Alien Weaponry is a three-piece metal band whose style has been influenced by old school thrash and hardcore
AW was formed in 2010 by brothers Henry and Lewis de Jong, who have been listening to bands like Metallica, Anthrax and Pantera since birth; and started jamming and writing songs before they learnt the alphabet. Current influences include Lamb Of God, Tryvium, Subtract and System of a Down, but the band has developed its own distinctive thrash metal sound, destined to endure into future centuries.
Alien Weaponry first debuted in the Official New Zealand Top 40 Albums on 11 June 2018 with the album TÅ«. There are two entries by Alien Weaponry in the charts.
