New Zealand metal fans, it's time to show your support for our local talent, Shepherds Reign, as they go up against metal heavyweights like Metallica, The Hu, and After The Burial in Metal Hammer's new track of the week. Cast your vote and come together at Blitz Metal Fest on Saturday, April 8, at Ding Dong Lounge for an unforgettable night of Kiwi metal.
Here's a quick rundown of the bands and songs you can vote for this week, with a special focus on our very own Shepherds Reign:
Metallica - "72 Seasons": Metallica's 11th album takes them back to their thrash roots and celebrates the first 18 years of a listener's life.
The Hu ft. Serj Tankian & DL (Bad Wolves) - "Black Thunder": Mongolian folk metal meets English lyrics and shamanistic chants in this powerful collaboration.
After The Burial - "Nothing Gold": Prog-metal veterans return with a blend of dexterous guitars, roaring mosh calls, and crowd-baiting choruses.
Shepherds Reign - "Ua Masa’a": New Zealand's own Shepherds Reign explores domestic violence and their Polynesian heritage through hard-hitting groove metal. Show your support by voting for this exceptional song!

One of the strengths of Run 3 is how naturally it introduces new ideas. The early stages focus on basic movement, allowing players to build confidence before facing more demanding challenges. As the journey continues, levels become more complex without feeling unfair. This gradual learning curve makes the game welcoming to newcomers while still providing enough depth for experienced players.
This is a great snapshot of how much community support can matter for a local metal lineup. For anyone who likes quick browser fighters between gigs, I keep a playable-version and controls archive at BVNPlay.
