Official press release:
New Zealand thrash metal trio Alien Weaponry unleash their brand-new music video for "Whispers" off the recently released debut album, Tu.
While previous songs "Ru Ana Te Whenua" and "Kai Tangata" have related to historic battles and injustices faced by their ancestors, "Whispers" raises much more recent incidences of conflict - the Foreshore and Seabed Act passed in 2004; and the Trans Pacific Partnership, signed in 2016.
"These are just a couple of examples of the government not respecting the voices of the people, especially Maori,"says guitarist and lead singer, Lewis de Jong. "Even though historic wrongs have supposedly been righted with compensation, when the same thing keeps happening it's hard to believe there has really been a change."
