New Zealand based thrash metal trio, Alien Weaponry, have release a music video for their single, "Blinded"

The song is physically available on the almost sold out Ahi Kā 7 Inch Single (A-side: “Ahi Kā”, B-side: “Blinded”) now and talks about the difficulty of relationships. It focuses on how hard it is to reconcile and see through all the confusion when you’re a teenager and travel around the world to play your music while trying to keep a relationship working. It is deeply personal and very touching, since probably everyone has felt something similar to this at least once in their lives. Watch the new video below. Order the single here.

"The song has very personal meaning for me (Lewis), but we wanted the video to leave things more open, so people can interpret it their own way. Piotr and Dwayne have really captured the notion of altered realities that we were going for, and we hope people will find their own messages in the images and the music," says Lewis de Jong.

Alien Weaponry have announced their next run of dates in the US and Canada. The band will join forces with legendary metal bands Black Label Society and The Black Dahlia Murder for a month long tour this fall.
