DUDE THIS KICKED ASS! Alien Weaponry "Kai Tangata" 

Totally agree with you on this band. The guttural Maori language and primal imagery really brings something to the table with these guys. I really love these bands that mix their ancient ancestral roots and customs with modern metal/rock, like Alien Weaponry, Northern Kings, The Hu Band, Heilung, Bloodywood, etc. all worth a look-see when you get a chance.

These guys really helped me embrace my maori culture and how metal it is, glad you checked this one out bro🙌

This was absolutely Tribal. I enjoyed it. Definitely different. Another great reaction Brother.

Never heard of this band before so huge thanks. Quite interesting to hear metal in Māori, never thought that it was something I would ever do :) but considering how well the Haka matches metal it makes perfect sense.

I follow Tūranga's reels on fb. It's an interesting little window into some of the Māori culture...even following him, I hadn't listened to the band's music before now, but I'm glad I did.

I agree the music was simple but it fit the song.... but the video was amazing

I saw these guys at the power station in Auckland Aotearoa new zealand in 2019 FARKING AWESOME

Have loved this song for years, great patreon request.

I love Alien Weaponry for quite some times now, but I haven't listened to their songs again for awhile. This reaction elevates my love once more, and I will listen to them again now. Thanks for this reaction!! 🤘🏼🔥🤘🏼

I Remember when I first heard this I couldn't get that chorus out of my head, it's sooo good. I love how chunky and thrashy it is. Well worth tumbling into more of their stuff.

Bro if you're wondering why they stick their tongues out? It represents tasting your flesh after defeating you in battle and giving the ultimate insult when you exit after a good meal of your flesh

Kai Tangata is one of my favourite songs by Alien Weaponry. Thanks for reacting to it!

Another great reaction!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 They've been on my playlist for quite some time and what I like the most is their true commitment on showing their ancestors culture and history through their music. Their families descend directly from Maori people and the music is really good, yet simple and old school.

Hell yeah dude. It's a sad premise but an absolutely vital story that needs to be told. I agree that the music is a bit more simple, but they really have this oldschool soul to them, much like early metal before it became super technical. Great reaction! 🤘🤘

I don't know how I missed this video when it was posted months ago, but I love this song.

I completely agree with you regarding the simplicity of the piece, but such powerful words. So many languages and stories need to be kept alive and music is a great vehicle for this Thank you so much for sharing, my friend. I appreciate you

welcome to the world of folk metal Here's my list of folk metal bands that spans all inhabited continents Diablo Huma- Equador Hiddenland- Equador Cemican- Mexico MiracleOfSound-Ireland (look up his songs Sirona, Grainn Mahoil and Tale of Cu Chullain) Alestorm- Scotland (it's pirate metal but some people count it?) Tyr- Faroe Islands Percival- Poalnd/ Pan slavic Arkona-Russia Rune-Serbia Mägo de Oz-Spain Po' Metra Crijeva- Croatia (the band name means half a meter of guts) Manntra-Croatia Brkovi- Croatia (more of a punk band but look up their song "Ovce" a MAGICAL blend of rap,metal a, punk and folk influences) Metaklapa- Croatia (This one is weird ... they do covers of metal songs in traditional Dalmatian singing style .. for example they did Aces high) Dubioza Kolektiv- Bosnia & Hertzegovina (DO NOTE! This band is called a band with no genre for a reason! they varry from Regge R&B To Folk-Metal-Punk ... compare their "Space song" and "No escape from Balkans") Arka'n Asrafokor- TOGO (also worth of note is Skinflint from Botswana but they don't ussualy have much folk elements) Al-Namrood- Saudi Arabia (They played metal when it was punishable by death... IT DON'T GET MORE HARDCORE THAN THAT!) Hassak- Kazakhstan (it's an ethno band but listen to their song Amanat and tell me it don't belong on a metal concert) The Hu- Mongolia Nine Treasures - China/Inner Mongolia DreamSpirit- China Wagakki band- Japan Nini music- Taiwan BLOODYWOOD- India Alien weaponry- New Zealand Shepherds Reign- New Zealand/Samoa

I really appreciate this band. Thanks to them we have contact with Maori language and part of culture. It's good that they save it in that great way. Thank you to person that recommend this song. Great reaction as always.

Alien Weaponry is so good and they are so young. Cant wait to see what comes next from them Btw, they dont only sing in maori. Would love to see more of them here

This is the kind of metal that I am drawn to and I really liked what I heard. Sad story, but whoever did this video did an excellent job.

Um Jose ch 40 Liquid Metal brings a lot to the table. He brought me AW. 🤟🏻

I like very much this band, they're intense

Interesting song, sad but powerful message. You wonder what these cultures could have been, left uncontaminated by European influences. Sadly that's not what they were about, explorers yes.. but eventually conquerors. I suspect it's always been this way tho, from the dawn of man. Great reaction tho brother! ❤ and ✌️

I think, as an introduction to the band, their first video/single, "Ruana te whenua" is much more powerful than this one.

I kinda forgot how incredibly awesome this band is. Bands always get a bonus point from me for singing in their native language, and hearing Maori metal is a rare treat indeed. The riff here is also just awesome. It's brutal, to the point, and does exactly what it needs to.

Very cool! And great reaction, brother..

Thanks for your great review! The song tells a powerful story about the results of cultural contamination and imperialism. It is amazing that this level of musicianship and vocals all came from a group a guys had just emerged from a garage band status. The talent here is extraordinary, as is their dedication to preserving the Māori language and culture.

I have some of their stuff on my workout playlist. great push for picking heavy stuff up from the ground! If you like some punch I would consider to give "Black Crown Initiate - a Great Mistake" or "Black Crown Initiate - Invitation" a listen. Gutterals are brutal, but mixed with nice cleans! one of their singers is on the Hellsinger videogame too.

Alien Weaponry is so awesome, and they have a bunch of good songs. Getting to hear voices and histories from all over the world is always fun, especially when it comes in metal form. XD

Shepherd's Reign is another good band from NZ

Chur bro 🤙 New Sub🙌💯🔥🔥🔥 Kia Ora 😝

Kia ora bro, im from nz..kai tangata means eat people..my great, great grandparents ate people..but thats what it means in maori..kia kaha

Kia Ora hello brother from Aotearoa new zealand. Hay where has your body gone? Just a face floating in space. Do you know where you left it? I've never lost my body but if you see my head anywhere could you send it home please
