Teenage ‘Maori thrash’ band Alien Weaponry will have their debut album “Tū” out on June 01st through Napalm Records. According to a press release, the album’s title is short for ‘Tumatauenga, the Maori god of war, Tū also means to stand strong and proud, and to stand for something.”
Today the band debuted a video for the album’s first single, “Holding My Breath“, below with frontman/guitarist Lewis de Jong commenting of it:
“It’s about something that actually happened to me. I felt so bad that I literally stayed in my room and couldn’t bring myself to leave the house or talk to anyone. I wrote the song at that time, and it was one of the things that helped me work through it, so I hope it will resonate with other people going through similar things.”
Pre-orders for the album are available now via Napalm Records.
