Rise of the Northstar to release new album in November – watch the video for “A.I.R. Max”

French metal act Rise of the Northstar will release their new album “CHAPTER 04: RED FALCON SUPER BATTLE! NEO PARIS WAR!!” on November 14th.

The 13-track record continues the band’s trademark fusion of rap metal and hardcore, combining heavy grooves, melodic atmospheres, and blazing solos. The latest singles “A.I.R. Max“, “Neo Paris” and “Back 2 Basics” have each surpassed the one-million-stream mark, offering a taste of the album’s direction.

The album will also feature songs such as “Payback“, the upcoming October single “Falcon“, and “Nemesis“, which includes a guest appearance from Ten56. frontman Aaron Matts. The band described the release as follows:

“With this fourth album, we tried to surprise our audience while staying true to our DNA. The era of Shogun No Shi is over – please welcome the super Mecha Falcon, which symbolizes modernization in both content and sound. Northstar is back!”

Vocalist Vitia added:

“Attitude, Integrity, Respect… taken to the max. That’s what ROTN has always been about, and that won’t change. In over 15 years I’ve never followed trends or watered down our style. From the start, ROTN has been a mix of rap metal, hardcore and neo-Japanese aesthetics, and that’s how it will stay.”

Guitarist Eva-B continued:

“When writing A.I.R. Max, I wanted to go back to our roots, back to the WelcAme era. Catchy, groovy riffs with a laid-back attitude. This track reminds everyone that even though our sound evolves, the DNA remains the same.”
