Opening for Alien Weaponry was Polynesian metal band Shepherds Reign. The South Auckland band – Filiva’a James, Gideon Voon, Oliver Leupolu, Shaymen Rameka and Joseph Oti-George matched the energy of the night ringing in Alien Weaponry plus launching a new track, Toa.

Back from their North American tour and over half way through the NZ tour, thrash metallers Alien Weaponry hit Auckland’s iconic Powerstation. Alien Weaponry (Henry Te Reiwhati de Jong, Lewis Raharuhi de Jong and Tūranga Morgan-Edmonds) were greeted enthusiastically by their dedicated fans, delivering an energy filled set.
