Holy hell, brotha, didn’t know you hadn’t heard of these guys! This song was written in their TEENAGE years! Definitely had some Maori chant vibes, they are Maori from New Zealand. Their newer tracks have definitely progressed. I’d highly recommend Holding My Breath, Buried Underground, or Hatupatu to get you started. Here’s how I describe Alien Weaponry - if the Boogie Man had nursery rhymes to put him to sleep, this is the sound it would be. Great reaction & analysis.

[@SeanStaxxMusic]

Hahaha great description. Very accurate 😂

[@daimyoj9266]

Kai=food Tangata=people. The title refers to ritual cannibalism which occurred during times of war. It was used to attack your opponents "Mana" (authority/honour/pride/power). Eating your enemy was a sign of huge disrespect for his Mana. Thank you for the reaction.🔥🖤

[@ninakiewiet]

I knew that there was cannibalism in the Maori past but didn’t knew when and how now I do Thanxs for sharing this information

[@daimyoj9266]

@@ninakiewiet no worries... It happened up until about the mid 1800's.

[@SeanStaxxMusic]

Omg thats brutal! Thank you for the info 🙏

[@veemack6980]

Hi :-) an Aussie here :-). I just found Alien Weaponry today on Spotify!. I have looked up every last song now and reaction on KZbin. I'm a huge metalhead but haven't found something so close to home apart from Northland that I have loved. But Alien Weaponry is now my fave metal band!.

[@johntepu]

​@@ninakiewietcorrect, ritualistic cannibalism existed, the "key word" is enemies NOT friends. Alien vs Traditional Weaponry, great play on words. Tumatauenga, phonetically to-mah-toe-eng-a is the cultural deity of Man and War. Great, combination of cultures, NZ are stil world leaders regarding cultural awareness, understanding and practice. It's definitely metal like Organized or Disciplined CHAOS!!

[@PeoplecallmeLucifer]

welcome to the world of Folk metal We have everything from throat singing (the Hu) to African traditional music (Arka'N) mixed with metal ... also Harps and flutes sometime (Eluveitie)

[@SeanStaxxMusic]

It’s so cool and diverse!

[@PeoplecallmeLucifer]

@@SeanStaxxMusic That's why I love it. I know bands fopm all over the place India, Poland, Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia (Honestly Al namrood is the most metal band ever becausenot even a potential death penalty stops them from palying)

[@caseyrogers573]

It’s the Māori, the language of indigenous people of New Zealand

[@ninakiewiet]

This is a New Zealand band they sing English too but mostly Maori to keep the language alive happy you got to them and hope you liked it the live version of this on is awesome too at the Vodafone awards one is headbanging so long respect for that and there is one song from them that’s subtitled ru Ana te whenua they are actually in the states now opening for goijara they had a headliner gig In Houston thing last week I believe I don’t really know the background of this song but can ask someone You meant the haka from the all blacks

[@SeanStaxxMusic]

That’s so awesome that they’re keeping that culture alive and bringing attention to it! Oh wow, they play in the states? Very cool

[@ninakiewiet]

@@SeanStaxxMusic yeah they were in Houston already so you missed them and am I 4 for 4 now ?

[@ninakiewiet]

@@SeanStaxxMusic check our the live version at the Vodafone awards in New Zealand it’s not as long as this one but they are great live the bass player is headbanging so long makes my neck hurt and there is one subtitled song with a great beat ru Ana te whenua official music video

[@sonicone99]

As to saying they are a bigger band...no, at the time this video was done they were recently signed to Napalm, they won a contest that was run In New Zealand, they are more known now though

[@SeanStaxxMusic]

Oh wow 👀

[@veriahl]

I am fairly sure they are actually part of the maori people even if they do look kinda white. There is some really good documentary bits about them.

[@SeanStaxxMusic]

Oh that’s cool, I would’ve never guessed!

[@daimyoj9266]

There are plenty of white looking Maori's... Speaking as somebody who is one.

[@veriahl]

@@daimyoj9266 Well i never been there in person but that is what i have understood from stuff i watched.

[@torichan9872]

Yeah a large majority of Māori have some European ancestry, so some of us have lighter skin, or green eyes etc.

[@Runnistr8]

Nice reaction bro should react to shepherds reign aiga another tribal band

[@Denden-mx9gl]

You should watch the vice documentary of this band, It's called the teens saving maori language with heavy metal.

[@SeanStaxxMusic]

That’s so cool of them to do that!

[@anitadixon207]

Thinking same surpise that havnt herd of them.New Zealand has some great bands here. I live in New Zealand Im part Maori myself but dont look like it as look more white then that..Thanks Nina for requeting this.As Jacob commented agree with that. It in Te Reo Maori they trying to keep that lauange alive as it fading out a little and there is songs in english as well. Some of there songs are based on NZ Maori history. Also check out Tangaroa. They currently in US touring. You should also check out Devilskin they are another great New Zealand band.

[@leylaeseni2775]

Wow! Great reaction as always!

[@SeanStaxxMusic]

[@n3izhyped622]

The "dance " is haka it can be considered a war dance or celebrate , or a challenge . The band was young youngest was 14 and some of those "actors" tamoko aka tattoos are real not drawn on , the songs about loosing cultural beliefs and loosing touch with your culture and ways and then going back to the sacred warpath and fighting a tribe that has the strength of the ancestors and itself being gifted by tumatauanga the god of war... Mahi = work, tumatauanga= god of war . So it's the work of the god of war , noticed the body being dragged at the start coming back to life after the work was done , it's a symbolic gesture to the tribe that's cursed and can never die and constantly fighting . Our official army name is Tumatauanga , there is and English lyrics to it , which will help

[@AGDinCA]

LOL! If you have to ask "Did it drop yet?" then the answer is most certainly "No." 🤘😂

[@SeanStaxxMusic]

😂 true

[@heathcornbeef]

I saw Alien weaponry at the power station in Auckland Aotearoa new Zealand they were bloody wicked with first class crowd interaction it wasn't us and them it was just one Big party before their last song told the crowd to come hang out with them at another pub after the show and talk shit that pub would have had a record night over the bar I'd say . Hay I'm going to make a few suggestions kiwi music wise. Firstly from Taranaki on the west coast of the north island three piece STICKY FILTH 1985-20?? song to check out (Happy birthday to us) these guys have opened for suicidal tendencies Bad Brains and the MIGHTY MOTORHEAD here in Aotearoa have a crack if you have time

"In 1820 the great Northern war chief Hongi Hika departed New Zealand for England. On his return, he brought with him the word of God.......................................................... and hundreds of muskets. "Things would NEVER be the same again"

[@kokopelli327]

Ziemlich geil der Song 👍

[@merc8520]

Nice reaction bro much respect from NZ off camera watch video again there’s English translation for the words in kai tangata

[@PeoplecallmeLucifer]

They are speaking Maori language (New zealand native language)

[@firefistx7477]

Maori language and past really suit the violence

[@heathcornbeef]

And Missing Teeth's song THE PLAGUE

[@ryydcd]

Yo what's up Sean! Great video again! I have a recommendation for you. It'd mean a lot if you could even think about reacting to "Animal" by Lost zone! They just released that song yesterday and they are such a great band! It'd be awesome to hear your thoughts about the song🔥👋

[@SeanStaxxMusic]

That’s a big 10-4! Added to the list 🤘
