Excellent heavy groove metal, heavy guitar rhythms and interesting lyrical content exploring Maori culture and historical imperialism in New Zealand among other things. The songs that are sung in Maori have a different feeling, one that is more tribal and powerful to me. The track Whispers starts with what appears to be a radio conversation between a right-wing commentator stating the Maori's were savages and another speaker defending their culture as different and the need to live in harmony as more important now. This is an example of how much this kind of content is a focus for the band in their music and the messages they wish to convey. Other political topics are explored, for example in ?Nobody Here? (social media addiction) and the bands willingness to tackle these subjects is pleasing.rFavourite tracks; Kai Tangata, R? Ana Te Whenua, PC Bro, Urutaa
