Alien Weaponry
Tangaroa
In the past few years, no emerging metal band has shaken up the international metal scene like ALIEN
WEAPONRY – featuring 21-year-old Henry de Jong (drums), 19-year-old Lewis de Jong (guitars, vocals)
and 21-year-old new bassist Tūranga Morgan-Edmonds. Since releasing their acclaimed Napalm Records
debut Tū (2018), the New Zealanders’ kinetic presence and unique sound – combining elements of thrash
and groove metal with lyrics in the native indigenous language, te reo Māori — has attracted throngs of
fans and media supporters across the globe. Having achieved past and present tours and festivals with
the likes of Slayer, Black Label Society and Gojira, and being hailed the “future of metal” by esteemed
magazine Metal Hammer (UK) and voted by Revolver Magazine (US) fans as “one of the bands most likely
to break out in 2021”, ALIEN WEAPONRY are poised to dominate with the sheer ruthlessness and
untempered passion of their fervid sophomore release, Tangaroa (2021). The album coalesces ALIEN
WEAPONRY’s growing maturation with an undisturbed songwriting process, resulting in their most
complex, inspired, honest and informed material yet. ...
