New Zealand metal outfit Alien Weaponry have inked a management deal with Los Angeles-based company Rick Sales Entertainment Group.

The trio now join the likes of Slayer, Gojira, Mastodon, Ghost and more on the RSE Group roster.

“We couldn’t be more excited to work with Rick Sales and be a part of the company that manages some of our favourite artists,” drummer Henry de Jong said. 

“Rick Sales is a legend, and an influential figure in the metal scene worldwide.”

Singer/guitarist Lewis de Jong added: “We’re pretty humbled to be welcomed into this exclusive family of artists.”

The band’s second album was originally slated for release in 2020, but has been pushed back to 2021 along with touring plans due to the COVID pandemic.

Their latest LP, Tū, dropped in 2018.
