Alien Weaponry – Tū (Vinyl)
Overdrive magazine in Australia wrote, "By fusing their Māori culture within their music, Alien Weaponry offer the world of metal something completely new and special."
It’s a furious album of thrash metal and Māori history. Alien Weaponry, of Ngati Pikiāo and Ngati Raukawa ancestry, create a refreshing and insightful perspective to their lineage, highlighting the darker aspects of their culture in their songwriting with a strong tribal presence.
Driving riffs echo the pounding footsteps of a war party in Kai Tangata, an emotionally layered vocal range laces the very political Nobody Here, while Raupatu runs with a trash-heavy riff and a meaty bass line that destroys all the other tracks as the album’s most brutal song.
All up, Alien Weaponry paint a detailed picture of tradition, pride and cultural importance that is as educational as it is enjoyable, proving that heavy metal is in good hands as the next generation step out to dominate.

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
