I rarely review, firstly because I don't think I'm particularly good at it and secondly because I'm rarely moved enough to do so. Though, this young band who just released their debut last year has managed to move me enough to do exactly that today. Picture this, what if Sepultura, Pantera, and Gojira joined into some strange love triangle and ended up giving birth to a new band. What the hell would that be? Well friends, it would likely take the form of Alien Weaponry. Embrace the sound that they've created on their debut, Tū, which means "to stand" or "to establish" in Te Reo, the language of the native Maori people from New Zealand. Taking a stand and establishing their sound, that's exactly what this band has accomplished and they entered the metal arena through doors that seemed to be waiting wide open for them all along.

Damn, not a thrash fan but "Kai Tangata" was a banger.

I still spin it. It's just delicious. For the record, check out Guib's review, he clearly drawn the references and nothing gets closer to Sepultura.

This tops in my top #3 groove metal album of all time.
