Alien Weaponry - Te Ra (CD)
Description
Entering 2025 with their third full-length Te Rā, ALIEN WEAPONRY expand on their hallmark messages of cultural, societal and environmental resilience while delivering their most massive-sounding, focused musical output ever. In the hands of veteran producer/mixer Josh Wilbur (Lamb Of God, Gojira, Megadeth), Te Rā’s gnashing blend of groove, nu, math and thrash metal shines with anthemic choruses and refreshed technical skill of frontman/guitarist Lewis Raharuhi de Jong, drummer Henry Te Reiwhati de Jong and bassist Tūranga Morgan-Edmonds. Listeners can hear the band doubling-down on the aggression in the verses before applying temperance, especially in the case of “Taniwha”, a death metal-leaning banger featuring a particularly raw guest vocal from longtime ALIEN WEAPONRY champion Randy Blythe of Lamb Of God.
