First reaction to "Kai Tangata" by Alien Weaponry. OMG🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪💪  

Would you believe they were only 16 and 18 years old when they did this??? Crazy talented. Check out Ru Ana Te Whenua. Seriously heavy.

Very spiritual band much love and respects to these guys representing their heritage love love love!!!! Music is badass!!

Here is the English translations A war party, a war party Footsteps pound the sacred warpath Many heads are sought Many slaves are sought This is the work of Tūmatauenga Behold The chisel of Mataora The strong back The base of the spine The buttock spirals The thigh The war belt The tattooed bodies of warriors These are the omens of war A mighty battle to avenge us Our ancestors gather to assist us Our priests prepare the incantations This is the work of Tūmatauenga Behold The chisel of Mataora The strong back The base of the spine The buttock spirals The thigh The war belt The tattooed bodies of warriors These are the omens of war A Tūmatauenga A Tūmatauenga A Tūmatauenga A Tūmatauenga This is the work of Tūmatauenga This is the work of Tūmatauenga This is the work of Tūmatauenga This is the work of Tūmatauenga The cry of guns, the blows of the taiaha The sweet flesh of our enemies The ovens fill our bellies with revenge This is the work of Tūmatauenga Behold The chisel of Mataora The strong back The base of the spine The buttock spirals The thigh The war belt The tattooed bodies of warriors These are the omens of war Footsteps pound the sacred warpath Footsteps pound the sacred warpath Footsteps pound the sacred warpath Footsteps pound the sacred warpath

Being from nz it's pretty cool to see them get popular. Metal and Maori is a cool mix

Great reaction. We saw them live about a year ago, opened for Gojira. They were AWESOME! Instant fan. Incredible live, highly recommend.

Scottish Maori here, true story, and proud of my heritage. NZ history is very crazy. Haha

The Maori are a proud and fierce people. I want to know who thought, hey lets make them more frightening and have Scottish settle with them. Love it!

The so called musket wars played havoc in New Zealand/Aotearoa. When war parties armed with muskets moved through the land there was only one realistic outcome for any tribe that tried to oppose them. In our own district it is estimated that up to 2000 were killed and provided feasting for days after the battles. Considering that hand to hand warfare had been the norm up to the introduction of the musket, not even bow and arrows being part of the weapon systems it is not hard to see how with such an uneven balance of power the effects would last generations.

Thanks for reacting!

Love the reaction!! If you want to go even harder with Alien Weaponry, React to Ru an Te Whenua, you think this song got you pumping??? Ru an Te Whenua will blow your fucking mind!! love your channel guys, keep up the slamming work, Much love from NZ

I'm half Maori English and first time listening,to heavy metal,was all right, Stevie Ray Vaughan So excited live at the el mocambo watched him play for three hours without stopping just unbelievable 😮😊😊

These guys kick ass. A must see live band if possible. I’d recommend a song called “ Buried Underground”. It will get your blood flowing. Enjoy.

Saw these guys live at Eden Park in Auckland and they were a support band for gnr that night, this song was the best song of the night, you should definitely see them live if you get the opportunity

Just discovered this reaction....lol. Now i'm venturing down this rabbit hole. DAMN THEY ARE FUCKING AWESOME! GREAT REACTION.

The Musket Wars changed the balance of tribal power in New Zealand; this is what the music is about

AOTEAROA " LAND OF THE LONG WHITE CLOUD " in the house commonly referred to in English as NEW ZEALAND 🇳🇿

ruapatu is a good song too . its sung in maori. im a new zealander and have loved these guys since they came out, although i understand it a bit more than some. rock on

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Shot love your reaction proud kiwi 💯🔥🤘🏼

I love that you vibed to it so quickly lol

Imhalf cast maori,english never heard much metal but quite like this, Stevie Ray Vaughan Texas flood live at the el mocambo watched him play for three hours without stopping just unbelievable, ACDC ride on 😊😊😊

Great to see rockers around the world digging our waka blonde bad boys. Their freshman album is pretty special

This is my culture a country of warriors

Kia ora, had to subscribe. Fuckn loved your guys reaction. 🤘

Awesome reaction, Maori metal is badass

Brilliant visuals and production. Fucking love Te Reo and metal.

Missed y'all last night.

Ruana tewhenua will blow your mind its heavy af 💯🤘🏼

Alot of the guys in this video are the boys relatives .there literally singer about eating people Kai means to eat tangata people there also singing about their Tattoos and the meaning of some parts of the Tattoos and the weapons they are using and fighting against the invaders with the Muskets.There also singing about the Maori God of war Tumatauinga the New Zealand Army is called Ngati tribe Tumatauinga God of war.so Tribe of the god of war.

What up

Your impressions were pretty much perfect 👌

Perfect fuck you up song🤘🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

🤘

These guys and Shepherd's Reign together would be awesome, but that mosh pit might be the first in my life I've avoided. Pacific Islanders get a little intense for me. Lol

They were the support act for Gojira so I guess that says alot

Or as my late friend Jason King would say GO HARD OR GO HOME(he didn't make it home one night killed by a drunk driver)

Great kiwi metal

The name of the song literally translates to eat people 😂, we don’t do that anymore.

Tūmatauenga is the primary God(Atua) of war and human activities such as food cultivation and hunting

You have to see them live

Oh, check these guys out. Kill The Kong - "Revolution" Two singers, two drummers and it is on!

FUCK N A!! HOLY SHIT🔥🔥🔥

Both of your accents are adorable

Say it like - Kai Tar-Naa-Ta is close enough. Tangata is person or people and Kai is food or eat. Im Maori, the same tribes as these kids. All Maori have a common ancient ancestors though our ancestors come from different places. Tumatauenga is our Ariki of war, movement, food collection .... (a primary spirit - like a God be the closest thing - we dont pray to our Gods - we are part of them, everything is of them. The Mauri (life force).

Done well for a few teenagers.

Hey guys i enjoyed ur reaction to alien weaponry. Im also from new zealand But if you want to check these guys out Just look them up on youtube..its all there everyrhing about them. That simple. Cheers guys🤘🤘👍👍

Check out another kiwi band called Pull Down The Sun, think you will like 🤘

Styles bro

Kai tangata means cannibal nga mahi a Tumatauenga = performing the feats of the god of war.

Ruapatu....

Check out there Albums Tu & Tangaroa they've got alot more excellent songs sung in Te reo maori & English in my top 5 favorite New Zealand bands they're more popular overseas then in our own country New Zealand

This is the work of tumatauenga(maori god of war)

The Maori language is beautiful and fierce at the same time in this video. Learn about the musket wars in New Zealand. Hongi hika lead his war party down south and killed many warriors from other tribes. It was all from revenge from years of the blood feuds. Today New Zealand is peaceful, but it used to have a bloody past, first with the Maori fighting each other, then later when they fought the crown.

Have a listen to Hipocrite ,Holding My Breath, Blinded ,Ahi Ka ,Tangaroa, Raupatu, Rua Tewhenua Hatupatu ,Buried Underground This is a mix from both there albums would love to see use do another restion on another of there songs love your opinions to cheers from New Zealand

Weird how you paused right after the "great war for revenge" verse...your pay the price comment was on...

Kai Tangata refers to cannibalism. The Māori language is just holding together due to the popularity of the Haka at the beginning of All Blacks rugby matches. Another interesting band is Arka'n from Togo, W. Africa.

Enter Shikari- Sorry You're Not A Winner

Scottish Maori English Jew right here hay do you know how copper wire was invented? IT was a Scott and a Jew fighting over a one cent piece

Much love from New Zealand

👍👍👍
