      I had a teacher once tell me, "Metal always seems to be dying, and then it comes back." I think we're on another wave of Metal: It's more diverse than ever, it's more globally connected, and it's fucking exciting for metal fans to see so much creativity happening.

      We came over here because we are a natural explorer and fighting race, that's why we conquered you because we were better at fighting than you.
      The same argument could be used against Maori, why didn't you stay on this shitty little island instead of sailing off and conquering the Moriori? Because that's what people do, they conquer other people whenever they can, don't be mad just because we were better at conquering and fighting than the maori were.

      Maximus hey jit bag...read a book. Polynesians settled there in 1200's followed by Dutch in 1600's. British didn't come in until later. And if you're so good at fighting, than how did a bunch of American colonist rebels kick your asses back across the ocean in 1776?

      Just because maori settled in NZ doesn't mean they built anything, you built grass huts and Pa's and fought with each other and enslaved each other all the time.
      No need to be so mad just because Europeans are better fighters than Maori. Our homeland was literally on the other side of the world and we still managed to kick your guys ass and conquer your land which we then built a country on.

    This song is about the Maori defeating the British at the Battle of Gate Pa in 1864 but How? The Maori learnt early on that guns were effective so bought them from traders, they used double barrelled shot guns at close range from trenches when the British stormed their Pa (fortress) the Maori traditional weapons were also lethal at this range as muskets took too long to reload. The British and Maori had a mutual respect for each other after that battle.

    My dad is over 80 years old, but when he was a younger man, he lived in New Zealand in the mid 1950's and late 1960's teaching high school. He learned some Te Reo Maori, and later on, as a math teacher in the US, he would start out each school year with a ground-shaking haka for his students.
    One of the first things I did when I heard this song was show it to him and my mom. It brought tears to his eyes! He loved that it sounded to him like a traditional Maori haka. Well done @Alien Weaponry!

    My brother got into this band a while ago, and was so hyped when me & him saw them support Gojira in London the other night. At the start of this song, he absolutely roared back the call & response of "WHAKARONGO MAI RÃ!" and made the people in front of him jump out of their skin!

The music and the energy is understandable in any language. Its awesome to see the ancient warrior spirit of the Maori reflected in some of the best metal music Ive heard in quite some time. Thank you Alien Weaponry, thank you very much
