New Zealands Maori Metal Sensation ALIEN WEAPONRY release a strictly limited 7 Inch Vinyl, including the two brand new songs “Ahi Kā” And “Blinded”.
The three teenagers are celebrated worldwide as one of the hottest newcomer metal bands. After releasing the debut album Tū in 2018, ALIEN WEAPONRY toured Europe, North America, Australia and their home country of New Zealand extensively. They played the biggest festivals around the world and supported the legendary Ministry in the Us. In 2019 they’ll go one step further by playing headline tours in the US and Europe and supporting Slayer on their last show in Germany ever.

ALIEN WEAPONRY on the two new songs:
Ahi Ka: “In 1952, in preparation for a Royal visit by Her Majesty the Queen, the Auckland City Council, in a misguided attempt to beautify the city,
evicted the local Ngāti Whātua people from their village at Ōkahu Bay and burned it to the ground.”
Blinded: “Relationships are difficult to understand at the best of times but when you are 16 and on tour all over the world these things are bound to get confusing and hard to reconcile. Blinded is about a very personal trip down this rabbit hole”
“We have had a very busy touring schedule ever since the release of Tū and we are stoked we managed to record two new tracks in the short break we had back home in New Zealand.
We can’t wait to play the new songs live!“
The new 7 Inch is the first new material since the debut album and is strictly limited to 400 pieces.
About “Ahi Ka”: “Ahi Kā was inspired by the Auckland city council’s decision to burn down what was considered to be the unsightly indigenous Maori village of Okahu Bay in advance of Queen Elizabeth II’s 1953 visit,” Alien Weaponry’s singer-guitarist Lewis de Jong says of the track. Which, like many of the band’s songs, is sung in New Zealand’s indigenous language of Te Reo Māori. “The eviction sparked a 40-year battle for the native Ngati Whatua to reclaim their land, including protests and battles with the police. Amid worldwide criticism, a small portion of the original land was ultimately returned with an apology and some compensation.”
DEE SNIDER just released his seventh video off his latest and highly recommended album For The Love Of Metal.

DEE on the new video: “It is almost a year to the day that the lyric video for “Tomorrow’s No Concern” was released. The song immediately connected with the metal community and since then, my album “For the Love of Metal” produced by Jamey Jasta on Napalm Records has become a bonafide hit. Now my live shows are filled, not just for my ‘twisted’ past, but also for my very metal now. That is why I wanted to release this live concert video performance of Tomorrow’s No Concern. Filmed in Sao Paulo, Brazil by acclaimed director Leo Libertine, it is the perfect bookend to my year in metal and beautifully shows the growing enthusiasm for my new music from my legion of heavy metal ‘Dee-sciples’! We are all fucking metal!”
For The Love Of Metal was produced by Hatebreed vocalist Jamey Jasta and features contributions from Howard Jones (ex-Killswitch Engage), Mark Morton (Lamb Of God), Alissa White-Gluz (Arch Enemy), Joel Grind and Nick Bellmore (Toxic Holocaust) and Charlie Bellmore (Kingdom Of Sorrow).

Singer Tarek commented as followed: “This song was written to be an anthem for all people who are ready to live a life of freedom and break out of their daily routine. The time is now to stand tall against the world, experience some adventures and become a wasteland outlaw!”
The Transylvania County based duo BLOODY HAMMERS release the second official video from their upcoming album The Summoning. “From Beyond The Grave” transports the dark and sinister feeling that only BLOODY HAMMERS can summon in 2019. The wonderfully creepy horror mix of 80s hard rock, gothic, doom and epic metal riffs are wonderfully illustrated in the new video with a silent film era twist. The video was once more produced by the band itself in the BLOODY HAMMERS Film Studios.
Watch “From Beyond The Grave” HERE.
Anders Manga on the video and the song: “The video is obviously a homage to F.W. Murnau and his early horror work in the silent film era. We had a great time making the video. The song, in a horror rock way, is a narrative from the perspective of a ghost who wants to return to his love on earth. I have so many favorites from the new album, but this is one of those straight forward hard rock tracks that I hope to see people blasting by the pool this summer… while covered in goth strength sunblock of course.”
BLOODY HAMMERS deliver their fifth studio album entitled The Summoning on June 26th 2019 via Napalm Records!
