I've never been more proud to be from Aotearoa than when I saw a huge crowd of metal fans, from all around the world, going crazy to Alien Weaponry at Wacken. Their music is a glorious expression of both their whakapapa Māori and their European ancestry. The music video for Raupatu is right up there with the video to Right in Two by Tool, as one of the most deeply affecting piece of audio-visual art I've ever seen:

Gig Review: Gojira / Alien Weaponry / Employed to Serve – Alexandra Palace, London (Feb 22nd 2023)
Two years ago this gig was scheduled to be on on a Saturday and I was looking forward to getting down to Ally Pally nice and early and chilling out before the show. Thanks to Covid I found

I started #JukeboxFridayNight with a song in te Reo Māori, so I think it’s fitting to conclude my song offerings with it too. #AlienWeaponry

It's Metal Tuesday!
Well it is because why not?
Sharing the music and video of Aotearoan (New Zealan) band Alien Weaponry.
Love this track for several reasons.
Firstly it's an absolute banger - the riffs are crunchy and powerful. If you're a fan of Sepultura, Gojira, The Hu or even Metallica then this will speak to you.
Secondly it's an amazing piece of story telling: visually, sonically and narratively.
Showcases the breadth, depth and variety of global metal. The lyrics are sung in in these lads native Māori.
Metal transcends borders, and has been taken up by peoples across the world. It connects us : it has the flexibility to be reshaped and made into something new. It's why I continue to love the genre.
If you ever get the chance to see 'em live, you won't be disappointed.
Just watch, and I mean YOU MUST watch, these incredible vidya:

Alien Weaponry, 'Raupatu' *:

* Note for international readers: Raupatu is a word in Te Reo Māori - the first language of Aotearoa - for the mass confiscations of land from its traditional owners by the settler colony of New Zealand.
