#408: Alien Weaponry's Lewis and Henry de Jong

Lewis and Henry de Jong, the brothers behind Alien Weaponry, join
us this week! We discuss the the band's new album, Tangaroa, the
record's themes of environmental awareness and how everyone needs
to do more, why they felt writing about their Maori heritage was
extremely important, how touring has changed their perspective on
major issues affecting the world, how to fix mistakes made by
previous generation by being vocal, and their recent performance
with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. Petar, Brandon and Jozalyn
turn in another music episode inspired by a listener email asking
about the best nu metal bands people may not have heard of, and we
discuss how the movement holds up 20 years later. Thank you to our
sponsor, Metal Blade Records, for their continued support!
