After only a few years of work, the young New Zealanders have achieved the almost impossible - by incorporating the Maori language into their music, they have captured the warrior spirit of the Maori warriors, bringing a new and distinctive element to metal.Although they had only released their debut album at the time of their appearance at our festival, during the concert they had already played several groovy thrash novelties, which were released last year on Tangaroa!Tū kaha!
