This rules! For non kiwi listeners, the story of Hatupatu escaping from the bird witch Kurangaituku, is one of the most famous Māori legends. As she chased him, he cried out to a rock which opened up a hole for him to hide, then he tricked the witch into falling into a pit of volcanic boiling mud. Hatupatu's rock, is a real place near my home in the North Island. There's a highway next to it now, many people stop there and place coins or food for good luck
Thank you so much for sharing this ☺️!
A semi hollowed out rock with scratch marks all over.
Is jojo referenced this?
Huh I liked the song before, now it's just a new level of Bad Ass. I love learning shit while listening to metal!!!! thanks
🤘
I never want these guys to fold into making all their songs in English. I love their culture and I love learning about their culture!!!
They never will
@@thedemonkingcornerdr.midni3635 "Tangaroa" is in English.. "hypocrite" is in English.. many of their songs are.
@@AngryOzGeek I thought it was amazing the way they mixed Maori with English
Edit: tangaroa
@@AngryOzGeek I think they were talking about them never making *all* their songs in English.
I think a mix of English and Maori would make the Maori lyrics punch even harder tbh.
It's why I love the NZ National Anthem so much (Though to be fair, as an Australian, it's not like we could compete, our national anthem is fucking pathetic)
The music industry: ""Sing in English, if you want to make it."
Alien Weaponry: "Hold my taiaha!"
Yes, I think these songs with their native tongue are more powerful.
NO idea what he's saying. Don't give a single shit. It's fuckin bad ass!! These boys keep stepping it up.
hmmm the word taiaha is also used as a metaphor for the fighting staff that hangs down between your legs... so the reply to that question might be, " Oh your good my bro, you hold your own taiaha" xD But if you were handing them the taiaha at the same time the meaning would not be a double one. Taiaha were personal weapons made to the specific proportions of the owner, given a name and imbued with a mauri, life force, :)
@@toamaori Correct me if I'm wrong here. But, if I remember rightly, if a taiaha were placed on the ground & their enemy picked it up... wasn't that, like their equivalent of a declaration of war?
@@NiCadHeliPilot I haven't heard that before, different tribes have different traditions and someone expert in those weaponry traditions would be able to answer that. But from what I know you wouldn't just place it randomly on the ground like a common object as they were held in high regard, they would have taken a considerable amount of time to construct to an extremely high level of craftsmanship and be treasured possessions treated as such.
What you mention is similar though to the wero, part of the ritual process of two tribes meeting...when if a group of people, another tribe or ope taua (war party) visited, an accomplished warrior would run out alone or with a few others to meet them maybe a kilometre or two away from the village, display his prowess of weaponry and lay a token on the ground, sometimes a stick, sometimes a dart... if the dart pointed directly at the arriving group it was a warning to them to stay away and they are not welcome.. danger if you proceed.
laid perpendicular meant they home people were indifferent, unsure of the visitors, if the dart pointed forwards the home village, it meant proceed, you are welcome but you are being watched. If the visitors picked up the token, they were taking the message and approaching in peace and respect.. if they stood on or walked over it... they were there for conflict, to attack.
All this while the challenging toa/warrior is assessing the people who are advancing and who the leader and most proficient warriors are. if their intent was malicious, he would immediately move to take out the leader and best warriors before they advanced further.
in the old days this would be performed multiple times as they got closer and closer by different warriors, to show the strength and ability of the home people.
again different tribes have different traditions and methods but this is a general description of wero / challenge.
However when performed today the wero is symbolic and performed at the gate way to the marae, but the kaiwero (challenger) could meet out deadly force if protocol is not adhered to. However, a warning strike without making contact is what would normally happen, I've seen people break protocol and get a warning strick millimetres away from their head that's literally close enough to shave with. A properly expertly placed taiaha strike could easily spill brains on the ground.
Maori metal is the greatest sub genre i think I've come across so far...shit slaps!
It's Groove Metal sung in the Maori language, not Maori Metal. In the same way Amon Amarth is Melodic Death Metal singing about Vikings, not Viking Metal or Alestorm is Folk Metal singing about pirates, not Pirate Metal
@@rockstribute yeah yeah, whatever, Maori metal rocks
Mongolian metal...The Hu
I think we can all agree metal based on badass warrior cultures slaps no matter the genre of the metal itself
The apocalypse couldn't have a better soundtrack. Music is universal.
Love it when you guys keep singing in your Native language.
Greetings from East Timor 🤘🏽🇹🇱
I never thought I'd see another Timorese on CZcams comments 😂 ❤
@@hadomidearaujo3221 Hahaha it's rare right? Specially in Heavy Metal community 🤘🏼🤣
Listen... I am 5'3", weak as fuck, and sitting at my boring corporate office job rn and this track has me ready to flip my fucking desk, punch my annoying co-worker, and start a pit in the break room. I cannot WAIT to see y'all in Maine!
lol I feel you, i'm 5'2 in a 1/2 and so fuckin bored durin' school that I listen to their music to just get me hyped up for the day manz hahaha
LETS FUGGIN GO!!!!
I'm a big dude 6'1" and about 260 pounds so getting too hyped to this wouldn't be a good idea lmao.
🤣🤣🤣
@@kingkeltic4228 wow I wish I was as cool as u
A perfect cross between Gojira & Sepultura. Singing in Maori makes it sound so powerful and strong. Alien Weaponry, you hve a new fan from across the ditch. Awesome. 👍🇦🇺 🇳🇿 🤘🤘
These guys, the HU, and Amon Amarth just strike a cord deep within me.
Listen to Shepherd's Reign, get some Samoan metal going in your mix too.
Killed it as Gojira's warm up band! Also having The Haka performed like 5 meters away from me was a legit powerful experience.
Greetings from Brazil, Indegenous People Power around the World! ✊🏾
This is their best song. The really low gutteral background vocals are really adding something to the mix. As an older metalhead it's a headfuck hearing the decades of influence woven through their music.
for me their best is Kai Tangata
Who would have thought. Having turned 59 yrs young id be listening to kiwi/maori metal and loving what these kids do. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
With you all the way 🤘
E eu com 44 anos ouvindo aqui no Rio de Janeiro Brasil
Love the intensity of their tribal vibe. Much respect. Influences from Sepultura taking to the next level. Love it!
The cultural history in this track makes it so much heavier, you legends just keep getting better. Loved seeing Hatupatu wielding the Taiaha against the Birdwitch, great clip!
I’m literally learning about Māori culture through your music, and that’s metal as fuck.
RESPECT
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I loved learning the story of ‘Hatupatu and Kurangaituku/the bird women’ as a kid in kohanga/ Māori day care. It’s one of my all time favourite Māori legends/ lores alongside ‘Te Ika a Māui/ The fish of Maui’ and ‘Ranginui and Papatuanuku/ Earth mother and Sky father’
I was staying in Rotorua and went a back way to Tauranga for the One love festival. My GPS took us through a gorge and my mum happened to see a clearing on the side of the highway with Hatu Patu on a sign in the middle of this gorge. Kind of creepy knowing the back story now. Not really a desirable place to drive at night as the roads really windy and it’s all Native forest. Kind of pretty land and very scenic.
These are no mistake, they have a great future ahead of them.
Greetings from Portugal!!!!!!!!
Brazilll
VAMOS!!! 🇵🇹
Once upon a time, I used to worry about growing old and never experiencing the joy of finding new bands and music to listen to. Here I am in 2022, a few weeks before turning 41, and I stumbled across Alien Weaponry. I worried unnecessarily and I am ok admitting I was wrong because this shit is awesome. Thanks for keeping metal fresh.
41 cuzz ya spring chicken
@@heathcornbeef 😂
@@konversion age is just a number my bro I've just turned 52 twelve years ago me and my partner were driving to a punk gig in Auckland Aotearoa new zealand the day before my 40th birthday i don't drink alcohol i like uncle Bob's greenery but i had a dry mouth and had a mouth full of her premix gin and come around the corner and there's a police drunk driver check point i talked into the thing and it was a fail so had to get into the bus and blow into the machine and the mid twenties cop say's that's a fail youth are you over the age of twenty? Bro I'm at least ten years older than you! He didn't believe me I had to go back to my car and get my license to prove to him that I was over twenty the look on his face when he released i was hour's away from my 40th birthday i still have a MOHAWK and a fairly humourous outlook on life i don't take much seriously except for my kids and driving oops almost forgot music PUNKROCK SKA AND REGGAE
This totally slaps. And this isn't normally my genre, too.
Six minutes flew by so fast that I didn't even notice.
Metal shall never die!!!
jack black would agree
Just bumped into these guys today...F***ing love the vibes, reminds me a lot of the sepultura sound of old days
I’m only hearing them for the first time too! Instantly hooked!
Alien Weaponry never disappoint
From the true furthest piece of land from you (Italy), know that you awake distant memories in time but very near passion in the hearth!
❤
Whole album is amazing. Been waiting for this one.

I always thought Maori and metal would work! like Haka with gat drums n bass.I used to be n a black metal band down wellington in the early 00s and wanted to utilise this idea to stand out from the rest of the generic poop i was hearing the boys in the band just laughed me off calling it" brown metal" i was the token maori in the group btw dam I wish I'd stuck to my guns everything we done had been done before thats why im a painter still lol proud of these young bros they are taking Maori to higher places I imagine this must sound brutal to non kiwis live the dream boys !!
Mate I'm a metalhead from Aussie and these guys fucken slay
My fiancé is Māori and although she doesn't like metal she appreciates these guys.
Kirangaituku (the monster in the video) could very well have been based on a real animal, the Haast's eagle which had a 3 meter wingspan that hunted moa and likely humans as well
There are stories of the Haast Eagles hunting humans handed down. We called them hookioi, and the ancestral stories say they would swoop down and hunt them while they collected water from rivers. The river provided the perfect line of sight...
Lyrics
Alien Weaponry - Hatupatu
Matikuku aneane, ka hopu ki ahau
Ki ahau!
Ngutu māro e kakati
Kakati!
Nga ringaringa whīroki
Whīroki!
Parirau e whanake
E whanake!
Ngaweki te mate
Te mate!
Ngā waewae whīroki oma
Ngaweki te mate
Te mate!
Kurangaituku tata!
Aue aue tēnei tō wā mate!
Aue aue miromiro e karanga!
Hatupatu mōkai!
Hatupatu kōhuru!
Hatupatu tāhae!
Hatupatu tūhura!
Hatupatu wanawana!
Hatupatu omaoma!
Hatupatu tōhunga!
Hatupatu whakapupuni!
Hopu te taiaha, mokomoko ka mate
Ka mate!
Tāhae te korowai
Te tangi ō miromiro, waiata kūpapa
Waiata kūpapa!
Titiro ana, Weherua te toka
Te toka!
Karanga te ngāwhā
Te tuamatangi ō te wahine mākutu
Wahine mākutu!
Matiti matata
Matiti matata
Matiti matata
Matiti matata
Ngātata toka!
Aue aue tēnei tō wā mate!
Aue aue miromiro e karanga!
Aiē aiē he reka tō ūpoko!
Aiē aiē e kapo tō tīnana!
Pahiko, pahiko ana!
Pahiko, pahiko ana!
Hatupatu tōku ingoa!
Te kai whakahinga, o te wahine mākutu e!
Wahine mākutu! Kurangaituku!
Ka ora tonu, whakatōrea au te mate!
Ka ora tonu! karanga tōku kāinga ki ahau!
Tukupunga te whiro ō te wao, roto i te ngāwhā!
I te ngāwhā! Roto i te ngāwhā!
Kā mate!
Thank you, now I can sing along with it.
🙏
Love the google translation. “magical woman! Free internet!”
Epic fullas!
An instant Alien Weaponry classic.
Full of mana, great riffs, great vocals.
Story of a great Maori legend told by mokopuna
Absolutely awesome video and song.
New album is amazing!!
Well done Alien Weaponry
"Mana"? You sound like Dwayne Johnson.
@@BeardedDanishViking I mean, The Rock is Samoan and both the Samoans and Maori are Polynesian so of course they'd share some words and shared beliefs. The mana concept is widespread across the entire Polynesian sphere.
The band hits hard even without vocals these guys are fkn Savage. Like all the old heavy metal of the 90s
The video is awesome. And to hear the story of our ancestor Hatupatu retold like this is great. It captures Hatupatu's fear and trepidation as he escaped. But yet he was still defiant. You've captured the emotion.
Tau kē boys.
I'm a year late on this song but holy shit this is the perfect combination of everything I love about metal, mean riff, sick as fuck drums, dominant vocals and a breakdown from the back fence. Don't stop making music.
Holy fuck i feel like its 86 again
Oh shit it’s nearly here staying up till 3 for this shit go on boys
I saw this group somewhere in a comment section recommended and hell I'm in love!
kua rere mai ngā manu e iwa tekau ma rua kia whakararo kōnui i tenei kiriata...
92 birds flew here just to dislike this video xD
that intro riff.. reminiscent of fluttering wings and warbling Tui. ka rawe rawa ano!
Teaching maori mythology through head banging vibrations is next level future story telling 👽
This song is beyond awesome live!
my favorite thing is that this mans murked Kurangaituku and immediately starts bustin a move
Even Though I don't understand the lyrics (which I can look up) I really liked that the Instrumentation was up front and lyrics were lower in the mix. It really made you pay attention even if you don't speak the language
That costume is hella sick! Scary as hell.
Keep up the great work guys!!! Love your music!!!
This song is CHUNKY and I love it.
Pretty sure I woke up my roommate while jamming to this showering before work! Awesome song guys! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Nice music video, awesome band :) love how you progressed through the last few years! Keep it up and spread knowledge about your culture!
Man every song I have heard pumped from these guys are just killers! Absolute awesome stuff, such a unique style
You guys never disappoint!!!
Freaking awesome song!!!
Thank you for sharing your work with us.
Cheers from Portugal!!
Olá compatriota
VAMOS!!! 🇵🇹
Portugal sempre bem representado!
Saw these guys open for Gojira, now I'm hooked.
Awesome. 🤘🏻🥷🏻🇳🇿
My god I'm so glad I found this band
These guys need to tour with Cemican and The Hu.
add Arka'n Asrafokor and shepherds reign and im in ^^
Hell yeah that definitely would be an awesome show🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
The HU⚡️⚡️⚡️
@@Ntwister Oh we making a folk metal rapsody I see
Add Arkona and Bloodywood to the list
🤘🤘🤘
They need to come visit Cincinnati!!
Ohoo It’s So Groovy !!
I remember reading this story when I was eight. :')
Привет from Russia.❤️
My parents moving us here to NZ when I was a toddler was the best decision ever. I'm so proud to be here and as a metal fan I've always sat in preformences at school wondering what it would sound like if it were metal. My girlfriend found this and showed it to me and istg it's exactly what I wanted to hear since I started listening to metal
I like Alien weapon sound.Very distinctive feelings and heavy groov😊
AWSOME!!
🤎Dang very nice nice Whuu Hatupatu! Napalm Records🤴🏽 Alien Weaponry 👍🏽Thank you xo
Took me a little while to get fully into this band but I’m glad I did
Alien Weaponery for life.
Awesome!!! Greetings from Brazil!!!
Bruno Bataglia, do Giordano Bruno???
Pretty sick.
I find wonderful that bands/musicians share their culture to the world through their songs. I'm of Ukrainian descent, and since Russia tried to erase our culture (it's been 3 centuries it tries), no one knows us -- even in Western Europe lol. That's why music is so important to keep culture alive ! Go_A did it, IGNEA also did... It's pretty badass. Alien Weaponry is amazing. I wish you the best, and I also wish you could tour more often in Europe !
Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦
@@rickyhunt4075 Thanks !! Glory to Heroes !
Glory to God...Metal is definitely the soundtrack of life.. Ukraine full of shit pedos and evil just like everywhere else including Russia and the United Shit States!! Randy Blythe said it best "Rejoice, the age of the fall has begun
We'll dance as the palaces burn!!"
Shit yes! This beat f*cking SHREDS. Thanks for another eargasm, A.W.!
Thanks so much for posting.
Aloha, from Hawaii!!! Great music and awesome video!!!
Another fan from the 808! What island?

I was at the Hatupatu Rock the other day then BANG!!!! this force of gravity shakes my neighbour's eardrums 7:35am on a tino day in Aotearoa..HFM 🤘🤘
This was one of the most bad ass intros to a concert I've witnessed in the probly 60, 70 shows I've seen last 10 years.
This song really amps me up in the gym. These guys are awesome.
Love hearing the Bullroarer 🤙🏼🔉🔊❤️
Boss band. Love from Liverpool
Brazil here
Love to New Zealand from England!!! You rock dear brothers!!!
Man this hits differently when you're fresh from a creepypasta about the hungry man.
Oh how I have missed this band
That was so badass!!! 🤘🔥
I'm so... in love with Alien Weaponry!!! 🖤🖤🖤 Words are just not enough. 🖤
great jam
Pure mana. Nothing less.
Can't believe I almost missed new AW stuff
This was my favorite kōrero as a kid.
Isn’t it amazing these guys StRted out at teenagers as young as 16 and the advancement of their sound is so unreal to this day…. Love from Winnipeg Manitoba Canada 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Amazing, much love for you guys!
Awesome shit guys!
I have no idea what they are singing, but i Like what I'm hearing. That's metal for ya... ❤❤❤❤ Love from India
These guys have got bags of potential. Two albums so far have been incredible. Keep it up!
please never stop doing this kind of music
Nice!!
You guy have to come to Brazil...
Go to Amazon and go nuts!! You're gonna love it!!
Why not Sepultura+Alien Weaponry+Gojira South American tour?
Oh, had to edit... Forgot to say that the album is Amazing!!!
