As a fellow Polynesian, I'm so proud of these boys. Spreading Polynesian culture makes me so happy.

I've always differentiated between Polynesian and NZ maori culture (I'm not remotely from this part of the world), is this the wrong way to look at it? Do Maori identify generally as Polynesian or...? Not particularly clued up on this part of the world

We would identitfy with our tribe first then as maori and lastly of polynesian people. The tribes today can trace their important ancestors who migrated here from the islands. Our culture and language has hardly changed from the islands, we can speak our tribal tongue to other maori or islanders and can quite understand each other well.

We differentiate between Polynesians/Pacific Islanders and Maori here in NZ a lot and it's bc of their place as indigenous people...also I think outside of NZ Maori have a much stronger identity throughout the world than most other Poly islands.

@@zaharastill4096 warfare came with the canoes not from this land, guess where the canoes came from...pacific islands in polynesia, our culture is polynesian, the most common ancestor to all maori is toi te hurumanu also known as toi te huatahi or toi kairakau and he came from the islands then lived here. Before him the people here never fought, only those who came here did. Those that make up our modern tribe. Maori are known for warfare but if it was not for our ancestors from the islands we wouldnt be maori

This is not polynesian culture this is MAORI culture

Apparently, all the actors in the video are from the same tribe -- including the band.

Oh wow! I can't get enough of these dudes! Loved watching your reaction to this track, adds to the enjoyment!

A lot of people said they sounded like old school Sepultura...good ear

I love this band and this video is just epic! So glad you finally got to enjoy it ♥

love your reactions in the video mate,ive been listening to a fair bit of them and they surely kick ass.Im from NZ and would love to see them when they are back from touring.

This is crazy sick!!!

kick ass boys mean maori kiwi boys done NZ proud!

These boys are doing us proud man. There is a video where they do a haka with a Danish crowd before a concert and it gave me fucking chills, especially when the crowd got in on it and was vibing it back. Being maori myself and liking metal, back even about 5 years ago, was weird. People expected you to listen to rap and stuff. But now that these lads are doing their thing, they're making maori more accessible to metal and vice versa. So cool. Big props to them.

They got their name from watching district 9

YES!! FINALLY! Massive massive band and I knew you'd love this shit!

Love this song and video!! That's my kind of sound 👍 you are are so right about the Sepultura vibe! I'm totally digging these guys!!!

Chur bol, love your channel bol, been waiting for you to react to this

RISE OF THE NORTHSTAR - HERE COMES THE BOOM. I could see you getting so hyped to their new vid!

Love this band

Cracked the fuck up at "Hakka breakdown"

Nice. NZ represent \m/

This is one of my favorite reactions to this song.

Yeahhhhhhh🤘🏻

Mate you nailed it with the District 9 reference, probably been said before but that's their inspiration for the name my guy

These kids are the true hope to keep metal alive.

Mad respect for this band! awesome band with meaning

Alien weaponary actually got their name from district 9 🤘

You didn't want to stop listening..! Awesome. They're doing a show in my hometown soon, so if I can get a chance to chat them up, I'll try not to be too drunk to show (any of) them this video ;D

Mate, you have the best fuckin' reactions. Subscribed.

I have no idea what they are saying but the music and imagery of this song are freaking amazing!!

finaly i love the whole album

They were sick at Download as well, got right to the front and they fucking killed it

Alien Weaponry - Holding my breath is really good too, my favourite .

These boys balls are dragging in the dirt...fucking awesome.

Best reaction ever!

Love this band, they fuckin rock hard

Fucking love this reaction and how much your into it!

I am not a trash metal fan per say but I love these kids, yes teens, who remind me of some of the rebellious bands of the 60's and that anti-establishment vibe. Here it is even more passionate as they are truly fighting to save one of the last indigenous cultures that is being erased by the current assimilation efforts within their country. They sing in their native language that less than 4% of the population now speaks, they are using their historical past with metal music today so that this culture survives tomorrow. How can you not love this band and what they are doing. I only hope now that they played Wacken (2018) and are signed up with Napalm that the label continues to let them sing in that native tongue, as I know a recent release was in English, which I get trying to get a wider audience but still this language, these stories and this sound are just awesome together so please don't lose that. Great reaction BTW and yes that was the fastest 7 minutes. Vice News did a great short piece on them (kzread.info/dash/bejne/YoaJ1s2aeNadfLA.html) which really goes into their motivations. BTW they are District 9 movie lovers and took the band name from their favorite movie when they were 10 years old!!!!!

The name is actually for real beyond the mainstream ☮️❤️💛💚👀👂🏽👐🏽

Ooh ! Soulfly groove ? New flavor ! Raw crunchy first class tobacco smell !

*CURRENTS - HANGING BY A THREAD!* (I usually don't do this all caps stuff.. but after all those months of spamming this song I hope it draws more attention ;)

How much noise can three people make??? Fucken Hardcore!!!

I've seen a short documentary about Alien Weaponry and they actually said that the name came about after watching District 9.

This gets better everytime I hear it.
