
