Alien Weaponry Reveal "Īhenga" Music Video

Today, New Zealand's metallic frontrunners ALIEN WEAPONRY has premiered a music video for "Īhenga." The track appears on their 2021 sophomore full-length Tangaroa and features the mōteatea singing style.

The band comments on the track, "When the Te Arawa people first came to Aotearoa (New Zealand) from Hawaiki (greater Tahitian Island group), they set about exploring the new land. Īhenga traveled throughout the North Island of Aotearoa and named many places that still have these names today."
