New Zealand based thrash metal trio, Alien Weaponry, will release a music video for their new single, "Blinded", this Friday (July 12). Watch a teaser below.

"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. The trek kicks off September 11 in Ventura, CA and concludes on October 12 at the inaugural Exit 111 Festival in Manchester, TN. A complete list of dates is below.
