Alien Weaponry's 2018 debut album, Tū, entered the NZ album charts at Number One, has had more than a million streams on Spotify since its release and received rave reviews from cr itics and fans all over the globe.Overdrive magazine in Australia wrote, "By fusing their Māori culture within their music, Alien Weaponry offer the world of metal something completely new and special."It’s a furious album of thrash metal and Māori history. Alien Weaponry, of Ngati Pikiāo and Ngati Raukawa ancestry, create a refreshing and insightful perspective to their lineage, highlighting the darker aspects of their culture in their songwriting with a strong tribal presence. Driving riffs echo the pounding footsteps of a war party in Kai Tangata, an emotionally layered vocal range laces the very political Nobody Here, while Raupatu runs with a trash-heavy riff and a meaty bass line that destroys all the other tracks as the album’s most brutal song.All up, Alien Weaponry paint a detailed picture of tradition, pride and cultural importance that is as educational as it is enjoyable, proving that heavy metal is in good hands as the next generation step out to dominate.
