I'm waiting for a Mapuche metal band, dude (or girl... I don't know)... The warrrior native tribe of Chile... The only american (the continent) tribe that has endured until today the European conquest.

[@OpreRoma]

Romani/Minceíri here, anyone wants to make a band for either those groups, I can be rather loud and I'm not afraid to look stupid, make me you absolutely terrible unclean vocalist

Exactly I wouldve been thrashing my head 🤣🤣🤣

[@IAM-kc5ov]

Agreeed!!!! I wouldn’t even be able to stay seated while this song played. Blardy hell ....

[@shiftleft]

Great performance. Weird to be playing thrash in front of seat and tabled audience. That's award ceremonies for ya!

[@jeremycarnes1991]

This isn't even close to thrash.

[@susanrachel3478]

It's fucking nu metal. Fair play If you dig it. But let's not pretend

[@Satsujinki1973]

@@reubenchadwick I didn't know Sepultura was nu metal, because that's who everyone is comparing them to.

As a 38 year old Aussie metal head, I am so proud of you 3 lads from 'across the ditch', the future of heavy metal is in safe hands. Love what you're doing !!!

Great to see such supportive comments across the sea. I too share the same sentiments. Keep up the passion Alien Weaponry. You remind me very much of young Sepultura. Never lose sight of where you come from

[@MrMmnngghh]

@Truckin Ronny Congratulations! You have earned your Fuckwit Certificate with an A* grade, and you didn't even have to sit an exam!

[@davesuneyes]

Are these guys for real??? I am shocked these dudes are THE SAME AS IN THE ALBUM! Future of metal=Safe Hands.

[@jacqueslerocques]

i know right they could've gotten up to at least support them.... I would've

[@joathescientist]

It is amazing how different Kiwis are from Aussies. Kiwis embrace the native culture, while Aussies despise the aboriginal culture. You guys embrace it and you blended with it, creating this powerful band!! congratulations! I am a new fan !

Found the Kiwi talking mad shit about Australia again...

[@alejomanfra6706]

couldn't have said it better. I had the same thought when I heard this. Maori just goes with metal

Sepultura was my first real 'heavy metal' band. I still listen to them, love their power. These young guys are great!

Band was in germany this year played wacken. they are returning next year also

[@Krappman]

50 y/o Swedish metalhead here. I'm so happy I stumbled on to you guys. Maori hakas makes metal more metal. Effin amazing. Also, I find your whole sound refreshing in a genre where everyone else is copying each other. Truly unique!

[@djToniTontonNewZealand]

it sure is unique -awesomely cool, wish I was 18 again, glad a metal band took the rock award that's Maori. For such young kids they do us proud, im over 50, love it so seems a lot of over 50s , Afterall was it our generation that fulled concerts halls and gigs? , gosh been to so many since I was a teen.

[@djToniTontonNewZealand]

nga whakahakatanga , plural is not an s like pakeha English, People misinterpret the whole meaning of Te Haka. Awe ka pai < Max, those who embrace Maori shall be embraced, piki te ora, piki te kaha piki te maramatanga , piki te mataurangatanga , piki te manawanuitanga pikimai , kake mai, tino pai bro, ignorant bliss, arohanui not his fault

[@Krappman]

@@maxotto9877 what does wat mean? I'm Swedish ffs. If I don't have a full grasp of Maori language and culture (nor perfect English), so you ought to give me a little slack. Why are you pissing down my neck for liking these guys? Are you just a fucking troll?

[@SOULFLYCAVALARA]

They sound like 90's sepultura to me minus the clean vocals and I love it!

[@Lowlander-ci7is]

Yep there pretty awesome, try Polaris, another great band :-)

[@diecast4556]

They really do..i got that 90’s sepultura vibe when i first heard them..fucking awesome! Wish they had another guitarist that would be sick!!!

[@encikabe]

Greeting from Malaysia.. Metal in Te Reo Maori. Impressive 👍

[@whosthat7967]

Saw them live last night. Amazing show here in Gallup New Mexico. Navajo Nation to New Zealand.

[@WCDL]

Damn dude I had no idea they came to NM. Hopefully I can catch them next time.

[@jopesanvieira]

As a Brazilian myself, I'm proud when I read ppl comparing Sepultura's early and this. Sepultura had the same view: "bring the Brazilian culture mix to thrash metal scene". It's a shame that they didn't stick to that view. This 20 something trio have so much power, and my hopes are high on them. The metal is strong on that band.

[@beariath]

New Zealand’s answer to sepultura/soulfly! Absolutely tremendous lads! Love from Scotland!!

[@PjotrGiling]

Little shorter that it should be, but this song brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it no matter what version you guys play! Stay heavy, stay metal but most of all... stay yourselves!

[@GetFKNBeaned]

Pjotr Giling I noticed the shortness of the song too, still F*ing Rocks 🤘

[@Smackskull]

The full version is much longer

[@thecongenital3035]

The performance was for the Vodafone awards so they have a time limit ...pity but the crowd loved it 😊

[@punkandmetalheadandmywifea3140]

Great performance, show these suit and tie people what proper music 🤘

[@gabrielathero]

Saw them in Wacken this year and had a little chat with them. Absolute killer show! So young and already so successful.

[@Jeeiff]

I remember telling someone in the music industry 10 years ago that NZ should export more of it's Maori culture through modern music, metal specifically. I was laughed out of the room.

[@alphiedane]

Grimmace it's all because of you

[@darklittlepeople]

@@alphiedane 😂

[@Jeeiff]

@son vult Fringe in NZ...like metal everywhere....maybe more so in NZ. haha. And in accords with our "tall poppy" principles, we will ignore them no matter how big they get overseas. (Hopefully they take a page from Lorde's management...get out fast, go big over there somewhere before we beat you down)

[@kulak166]

@son vult pretty big apparently they're already noticed and selling records

[@jason101588]

They’re coming to Toronto on May 17 in a small club of about 500 people. I haven’t bought my ticket yet, but I will soon. Only reason that I didn’t buy it is that may 17 is the 5th birthday of my nephew and wanted to be sure that I’d be able to attend his birthday party. But it looks like my family and I celebrate it on another day so I will be able to see alien weaponry.

So nice, for a change, to hear a really heavy metal band who kicks ass and who also has a real singer! So refreshing! I thought I’d never hear any newer metal band again who SING! Bravo to you guys!!! You sound great!

I hope these guys keep faithful to what they are doing right now, because is absolutely amazing! It would be hard for me to keep steady and quiet at the table..

[@toxik_cereal]

Hello Young Brothers of Metal! Watching this video had me pumped!!! While the audience was slow to respond initially, you certainly had a great response on the close of your song. A room full of, "round table" guests usually has a level of importance and You Guys made a great impact on them according to the rise of cheer that was recorded. Very much a great performance Guys! Well done!!! With that said... Moving forward... While the opulence of the event was encouraging, remember that You are not writing music to please those, "round table" monoliths! You are writing because you have a great deal to say and share!!! THAT IS what made you recognized! Even before You were, "recognized". Stay true to Yourself guys! Alien Weaponry Forever!!! (I can't forget about the, "Almighty Johnsons" thought!!! LOL!).

[@muctruc]

Much respect to these guys and the support they have received from their Maori community is apparent.
