ALIEN WEAPONRY - Tangaroa (Official Video) | Napalm Records

Who thought metal was dead? I don't think any genre can truly die because there are always people who listen and produce them.

I like those bands but their message means nothing. It's not like anyone actually cares whether they sing about rainforests, tits, or culture. Means nothing.

Tangaroa (Takaroa in the South Island) is the great atua of the sea, lakes, rivers, and creatures that live within them, especially fish, in Māori mythology. As Tangaroa-whakamau-tai he exercises control over the tides. He is sometimes depicted as a whale.
