Alien Weaponry release new music video for ‘Hatupatu’

ALIEN WEAPONRY have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Hatupatu, is taken from the New Zealand-based metal band’s brand new album, Tangaroa, which was released yesterday.

Speaking about the single, drummer Henry de Jong says, “the story of Hatupatu is one Lewis and I grew up with – our father was the first person to tell us as children. Having a family connection with it only made creating a song more intriguing for us. Traditionally, Māori legends were passed down through families by re-telling them, not by having them written down in books. It only makes sense for us to be re-telling this story as our tūpuna (ancestors) did for generations. We cannot wait to share with the rest of the world.”

Tangaroa is out now via Napalm Records.
