"Wh" in the Maori language is pronounced as "F". at the beginning where it sounds like he's saying "Fucker", it's actually Whakarongomai Ra", which basically means "Come listen to me". The song is about the battle of Gate Pa nearly 200 hundred years ago. I'm not sure of the exact numbers, but the British forces out numbered the Maoris by almost ten to one. Plus the Brits had huge cannons on wheels and the Maoris only had shotguns. It was almost inevitable that the Maoris were gonna get wiped out. At the end of it all around 60% of the Brits were dead compared to only around 20% of the Maoris. Don't know how the hell they did it. The great great great grandfather of the two brothers in Alien Weaponry fought in the battle.

Just completed a new album (not released yet) and currently touring NZ while waiting for the world to open up so they can head back to Europe/UK/US to do the big festivals where they have been so successful. New bass guitarist now as young Ethan found the touring hard at 17/18 yrs old and is looking at a career in production and studio work - sad cos he's a stage beast but he may make the odd guest appearance in the future. Can't wait to see them back at Donnington and Wacken - must be main stage soon.
We hope/know ethan is going to be succesful in his new career! Its still a shame though! But it will be so cool when he will do those guest appearances! Who is this new bass guitarist? Stay safe! 🤘
Just fyi right at the start were you think they said the name of the song that is not it that was a different Maori word they don't actually say rua ana te whenua in this song and whenua is pronounced fen-ew-a using Maori vowels I suggest you watch this and react to this ruclips.net/video/xmbIiSMAtrI/видео.html

The person with the tattoos are the drummer and guitarist father, and the lead guitar and bassist are around 14 or 15 at the time
There's a documentary on them with their parents (their father does the sound). Not in the music video.
