Musicians react to hearing Shepherds Reign - Le Manu - OFFICIAL VIDEO for the first time! 

Alien Weaponry is a New Zealand thrash metal band from Waipu, formed in Auckland in 2010. The band consists of drummer Henry de Jong, guitarist Lewis de Jong and, since August 2020, bass player Tūranga Morgan-Edmonds. All three members have Māori ancestry and a number of their songs are written and performed in the Māori language.

I haven't heard of them before, I think its time I checked them out. Thank you. The band looks like they are more Polynesian (I recognise some Samoan elements and words), the backdrop looks New Zealand. It is a war club in his hand, used in both war and dance in the Polynesian culture (I am no expert or even a rank armature). If it was Samoan then the club would be a nifa otti, If it is a Maori club it is a patu.

What if this band and the hu went on tour one badass show love this very cool love hanging with ya and talking metal keep up good work and love your feedback

Nice reaction and I'm glad you guys enjoyed this one! Around the time they filmed this video they had recently added a permanent bassist. Before that they had different bassist perform with them at live performances. If you want to hear a song with some more bass try their song Concrete Walls! It's in English and has a pretty cool bass part! The singer used to be a prison guard and wrote the song from the perspective of an inmate.. Enjoy 🤘😊🤘 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NK1Lv3C-huc.html

it is dedicated to those lost in the measles epidemic in Samoa not so long ago.

'Kia kaha' means stays strong in Māori!!! Similar to us Samoan's saying 'malo pe faamalosi'

THIS BAND IS FROM SAMOA, THIS IS SAMOAN METAL BAND

They remind me of Alien weaponry.

What the lead singer is holding is a Samoan War Knife
