I finally saw Alien weaponry live yesterday and they were amazing. I had goosebumps when they performed the haka at the start.
Too bad they only played a 30min set :(.

I've been doing a bit of bouncing around YouTube and have found four bands, heavy metal, that I hadn't heard of.
Shepherds Reign (Samoa/Polynesia)

https://youtu.be/xvioybLgSMouKanDanZ (France/Ethiopia)
https://youtu.be/BjUDozEinPgBloodywood (Indian)
https://youtu.be/2bldupcptbE (Warning: Emotional for dog lovers 💔)OK, uKanDanZ are not exactly heavy metal, but they hammer anyway. They do a fantastic cover of WarPigs, too.
Better late than never, I guess. Awesome music is awesome!

Aeon of Awareness – The Embracing Light of Rarohenga Review
By GardensTale
You know, I’m rather proud of the impact we have at AMG. Bands we spotlight see a measurable increase in sales and engagement, even when the review did not come with enthusiastic recommendations. We’re receiving more and more promos directly from bands with a request for review, many of them unsigned. It takes balls to do that, and I think that deserves reward. The reward is brutal, uncompromising honesty. I’ve decided to focus on these promos more this year, and first in line is The Embracing Light of Rarohenga, the debut from German melodeath outfit Aeon of Awareness.
Considering the theme comes from Māori mythology and some of the lyrics are in its language, I was starting to think founder Per Lümbersson or vocalist Meta List must have had Māori roots, but I was mistaken. If you expected those influences to extend to the music, like how Alien Weaponry uses Haka structures in their riffs, you’d be mistaken, too. Instead, Aeon of Awareness pays tribute primarily to chunky Scandinavian melodic death, most obviously Amon Amarth. Though some tracks (“Lebenslast,” “Hine-nui-te-pō”) wrap the package in more melancholic, Insomniummy bookends, once the big mid-paced riffs start coming, they don’t stop coming. While arguably derivative, the hooks have the required size and energy to get the head bobbing and the face stanking, and they are more than a match for the Swedish Vikings’ more recent offers, in particular the thundering main riff of “Lebenslast.”
The back half branches out a little more. “Ira Di(e)mensions” hikes the speed and aggression up to something more akin to Unleashed, and “Fort Forest” holds a thrashy edge before gradually slowing down past the midway point. “King Kauri” even throws in some harmonies that seem to be inspired by Be’lakor. Though Aeon of Awareness still doesn’t escape the feeling of swéjà vu, it mixes up the compositions and varies the pace and approach enough to keep Rarohenga reasonably fresh and engaging across the brisk 40 minutes.
But where the guitars steal the show with fun headbangable riffwork, and the bass puts on a nice supporting rumble, the vocals and drums lag behind. Neither is outright bad, though. The growls simply lack both personality and impact, remaining confined to a low, stoic and slightly breathy growl, with occasional backup from an unconvincing blackened rasp. There’s not much variety to its delivery, and that leads to levelling out the intensity of the music as a whole, paying with dynamics in execution more than in songwriting. The drums are a different issue though. They are played with competence and enthusiasm, but everything sounds so triggered I actually thought it was a drum machine at first. Every kick and every snare is at the exact same volume, which can get grating fast when the blasts begin. I’m not enough of a music producer to deduce the cause of the problem; all I know is, despite crediting a human drummer, they sound as mechanical as programmed drums.
All things considered, The Embracing Light of Rarohenga is a promising debut with a few issues holding it back. The core is there; solid songwriting, strong hooks, a good sense of flow and variety. Aside from the drums, the production is competent, the mix very decent. But Aeon of Awareness desperately needs something to stand out from the crowd. Wearing your inspirations on your sleeve is not a problem when you are firing on every cylinder across the board harder than any of your peers, but with quite average vocals and the issue of the flat-sounding drums, this band is not up to that level yet. But for those craving a bite-size dose of Amarthian riffs, you won’t be disappointed.

Festival Review: Tons of Rock 2024 – Day 1
This year Tons Of Rock Festival was celebrating its 10th anniversary, and I was excited to be returning to the festival for the seventh year. The festival is similar in size to Bloodstock Festival in the UK, which I think is the perf

Because it’s been a while since we featured some metal from The List, our next spotlight is on number 788, submitted by @raisedfist.
While Alien Weaponry technically formed in 2010, the fact that it took 8 years for them to release their debut album doesn’t seem so shocking when you find out the band members’ ages. Started by brothers Henry Te Reiwhati de Jong and Lewis Raharuhi de Jong when they were only 10 and 8 years old, this band starting making waves between 2014 and 2016 when they opened for a couple well-known Kiwi metal/rock bands, then won a couple of competitions, then received a couple of grants to record and produce a couple music videos, and then were named by Metal Hammer as one of New Zealand’s top 10 metal acts.
I’m fairly certain they first hit my radar with their music video for “Raupatu” (Youtube), one of the three singles off Tū. As with other songs on this album, some of the lyrics are in Māori (the de Jong brothers’s father and paternal grandmother are Māori, connected to the Ngāti Pikiao and Ngāti Raukawa tribes), and deal with historical events the Māori have experienced at the hands of the British invaders/colonialist government. Even if thrash/nu-metal isn’t your thing, the fact that this album was put out by high school students is impressive, and definitely worth a listen.
The band is still going strong – and it looks like they put on some great live shows – so check out their Youtube channel if you like what you hear.
[Alt text for accompanying image: The album cover has art depicting a head in a horned metal helmet, the face tattooed, teeth bared, and eyes covered. The band name is in the top left corner, the album name in the bottom right. The cover is very dark in general, with a black background.]

I've never been more proud to be from Aotearoa than when I saw a huge crowd of metal fans, from all around the world, going crazy to Alien Weaponry at Wacken. Their music is a glorious expression of both their whakapapa Māori and their European ancestry. The music video for Raupatu is right up there with the video to Right in Two by Tool, as one of the most deeply affecting piece of audio-visual art I've ever seens:
