ROTN say: “With the new album we tried to surprise our audience whilst staying true to our DNA, by bringing something new without crucifying the old. The era of Shogun No Shi is over, please welcome the super Mecha Falcon, symbol of modernization of content and form, from the writing to the sound – Northstar is coming back!”
Chapter 04: Red Falcon Super Battle! Neo Paris War!! Is a collection of thirteen heavy hitting modern rap-metal and hardcore anthems – a leaner blend of the band’s own mixture of head banging grooves, atmospheric melodies, and fast epic solos. The record’s lead singles “A.I.R. Max,” “Neo Paris,” and “Back 2 Basics,” which have largely surpassed the million streams mark already, show the caliber of material on the new album. Other highlights from the album include the crushing opener “Payback”, “Nemesis” feat. Aaron Matts of Ten 56, and “Falcon” (which is set for release as a single in October).

More from ROTN:
“Metal-Hardcore-Rap-Manga”: These are the four words that perfectly define Rise Of The Northstar’s singularity. Originating from the Parisian suburbs, the band has a steadfast independent attitude and an uncompromising outlook for artistic crossover. Their aesthetic sits at the crossroads of urban reality and Japanese fiction, and for over a decade they have been blending these visual elements with their high energy sound to create an explosive cocktail of styles. With three EPs and three albums under their belt, and a solid reputation in the live arena, the band has forged its own unique place in the metal/hardcore scenes. This versatility has allowed them to tour with a diverse selection of well known acts. From the extreme sounds of Suicide Silence, to mainstream metal titans Machine Head and arena filling acts like Electric Callboy, ROTN can hold their own and win over new fans in almost any setting.
At the crossroads of urban reality and Japanese fiction, with 3 Eps and 3 albums, the band has forged a unique style and identity over time, coupled with a solid reputation as a monster of stage energy. Rise Of The Northstar is the second French metal band after Gojira to have a song streamed over twenty five million times on Spotify (The single “Here Comes The Boom”) and their video for the song “Demonstrating My Saiya Style” has also reached over nine million views, proving that their hard working DIY ethos has provided the fruits that many bands with major label backing struggle to achieve. Their video for the song “Demonstrating My Saiya Style” shot during their first tour of Japan in 2012 has reached +9M views. Now it’s time for ROTN to strike again. Chapter 04: Red Falcon Super Battle! Neo Paris War!! will be out on Nov. 14th 2025. A new album backed by a headline tour of Europe and Latin America in 2025 (with Deez Nuts, Get The Shot and Half Me as supports).
