Rise of the Northstar

Rise of the Northstar, originally formed in the Paris suburbs, embodies a unique world where metal, hardcore, rap and manga culture intersect. For more than ten years the band has cultivated a fiercely independent identity, at the crossroads of urban reality and Japanese imagery. With three EPs and three full-length albums, they have built an explosive, unmistakable style that blends devastating groove, thrash riffs and a punchy flow. Their manga-influenced visual aesthetic and extraordinary stage energy have earned them a fearsome reputation on every stage they play. Collaborating notably with Joe Duplantier of Gojira, Rise of the Northstar has established itself as a benchmark of modern crossover. With emblematic tracks like "Here Comes The Boom", "Again and Again" and "Showdown" from their latest album released in April 2023, the band continues to electrify crowds worldwide. Their message is clear: power, attitude and Parisian pride.
