Alien Weaponry Releases Third Album, 'Taniwha' Video Featuring Randy Blythe

New Zealand metal band Alien Weaponry has released a new music video for their single "Taniwha" from their third album, Te Rā, featuring Randy Blythe of Lamb of God. The video portrays the band confronting corporate greed and overconsumption, aligning with the song's themes of colonial arrogance and the protective wrath of the Taniwha, a figure in Māori mythology. Blythe appears masked in the video, delivering a warning before revealing his 'inner beast' as the story unfolds against the backdrop of environmental and landback messaging. Alien Weaponry will support Avatar on their upcoming USA tour beginning November 5, 2025, with multiple dates planned across the country. The band expressed excitement about collaborating with Blythe and emphasized their intent to create a special visual and thematic experience for the song. The video and tour announcement underscore Alien Weaponry's growing presence in the metal scene and their commitment to addressing social and environmental issues through their music.
