Rise of The Northstar - Chapter 4 : Red Falcon Super Battle! Neo Paris War!! (2025)

As you can guess, Chapter 4 : Red Falcon Super Battle! Neo Paris War!! is the fourth album from the most ambitious French hardcore band, Rise of The Northstar. Is the music backing the attitude? I think it is, this fourth one is another convincing one, maybe not better than the two previous ones, but adding some more diversity to a music already very "crossover", mostly reminding Biohazard, with its mix of old school hardcore, metallic hardcore, nu-metal, hip-hop, and for ROTN a bit of deathcore and now some bits of melodic hardcore as well. Cool stuff!

 

Rise of The Northstar - Showdown (2023)

Following the excellent Legacy of Shi wasn't an easy task, but I'd say Rise of The Northstar managed to do it with Showdown. Their manga inspired mix of Biohazard flavoured metallic hardcore and nu metal (Korn and Slipknot comes to mind) produced again a very enjoyable album filled with finely crafted and catchy songs. Highly recommended!
