Tūranga Morgan-Edmonds, the powerhouse holding down the low end for New Zealand’s explosive trio Alien Weaponry, recently shared the ultimate fantasy for any metal musician: the dream tour lineup. And spoiAlien Weaponry’s Dream Tour Is Metal Heavenler alert—it’s heavy, loud, and loaded with legends.
Since stepping into the band in 2020, Morgan-Edmonds has carved out a strong presence on stage, locking in tightly with the band’s thunderous rhythms while bringing a fresh energy to their already intense Māori-infused sound. Behind that commanding performance, though, lives a passionate fan of metal’s most crushing acts—and he’s got some serious wishes when it comes to who he’d love to tour with.
At the top of his dream list? The French titans Gojira, a band Alien Weaponry fans often compare them to thanks to their shared blend of heaviness and spirituality. Also on his radar is the ever-ferocious Lamb of God, one of the genre’s modern flag-bearers. For Tūranga, these aren’t just musical idols—they represent the kind of relentless stage presence and sonic impact that he aspires to channel every time he picks up his bass.
Beyond personal admiration, this fantasy tour pairing reflects a deep connection with bands that use their music to tell powerful stories. Just like Alien Weaponry, Gojira and Lamb of God have built reputations on authenticity, fire, and purpose—whether it’s environmental battles or social rebellion.
Alien Weaponry, of course, has their own unique legacy: intertwining traditional Māori history, language, and themes into the fierce backbone of groove-heavy thrash. With Tūranga on board, that mission has only intensified. His dream tour isn’t just about sharing the stage—it’s about uniting a tribe of bands who turn culture, consciousness, and chaos into something unforgettable.
While we can only hope this dream lineup becomes reality one day, there’s no denying that Alien Weaponry is already making its mark—loud, proud, and unapologetically Māori.
