<p>Rise of the Northstar is a French crossover metal band known for their unique blend of heavy music and Japanese imagery. With Vithia on vocals, Eva-B and Air One on guitars, Fabulous Fab on bass, and Phantom on drums, this talented group delivers powerful performances that captivate audiences worldwide. Their sound is characterized by aggressive riffs, catchy melodies, and intense energy. Former member Hokuto no Kev contributed his skills as a drummer to the band in the past. Rise of the Northstar's music is a must-listen for fans of metal looking for something fresh and exciting.</p>

The most promising crossover metal band returns with their third impact, "Showdown". After a three-year absence, the band is back more determined than ever with their devastating new attack, " Showdown," which is about to become the must-have album of 2023. This full-length clearly exceeds anything ROTN has been able to offer so far in terms of musical and artistic creation. Integrating to perfection all the elements that make the success of the formation: Insane grooves mixed with powerful riffs dressed by the now well-known flow of Vithia, sublimated by Eva-B's epic solos all wrapped up in their unique Japanese shonen manga universe. Mixed by Johann Meyer (Gojira) and mastered by acclaimed Ted Jensen (Sterling Sound Studio), " Showdown" also offers phenomenal production. It should not be otherwise, given the richness of the songs that make up this album: you will want to jump to the groove, you will headbang to the heaviness, mosh to the hardcore breakdowns, break your neck to the thrash riffing, sing along to the choruses and feel goosebumps to the beautifully written solos. If there was to be a band that stands out for its originality, universe, and music, it is undoubtedly these stage monsters that are Rise Of The Northstar. With +20 million Spotify streams for the single ‘Here Comes The Boom’ taken from their previous album “The Legacy Of Shi” and over 30 Million YouTube cumulated plays, it's clear these guys are heavy hitters.
