LEGEND (RESURRECTED)

Synopsis

Polynesian metal band Shepherd’s Reign deliver a hard hitting homage to fathers and role models everywhere with new single, Legend. A stand out track from their self-titled debut album, Legend has been reworked to fuse traditional Pacific pātē drums with a tsunami of riffs and a heavy dose of double kick. Top it off with in-your-face vocals and a soaring melody and it’s a full metal onslaught, South Auckland style. It’s a sound that Shepherd’s Reign can well and truly call their own. Accompanying the single is the new video for Legend, starring another heavy hitter and legend in his own right, David Tua ONZM. “David Tua has always been a role model”, the band explains, “for all New Zealanders, and especially those from South Auckland. He’s well respected and still has one of the biggest left hooks in boxing. He was the obvious choice to approach for the video.” Shot in part at David Tua’s gym, the video is a testament to never giving up, and drawing on the strength of your identity to gain the courage to follow through – no matter how far the odds are stacked against you. The video is shot and directed by Kwasnik Pictures, the team behind the stunning videos for Alien Weaponry, Rei and Team Dynamite.

Shepherd’s Reign draw straight from the heart for inspiration, and play it as they feel it. There is nothing else like them in Aotearoa.
