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 Turanga Morgan-Edmonds. Tangaroa coalesces Alien Weaponry's growing maturation with an undisturbed songwriting process, resulting in their most complex, inspired, honest and informed material yet. Much of Tangaroa is immersed in the historical stories and cultural heritage of the Maori people. In addition to lyrics written in the indigenous language, many tracks feature traditional instruments, called taonga puoro, providing the tracks their own warrior-like attitude. Accented by personal touches like it's entrancing album art originally conceptualized from drawings by Lewis de Jong, Tangaroa is an intuitive amalgamation of personal inspiration and cultural awareness with a focus on uplifting the voices of indigenous cultures - a unifying topic of global import. It's a massive next step for a band on the rise, encompassing all of the elements that make Alien Weaponry heavy metal's most authentic rising stars\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Titokowaru \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Hatupatu \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Ahi Ka¯ \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Tangaroa \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Unforgiving \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Blinded \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Kai Whatu \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Crooked Monsters \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Buried Underground \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Dad \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Ihenga \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Down the Rabbit Hole\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Alien Weaponry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39485499768903,"sku":"41950531","price":9.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4000307-3173654.jpg?v=1713956501","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/alien-weaponry-tangaroa","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
