Polynesian metal band Shepherds Reign deliver a hard hitting homage to fathers and role models everywhere with new single, Legend, which releases today.

A stand out track from their self-titled debut album, Legend has been reworked to fuse traditional Pacific pate drums with a tsunami of riffs and a heavy dose of double kick. Top it off with in-your-face vocals and a soaring melody and it’s a full metal onslaught, South Auckland style. It’s a sound that Shepherds Reign can well and truly call their own, and just a taste of what you can hear on their full length debut release.

This self-described band of brothers are a tight musical unit, and display a massive musicality with influences ranging from Avenged Sevenfold, Gojira and Dream Theater. While metal is at their core, underestimating their musical ability would be a mistake. They’re not afraid to show their diversity by covering the occasional non-metal track, and showcasing it through YouTube, just because they can. The theme from Frozen never sounded so good.

Shepherds Reign draw straight from the heart for inspiration, and play it as they feel it.There is nothing else like them in Aotearoa.
