As a fellow Polynesian, I'm so proud of these boys. Spreading Polynesian culture makes me so happy.

[@bobytubeify]

I've always differentiated between Polynesian and NZ maori culture (I'm not remotely from this part of the world), is this the wrong way to look at it? Do Maori identify generally as Polynesian or...? Not particularly clued up on this part of the world

[@revonz]

We would identitfy with our tribe first then as maori and lastly of polynesian people. The tribes today can trace their important ancestors who migrated here from the islands. Our culture and language has hardly changed from the islands, we can speak our tribal tongue to other maori or islanders and can quite understand each other well.

[@T_Senju]

We differentiate between Polynesians/Pacific Islanders and Maori here in NZ a lot and it's bc of their place as indigenous people...also I think outside of NZ Maori have a much stronger identity throughout the world than most other Poly islands.

[@revonz]

@@zaharastill4096 warfare came with the canoes not from this land, guess where the canoes came from...pacific islands in polynesia, our culture is polynesian, the most common ancestor to all maori is toi te hurumanu also known as toi te huatahi or toi kairakau and he came from the islands then lived here. Before him the people here never fought, only those who came here did. Those that make up our modern tribe. Maori are known for warfare but if it was not for our ancestors from the islands we wouldnt be maori

[@bradleyhampton1045]

This is not polynesian culture this is MAORI culture

[@jackcovell4725]

District 9 is actually what gave them the idea for the name because its their favorite si fi movie too

[@lizahenry3343]

Alien Weaponry; because their music's could not possibly be of this world!👍

[@Nukelover]

Apparently, all the actors in the video are from the same tribe -- including the band.

[@billholder1330]

Just the band's family and friends.

[@shambrose82]

So much potential in this band. They are all under 18 years old. Can't wait to see what they do in a few years!

[@kevinmeli]

@John Wick What?

[@AK47HEAVYMETAL83]

They are already Metal Gods in my book brother 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

[@GodOfNoice]

I know the drummer. They look bad ass but they're genuine nice guys :D

[@zerozeeros]

Possibly the most original thing ive ever heard

[@krustymetal1959]

Damn straight! Can’t understand a word of it but you can feel the passion in their efforts and respect for the heritage. Amazing

[@emilioguzmanalvarez420]

Yuuuuup

[@AnasisNZ]

Proud kiwi here! These boys go hard. Thanks for the reaction dude

[@thenothing777]

These bois are awesome, better musicians at half my age than I could ever hope to be!

[@thenothing777]

Oh yeah also most of the tattooed tribal people in the video are either the bois family or part of their families tribe!

[@thenothing777]

John Wick well aren't you just a ray of sunshine 😁

[@howdoyouroam7596]

John Wick Your KZbin name is John wick. Your opinions don't matter. Fucking inbred.

[@dickyboi1985]

Your awesome! Thank you for translating!

[@blackdahlia6870]

[@firefistx7477]

All pur language sounds like a chant of power

[@comrakacolyte9372]

I tried to sing along 😂😂 great tongue twister

[@yarixaperezramos3404]

Thank

[@vietnamd0820]

I felt the Sepultura vibe too 👍

[@danielbaxter4068]

i got some cousins that are half Maori that probably don't know about this, this is certainly super badass that's for sure

[@lamykaswiccanpodcast]

For this Hawaiian woman I’m so proud of these young men and their AMAZING mele 💪🏽

[@iamvermin2224]

That's pretty neato man! Definitely the first New Zealand 'Tribal Metal' I've ever heard. Very interesting. I'm gonna check them out for sure! I wanna be able to sing along with them too! 😁✌One Love

[@bigblacc317]

IAm VERMIN they have the lyrics available on the official video if you hit the captions button

[@iamvermin2224]

Brandon Davis oh right on! Thanks bro! 😁✌One Love

[@bigblacc317]

A lot of people said they sounded like old school Sepultura...good ear

[@Nikkiluvs_who]

Beyond bad ass, aren't they?!

[@deankumeroa4324]

So are you hotie

[@ColvyMolvy]

These boys are doing us proud man. There is a video where they do a haka with a Danish crowd before a concert and it gave me fucking chills, especially when the crowd got in on it and was vibing it back. Being maori myself and liking metal, back even about 5 years ago, was weird. People expected you to listen to rap and stuff. But now that these lads are doing their thing, they're making maori more accessible to metal and vice versa. So cool. Big props to them.

[@Eriiiiiiiiiik]

Oh wow! I can't get enough of these dudes! Loved watching your reaction to this track, adds to the enjoyment!

[@SneakyKiwi71]

Wicked reaction bro, Aotearoa represent! I would suggest you watch a NZ movie called 'The Deadlands', that will give you some more insight into Maori culture

[@garethcampbell6299]

Stu West 👍👍

[@oppy980]

They got their name from watching district 9

[@adambedford2288]

[@jbasti227]

[@CDR7474]

[@FearedAudacity]

They were sick at Download as well, got right to the front and they fucking killed it

[@3M0_K1NG]

wow im blown away that is awesome and singing in traditional language too amazing

[@conclaveluminis]

How much noise can three people make??? Fucken Hardcore!!!

[@dazbradz8869]

Been waiting for this to happen!

[@jimscobie6646]

Your reaction was great! Lol it took me by surprise too.

[@jmetallover]

I am not a trash metal fan per say but I love these kids, yes teens, who remind me of some of the rebellious bands of the 60's and that anti-establishment vibe. Here it is even more passionate as they are truly fighting to save one of the last indigenous cultures that is being erased by the current assimilation efforts within their country. They sing in their native language that less than 4% of the population now speaks, they are using their historical past with metal music today so that this culture survives tomorrow. How can you not love this band and what they are doing. I only hope now that they played Wacken (2018) and are signed up with Napalm that the label continues to let them sing in that native tongue, as I know a recent release was in English, which I get trying to get a wider audience but still this language, these stories and this sound are just awesome together so please don't lose that. Great reaction BTW and yes that was the fastest 7 minutes. Vice News did a great short piece on them (kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoO4pZ6Xfdhqgq8) which really goes into their motivations. BTW they are District 9 movie lovers and took the band name from their favorite movie when they were 10 years old!!!!!

[@ryankieth1675]

This is one of my favorite reactions to this song.

[@fuzzieian8018]

I moved my head thanks man for doing this vid loved it...

[@Rob_Infinity3]

I've seen a short documentary about Alien Weaponry and they actually said that the name came about after watching District 9.

[@rm6894]

3 years late! But love the energy you brought watching this

[@richardlohmann4013]

*CURRENTS - HANGING BY A THREAD!* (I usually don't do this all caps stuff.. but after all those months of spamming this song I hope it draws more attention ;)

[@elainewoodard8486]

Mad respect for this band! awesome band with meaning

[@TheAnarkiwi]

They named the group because they love District 9. This song is about the ancient pratice of kai tangata, which is cannibalism.

[@joshcnzl8185]

Nice. NZ represent \m/
