I met them at 10am in the Hellfest in... 2018 I think! I didn't know them but I understood really fast knew who they are! They are legends and I love 'em also for keeping Maoris in the memories! But... I don't approve the "sheeesh" in this live (live of this video I mean" Edit: "knew"
Alien Weaponry is a fantastic reminder that melody is king. Instrumental virtuosity is great, but nearly as impactful as a hook that will stay in your head forever
Im the former owner of that bass. Brought it in NZ while living in Aus, left it in NZ and never plugged it in. Couldn't justify holding onto it after 5 years sitting in a case
I would be _so stressed_ if my band's rehearsal room had a mirror setup 3" from my face. Lol You guys are killing it though! Super tight! Aloha from Hawaii, boys.
That way you can always look up to make sure you are looking badass.. Appearances are a HUGE part of live performance, that often gets overlooked by musicians.
As an older metal head, listened to over 35 yrs of metal..seen some top metal bands too! I can honestly say these guys are the Best...i cant stop listening to them!! Hopes to see them live..Awesome af!🤘🤘🖤🖤
Ever since I first listened to Tai Kagata you guys have just been getting better and better. Love you guys and all other metal artists that are showing just how versatile and powerful the medium can be.
Saw these badass dudes open for Gojira in Portland, ME recently. They went on right before Knocked Loose, but they paled. These guys put on one hell of a fucking show! Great stage presence given that they had barely any room due to Gojira's huge setup. Keep up the sick music guys.
I was at the same concert and I gotta say it's the first concert I had gone too that I really enjoyed every band. Alien Weaponry absolutely killed it, I'd love to see them play a longer set.
Man aside from the music being killer, it’s just nice to see a band look like they don’t hate each other and are just going through the motions. Keep up the bad-assery dudes. 🤘🤘
A.W. are one of those bands, you don't know where you first heard them, but you know you'll never stop listening. Ever. Keep it up chaps, much love from the UK, would be awesome to see you on tour one day soon!! 🤘
Fuckin absolutely shredded all over that! Chops so tight boys. Your levels across the board were spot on. Everyone's vocal parts where all dynamic and tight. Whoever mixed you fuckin nailed it
I saw you guy with Gojira in Chattanooga Tennessee a few weeks ago. Loved it. Refreshing to hear melody in metal. Keep up the good tunes. Much Love from the USA.
Dude, the room is smaller than a broom closet, what do you expect him to do? thrash against the drum kit? XD. Don't worry, I saw them live last night, the Bassist was a fucking badass psycho, nothing has been lost, only gained. They're in good hands with the new dude.
Been listening to metal for over 20 years, and these guys are hands down one of my absolute top favourites. Their music really woke up my Hawaiian and Native American roots.
Really look forward to seeing you guys with Gojira. I'm a fan and it's a little extra special now that I've been able to travel to NZ and visit the country. Cheers fellas 🤘🤘
This is awesome. Great job 👍 Every tune is masterful here. Love the melodic/rhythmic vox and the time sigs, drums, bass, and bad ass guitar riffs and tune! You guys need to keep pushing. You have something special here-a sound like no other 🤘🤘
Never heard you guys before - I knew the name but never heard you - very good stuff - very tight and that has to be the smallest practice space I have ever seen!
Sounding more astonishing by the day! I still remember 5 years back when i began hearing of these guys, time sure flies when youre having fun like their music has been since day one. Best of luck boys we love ya
Sometimes we forget a lot of our legends were basically still teens when they got started...in rock and metal...pop even. I love all the musical options available these days. Great stuff.
Dope af thanks for posting this! My new favorite band I discovered from that festival! Idk why they took them down there are so many good performances and this one was awesome!
Holy SPIRITS OF THE ANCESTORS. This makes my nuts stronger. Fuckin vibes that make your heart want to scream in power. A mixture of tears of rage and pride all at once. Boss-battle music. You guys have only gotten better.
You guys are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Literally was like "NOOOOO" when Henry said there was only one song left, also did the Buried Underground dance. Also, nobody does the pukana like Tū. Thank you so much for this, boys. Love y'all! 💜🤘♫
The bassman has slotted in perfectly 👌
His face tattoo is amazing! MAORI!
he has an awesome vibe about him. you can tell he’s really into it… like he just let’s go and plays and acts however he feels.
Man the vocals and harmonizing sounds amazing guys
🔥🔥🔥🔥

I met them when they were on tour woth gojira and knocked loose last year, and now i listen to them almost religiously.
With*
as a New zealand born polynesian who loves metal, this stuff really "speaks to my soul" on a real deep level....
I wanna learn the lyrics I'm sure it's a lot better when you know everything being said
Am I perhaps a New Zealand born Polynesian? My soul was spoken to as well.... on a primordial ooze deep level.
A big thanks to Alien Weaponry for using a language I can understand (metal music) to bring this culture to my awareness!
@@BEERBOMB113 I'm sure there's a Google for that. Lol.
Rare to see Polys into this music ay respects
You can’t see me.. but I’m in a pit in my head with all of you watching
Three part harmony is so sick in metal, sounds incredible. Love from the US
Alien Weaponry is a fantastic reminder that melody is king. Instrumental virtuosity is great, but nearly as impactful as a hook that will stay in your head forever
Bassist has fitted the band like a glove. Carries the energy perfectly.
He picked it up easily. Wasn’t a bassist before this.
this is so sick, never really sat down and listened to these guys but their live shit always gets me going. That bass is so chunky
That bass sounds like it ate all the pies and is hungry for more. One CHONKY boy.
Im the former owner of that bass. Brought it in NZ while living in Aus, left it in NZ and never plugged it in. Couldn't justify holding onto it after 5 years sitting in a case
These guys have a great vibe live. Great name and music
I would be _so stressed_ if my band's rehearsal room had a mirror setup 3" from my face. Lol
You guys are killing it though! Super tight!
Aloha from Hawaii, boys.
That way you can always look up to make sure you are looking badass.. Appearances are a HUGE part of live performance, that often gets overlooked by musicians.
It’s more like a foot.
Brah I was thinking the same thing guy!
Makes room feel bigger also

propably mean kai tangata, right...?
So damn sick. These riffs. Groove for days.
Bring it to Utah - ASAP.
Bring it to Iowa for Slipknot fans! 😁

PS That bass player/tone is on another level!
Dude they were in Portland and I didn’t even know! I’m from the Bangor area
Knocked Loose are sick r u sure
@@aituflame8222 would you like me to copy/paste my original comment, or would you rather me question my opinions based on yours? =)
I was at the same concert and I gotta say it's the first concert I had gone too that I really enjoyed every band. Alien Weaponry absolutely killed it, I'd love to see them play a longer set.
Being able to put on this good of a show just looking at there own reflections is pretty awesome too
This is now my new favorite band. Holy fucking shit.
Hell Fucking Yes!
Man aside from the music being killer, it’s just nice to see a band look like they don’t hate each other and are just going through the motions. Keep up the bad-assery dudes. 🤘🤘
Fangirling from Kentucky, USA. Phenomenal work, guys! 😄🤘🏻
Love them ! I was recommended to check them out by one of my youtube subscribers so glad I did 🤘🏽🤘🏽🔥
Brazil loves Alien Weaponry🇧🇷🇧🇷❤️
I get a classic Sepultura vibe off them, good stuff
This is fucken insane!!!!!!!
A.W. are one of those bands, you don't know where you first heard them, but you know you'll never stop listening. Ever. Keep it up chaps, much love from the UK, would be awesome to see you on tour one day soon!! 🤘
Damn fellas, you get 1000 times better in each video. Representing Aotearoa in a LARGE way.
And they just keep sounding better and better with each song. Pretty well blown away here......
Fuckin absolutely shredded all over that! Chops so tight boys. Your levels across the board were spot on. Everyone's vocal parts where all dynamic and tight. Whoever mixed you fuckin nailed it
3 lads putting out the power of 6, huge sounds, amazing harmonising, riveting stuff!
I saw you guy with Gojira in Chattanooga Tennessee a few weeks ago. Loved it. Refreshing to hear melody in metal. Keep up the good tunes. Much Love from the USA.
I grew up in Chattanooga. 😉 great place.
Holy Fucking Shit!! Needed This, Thanks🤘🖤😝🖤🤘
Kai tangata is also my favourite , and should always be the last song played 😂😂
Just gonna stop by real quick to say: holy shit!!
Those harmonies are mad sounding and the band is so effin tight!!
Keep on!! RU ANA TE WHENUA
These guys are unreal-level badass.
These guys always sound incredible. Studio, live recording, and even in person. I was super fortunate to see them in October 2021…amazing as always!
I miss the old bassist. He was so good live. He always went nuts!
Yeah what Happened there
Dude, the room is smaller than a broom closet, what do you expect him to do? thrash against the drum kit? XD. Don't worry, I saw them live last night, the Bassist was a fucking badass psycho, nothing has been lost, only gained. They're in good hands with the new dude.
@@billabongwardleAnd his face tattoo 😮
This band kills it! The drummer has that Max C. Scream. Thank the gods for diversity, rand boom 👍
O M G man i love this band i really love how they kept their culture , dont change for shit keep your culture alive
I really enjoy listening to these guys. Their music is always original and unique.
you guys remind me of what sepultura did in the 90's with bringing their culture to metal. i love to see it.
Been listening to metal for over 20 years, and these guys are hands down one of my absolute top favourites. Their music really woke up my Hawaiian and Native American roots.
Ka Pai Guys!! 🤘❤
Really look forward to seeing you guys with Gojira. I'm a fan and it's a little extra special now that I've been able to travel to NZ and visit the country. Cheers fellas 🤘🤘

Wow 🔥y’all sickkkkkkk🔥🔥🔥🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪
How good is this song 12.56. Start. Its blow my mind.
That was amazing guys! The mix was really well put together. Thanks!
Never heard you guys before - I knew the name but never heard you - very good stuff - very tight and that has to be the smallest practice space I have ever seen!
@Nik Nik hahaha!
This was awesome. Cheers from Argentina.
Sounding more astonishing by the day! I still remember 5 years back when i began hearing of these guys, time sure flies when youre having fun like their music has been since day one. Best of luck boys we love ya

All that powerful sound I've been hearing is 3 guys. Bravo and respect!
If Venom and Shrine of Malice had babies 🤘
We're SO proud of you guys. Aroha from Aotearoa xo
When a bass player pulls out a Warwick shits going down
It's not a Warwick, it's a Spector, it's my old Spector US, I sold it to him
Whoever the techs are, as well as the engineer, deserve all the praises. This sounds insane.
I came here via a viking metal band but wow im staying for this epic metal, you gents just got a new fan
Damn!!! Wow... much love from Los Angeles
Saw them in Atlanta GA last month, such an impressive sound for just 3 guys. And they're almost still teenagers!
Sometimes we forget a lot of our legends were basically still teens when they got started...in rock and metal...pop even. I love all the musical options available these days. Great stuff.
Grew up around Waipu many years ago.Lve your work boys.Love the language crossover.Legendary!!!
Dope af thanks for posting this! My new favorite band I discovered from that festival! Idk why they took them down there are so many good performances and this one was awesome!
I've been lucky enough to see these guys twice so far. Real deal! Great live band!
Guys, you are awesome. Looking forward to see you in Switzerland in 2022!!
Heard you guys open for Gojira in Nashville a few weeks ago. You guys kicked ass! been a fan ever since, keep doing what you're doing
My wife and I were suppppper bummed when you weren't able to open for Gojira in October. Hopefully you guys will make it to the states in 2022!
Damn those harmonies. Sounding better than ever guys!
why did i think this band was gonna be some basic thrash band? this is some island groove. HOLY SHIT I LOVE THIS
unrivaled bangers
These songs sound exactly the same as on the albums.
Tight. Unique. Amazing!
Holy SPIRITS OF THE ANCESTORS. This makes my nuts stronger. Fuckin vibes that make your heart want to scream in power. A mixture of tears of rage and pride all at once. Boss-battle music. You guys have only gotten better.
Never has the term POWER TRIO been more appropriate.
F’n awesome
Fuck me Jimmy Jimmy boy gotta love me some alien weaponry til the bucket is close enough to kick 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I've seen you twice in Kansas City. Can't wait for the next time.
You guys are absolutely awesome man, keep it up! Probably one of the few metal bands I'd go and watch nowadays.
Sick 🤘
Love this band….pass it on
Along with Bloodywood, Shepherd’s Reign and YOU! Favorite bands right now 🤘🏻
@Alien Weaponry my new favorite metal band 💯💪👽 Those were some sick bass riffs on the first song! 😎👍
That snare sound cures cancer for real
You guys are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Literally was like "NOOOOO" when Henry said there was only one song left, also did the Buried Underground dance. Also, nobody does the pukana like Tū. Thank you so much for this, boys. Love y'all! 💜🤘♫
THat was awesome! If Ethan ever decides to come back, I'd love to see Turanga on the 2nd guitar for that fat heavy riffing and harmonies! \m/
This band is FREAKING AWESOME!!
It's gotta be frustrating playing music like this but being so confined to the studio.
Stoked to see you guys in Poland in january supporting Gojira , you have a nice space there and sound is amazing!
Awesome!! Well done!!
Amazing! Thank You!
Love it♡
YES! Amazing live set!!!
