The most promising crossover metal band, RISE OF THE NORTHSTAR, returns with their third impact "Showdown”!

The most promising crossover metal band returns with their third impact, "Showdown,” out on April 7th, 2023. 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. Having toured the world many times in support of their two previous efforts, they will perform with an explosive new show that will devastate stages in all major European cities and Festivals during 2023.
