I think instead of Nā they say Nō. Besides it makes more sense seeming as though nā usually means something said to the speaker in the past tense. Rather nō means from so “nō te tiriti” makes sense it translates to from the treaty. And change rātou to Mātou cause it wouldn’t make sense talking about their belongings.
@@makaibey8146 For context, I speak Hawaiian and much of the vocabulary and grammar of the two languages is nearly identical with some minor differences, however I’m fully open to being corrected on anything I’m about to say by Māori speakers regarding their language. I assume from context the song’s hook is quoting (or at least paraphrasing) the terms of the New Zealand Settlements Act of 1863, where they (rātou) is in direct reference to those considered to be in rebellion and their land. As for the nā vs nō grammatical distinction, this also exists in Hawaiian regarding alienable vs inalienable possession. It would be intuitive for a Hawaiian speaker to use the alienable class (na) instead of the inalienable class (no) in this context because the terms listed by the treaty are being produced by the treaty in a purely grammatical sense. I suspect this might also be the case in Māori, but again I am open to being corrected if this is not the case.
I'm a new zealander and never really been into Maori culture/language but this is getting me interested. And i'm really proud of these young guys. My sons young and has long hair and when i was watching them perform i just kept picturing my son. He has two metal-head parents so i bet it could happen. What an inspiration.
As a kiwi myself. Im shocked at youre ignorance towards the people and culture that make New Zealand the unique place it is. My advice to you is induldge on what is around you and i garuntee you will be so much better for it.
@@sowslaying I'm reading through all these comments and I'd like to get your perspective on this cultural exchange thing; Here in the states we dont want nonnatives into our culture because 99.9% of the time they have only superficially appropriated it for some kind of gain,then dishonor and discarded it to go back to being white,black etc mainstream Americans.I see lots of majority if not full british descent new zealanders doing haka and Maori things on UA-cam Dont you feel like this ultimately is going to displace you both ethnically then culturally?Because essentially they can dump the cultural aspects of being maori at anytime and embrace their phenotypes culture?hit me up whenever
I am a "Yakama" A Nation in Washington state. & i gotta say we went through the same shit. Love the way you guys still recognize, what still isn't Acknowledged.
I’m not Moari but what I will say is be proud of what you are and your heritage, Your. Ancestors left a legacy for you a culture rich in art and meaning that is something to be proud of.
I'm Samoan and German. I love metal and have for a long time tried to find a Polynesian metal band. This is the first one I've heard of and have listened to their music over the past week. I'm a huge fan of Amon Amarth for the fact they tap into their ancestral roots and tell stories from their folklore, history and legends in their music. I have thought that many Polynesian people's could do the same with metal. I'm glad to see it here. I will be following this band for quite awhile. Please, come to Salt Lake City, Utah sometime. We got a large Polynesian community here. Albeit not many of them are metal fans, but I think showing you guys to them will give them a reason to be. Cheers!
I'm Chuukese (Micronesian) and Japanese. I'm also a diehard metalhead! I love Amon Amarth, anything I can find Folk Metal. There's Eluveitie from Switzerland (love em too), as you say tapping into their ancestral roots, singing mostly in their extinct Gaelic dialect. Just found this band today randomly and instantly love it. I wish my islands could produce music as great as these. Tired of hearing their "baby oh baby" type of songs since time immemorial. Horns Up to you my Samoan Braddah \m/

You think the Maori, a tribe that struggled against being colonized, approve of your warmongering 'prophet' that wandered the lands, killing innocent tribes and forcing the survivors to convert to his death-cult? Yeah, right... their story has nothing in common with 'your' story. The Maori are good people, you are not. And before you ask: I couldn't care less about Israel, as well.
2017 was the year I was supposed to graduate but I dropped out if I would have known this song existed I probably would have graduated and played this song at my graduation
Brazil also have native tribes which we are proud of. "I am brave, I am strong, I am a son of the north, my song of death, warriors listen" I Juca Pirama - Gonçalves Dias
Just now I listen to this Band and I have families who are in New Zealand. I am Samoan 🇼🇸 and my family would tell us.. Fight for your right. Fight for what is yours. Not anybody else. You guys are fierce, keep up and who knows. Come to Hawaii for a brutal concert. ✊✊
I love all of their songs, but this one actually shaked me to my metal core. Literally shook me when I first listened to it and after that I didn't just love this band, it's like they awoke some kind of patriotism in me. Like I started being proud of where I come from. I am not Maori, but it woke me up and made me think. Thanks for this incredible song
solid effort boys. I can feel the mana and the wairua you have for your history, our history. showing this to everyone. looking forward to the next one! Ka Mau te Wehi!
can't say i expected to listen to maori metal today, but I'm definitely not disappointed. i very much like how i can actually hear what they're saying despite the growl even if i need the captions to know what the maori means
I can't believe I missed listening to these guys for so long. I had heard their name but never listened. Till now. These guys are in my top 5 kiwi bands now.
Incredible that they are only 14-16 years old! This metal is so powerful! I love it!!! And it's a badass way to promote such a glorious heritage! Best wishes from Germany!
Damn! I absolutely love the combination of the heavy, chugging guitar with the awesome maori lyrics!! Plus I love stuff like this that shares amazing cultures, please please please keep on making more! Much love from Scotland
Reminds me of landgrabbing and displacement of the Lumads and other indigenous peoples in the Philippines for capitalist interests - since the Spanish colonial era until today. Raupatu = Kinawat (Cebuano for "stolen") = Ninakaw (Filipino for "stolen") THEY CANNOT TAKE OUR MANA! (in Filipino understood as "inheritance" but also has the same connotations as the Maori and Hawai'ian 'mana')
I see great potential in those young guys. If they hold on and go further with experience/technical properties band will be huge. Unique language/culture gives kick to their music 🤟
I am not a metalhead in the slightest, but this track is very special. For the truth, for the plain truth. They always knew they bit too much to chew, covered with lies. The land they stole so sly. They always knew they bit too much. Too proud. Too late. The songs of lament continue to seal their fate. Shame on them. Glory to the truth, and all who stand by it.
Old school/old dude thrash head here, just wanna say, you boys are really on the right track. I don’t buy many records anymore, but I bought your album and I like it! Like it a lot!
from the nations of the Cordilleras Mountains of Luzon to the forests of Mindanao in the Philippines your fellow Austronesian neighbors salute all the Iwi of Aotearoa! Indigenous Pride!~
Wow the talent the three of you have is just something else!! I've been listening to you guys since I first heard Ru Ang Te Whenua--which is my favorite, even tho it took me like 2 weeks till I noticed I could click the cc button to get translation 😂😂 So that should tell you just how much I love your music!!! But now knowing the lyric's and meaning behind your songs, oh and I watched the Documentary about how you want to bring the Maori language back. Now I know what the meaning of this song is about and I just think you guys with your talent and heart for what you believe in is just awesomely amazing!!! 🤟🤟🖤🖤🤘🤘
Im officially an alien weaponry fan! Ive now listened to this song a hundred times and dissected what it is i love about it, shredding leads of guitar have been replaced with raw band heaviness instead! I think that is what makes it different, straight to the point. Kind of like what nirvana did to rock music, this band has done it to metal music. The changes in drumming and guitar layers and signature timing changes during the song truly awesome! I cant understand what they are saying but, the song in hearing it makes me want to know! The main riff has this megadeth vibe. Anything megadeth level now a days, unbelievable!
All My Metalhead Life I wanted to hear Metal with a Native language and you bringed it so amazing and perfect, I love it, You're in my Top Bands! Greetings from Venezuela! Son los mejores! Sigan con ese gran trabajo Maorí + Metal = Lo Máximo!
It shouldn't. It should empower you and fill you with pride that your Māori heritage is still living and breathing through people like you and this band. History is grisly and barbaric on all sides, Alien Weaponry is just telling the story through their eyes.
I love you guys after Sepultura you guys are the best roots metal music i have heard, power and love to you guys all way from Bangalore India brothers.
Compared to the haggard old leatherfaces of most metal bands, you look like children, but you shred so well no one could tell without looking. How much heavier will you sound when you hit their age?
Most metal bands you know now, have been doing it for 30+ years. Go back to their first few albums n see how YOUNG they were back then. I say MOSH ON Alien Weaponry!!! 🤘🤘
Love you guys !!! you are teaching two important lessons to this world, how to play Metal and how to respect/embrace your own heritage. Amazing !! cannot wait to see you performing!
As a "native American" these songs, these stories, they have me fired up, empowered. Cheers from your Apache cousin across the sea!!

As a Hawaiian, I agree... they cannot take our mana! I love that you are telling your story through metal!
You can take your mana back by drinking the correct potions or simply resting. It's known.
It's mostly the Tongans and Samoans that like hip hop and RnB.Maori usually like anything with a guitar. From Reggae to hard rock and metal.
