Te Rā (Vinyl LP)

Our very own homegrown groove metal success story, Alien Weaponry have taken te reo Māori to the world, hitting stages alongside heavyweights such as Slayer, Guns 'n Roses, and Gojira. Now, on new album Te Rā, these young titans are set to prove themselves all over again with their most brutal and technically proficient work to date.  - Flying Out

New Zealand groove metal trio ALIEN WEAPONRY will release their heaviest offering to date, Te Rā via Napalm Records. The two-time Aotearoa Music Award winners have been fast rising, amassing millions of streams, being championed by SXM, and performing with the likes of Guns N' Roses, Gojira, and Slayer. On Te Rā, they expand on their hallmark messages of resilience with refreshed technical skill from the whole band, producing a gnashing blend of groove, nu, math and thrash metal. Lyrically, there’s a noticeably hopeless tilt, with frontman Lewis Raharuhi de Jong grappling with being caught in the pull of diverging cultures. Te Rā is a bold, unwavering cry for a future in which we can all take part in, solidifying ALIEN WEAPONRY as one of the greatest young metal bands.
